Chapter 9 A Gu fights to save Lily of the Valley
9, A bone fights to save Lily of the Valley
At the same time, in a place in the Great Xing'an Mountains with endless dense forests, the sun gradually sets, and the sun sets in the west, reflecting on the snow of the white mountain forest, exuding colorful colors, which is particularly beautiful.
A sika deer gracefully shuttled through the woods, it was like an elegant nobleman, proudly raising its beautiful neck, its silky beautiful fur was particularly beautiful against the white snow, it walked slowly, as if the proud lord was patrolling his territory.
But what it didn't know was that two sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys were lying motionless on the snow and observing it.
Both of them are exceptionally strong, one of them, fair-skinned, dressed in brown animal skin, the collar of the big is made of the most precious purple mink, the waist wears a gold belt, and there are some carvings on the belt, depicting the beautiful swan and the fierce Haidongqing (a very fierce bird, can often prey on animals much larger than themselves, is the first totem of the Jurchen tribe, the second totem is the swan), the pitch-black riding boots under his feet are shiny, and he holds a longbow in his hand, His eyes were fixed on the sika deer in the distance, like a tiger watching its prey. He called Yan Agu to beat. is the young patriarch of the Wanyan tribe, and his father is the patriarch of the Wanyan tribe.
The other man had a dark complexion, dressed in a light gray animal skin, the collar of the big man was made of white mink, and he wore a copper belt around his waist, and the belt also had a beautiful pattern of swan and Haidongqing, but the carving was a little simpler, the same black riding boots, and a bamboo basket on his back, which was full of bows and arrows, his name was Xi Gu Nai, and he was a servant of the Wanyan family, and he was also the servant of Wanyan Aguta.
At this time, Xi Gu Nai whispered to Wanyan Aguta in Liao: "Young Master, this sika deer is really arrogant, as arrogant and rude as those envoys of the Liao Kingdom who come and go from various ethnic groups. ”
Wanyan said: "Yes, but no matter how arrogant the sika deer is, it will also be our lunch, not only that, one day, I will drive those damn Liao envoys out of the Jurchen tribe, and I will become a great hero who stands up to the sky and the earth more powerful than my father." Wanyan said with a firm tone.
After saying that, Yan Agu quietly pulled out the feather arrow behind Xi Gu Nai, the bow pulled the full moon, and as soon as he let go, an arrow shot at the beautiful neck of the sika deer, and in an instant, blood splattered, leaving a beautiful trace on the white snow, and the proud sika deer fell.
Sigunai walked over and picked up the sika deer. At this time, Wanyan Aguda said: "It's time, let's go back, Sister Lily of the Valley and Uncle Hong must be waiting and anxious." ”
Higunai agreed, and the two went out of the forest, and two horses awaited their masters, one was red, fat, and strong, and a rare horse, and the other was grayish-white with some small spots, and a little thin and soft, and was an ordinary horse.
Ah Gu hit the red war horse, and Xi Gu Nai got on the gray and white horse.
Ah Guda looked at Xigunai's horses and said, "Brother, your horse is too late, I'll get you a war horse in a few days." ”
Xi Gu Nai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master, I am a slave, and it is already my honor to have a horse to ride, how can I expect this?" Besides, there are only 500 war horses that have fallen into the war, and I can be worthy of it. ”
Ah Gu said angrily: "It's those hateful Liao people again, damn the ban on horses, we Jurchens are originally a people who grew up on horseback, but let us leave the war horse, isn't that equivalent to breaking our legs?" ”
Xi Gu Nai nodded and said, "Yes, if all of our Jurchen warriors have war horses, I believe that even those Liao cavalry will not be afraid." ”
The two of them rode together to the tribe's residence, and their tribe's place of residence was called Hushui City, which means gold in the Jurchen tribe, and the meaning of Hushui is the water that produces gold. It shows the preciousness of water to the Jurchen tribe.
Walking on the road, Wanyan Aguda said to Xi Gu Nai: "This time it is also blessed by the Haidong Qingshen (a totem believed by the Jurchens), so that we have met the rare treasure of the sika deer, and when we arrive at Uncle Hong's house, we will definitely be able to eat a delicious meal." ”
Xi Gu Naiba smacked his lips and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten delicious sika venison, and today it seems to be a blessing." ”
As he spoke, he went out of the forest and was confronted by a large river, which was covered with a thick layer of ice, but this did not stop the fishermen from fishing, as long as they carved a hole in the river, they could catch delicious fish. Therefore, this river is the lifeline of the entire Hushui City.
But unlike usual, today there is not a single fisherman fishing, the ice is quiet and terrible, only the cold wind blows on the water.
The two young men full of joy stared at this scene blankly, and wondered a little in their hearts, and then Wanyan Aguda suddenly thought of a terrible thing, and suddenly his face changed, and said: "Today will not be the day when the silver envoy of the Liao Kingdom will go to our tribe, otherwise how can it be so quiet?" ”
Xi Gu Nai shook his head and said: "Young Master, it's impossible, young master, you forgot, the envoy of the Liao State only comes once in at least two years, the envoy of the Liao State just came last year, and it is impossible to come this year, and the envoy will give some face to the big tribes, and it is impossible for the envoy to appear near the Wanyan tribe." ”
Wanyan thought for a while and said, "Yes, no matter, let's go to Uncle Hong's house to have a look." ”
Speaking of the envoys of Liao, we have to talk about Liao. The Liao State is a huge empire, a large country subject to the submission of all ethnic groups, and the Liao State sent envoys to collect tribute, initially just to collect it appropriately, in order to show the prestige of the country.
But with the greed of the rulers of the Liao State, the Liao government continued to increase the tribute, and even selected 20 civilians to be sent to the Liao State as slaves by drawing lots, and the envoy of the Liao State was also extremely arrogant, if you see the girl who has not left the cabinet, the girl must not be able to escape the clutches of the Liao envoy.
Therefore, many people sent the girls who had not left the pavilion to the mountains before the Liao envoys came, and they also regularly sent cavalry to attack the small tribes of the Jurchens on the grounds of reducing Ding, and often the small tribes were slaughtered, but for the large tribes of the Jurchens, these were negotiable.
And Uncle Hong is called Pei Manhong, and Lily of the Valley is called Pei Manlily of the Valley. His home was next to the Tiger Water, and Pei Manhong was the most famous Jurchen merchant who knew several languages. Since his house is closest to the Tiger Water, many children who want to play in the Tiger Water will stay at his house for a night, and his house always has some exotic rarities, which are very fun.
Wanyan Aguta often comes here, and the most heartwarming thing for Aguta is Pei Manhong's daughter Pei Manlizulan.
Pei Manlily of the Valley, who has just turned 17 years old, is already down-to-earth and generous, a first-class beauty in this tribe, with big sapphire-like eyes, a high nose bridge, a beautiful melon seed face, and a white skin like clotted fat as smooth as jade, coupled with a good graceful figure that has developed and a face that is always smiling, it is unforgettable, and now as he grows older, Wanyan Aguda has a trace of indescribable admiration for this sister who is one year older than him in addition to friendship.
As the Book of Psalms says:
Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island.
My Fair Lady, Gentleman.
Jagged wattles, left and right flowing.
My Fair Lady, I covet it.
These words show Wanyan Aguta's recent state of mind, and he really loves this sister who has played since she was a child.
Therefore, he often hunts in the mountains and forests, and always comes to Wan Yanhong's house to share the prey, and today is no exception.
Not long after Wanyan Aguta and Xi Gu Nai walked along the river, they saw a house made of wood and earth, which was very large, covering an area of 200 square meters, which was enough to show the wealth of Pei Manhong's family.
Wanyan Aguda walked into Pei Manhong's door.
Ah Guda shouted loudly, "Uncle Hong, we are back." “
But no one responded, and the yard was a little messy and empty.
There were still some blood stains on the ground, and there was something wrong with Aguta's senses.
He pulled out the scimitar at his waist and walked slowly and step by step towards the door.
Ah Gu walked over and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Ah Gu suppressed his voice and said to Xi Gu Nai behind him: "At this time, Uncle Hong can't go out to do business, why isn't he at home?" ”
Xi Gu Nai frowned and said, "No, young master, look, it's very messy here, and there are traces of fighting, let's go in and have a look." ”
Ah Gu took a look, and sure enough, there were still blood stains on the ground, although it was covered with soil, but some were missing, Ah Gu was startled and hurriedly kicked the door open.
The door opened, and then the light outside the house, Ah Gu took a fixed look, the corpse, 2 corpses, the corpse was hung on the beam of the house, the corpse had a hideous face, and it was bleeding, it was Pei Manhong and his wife Wanyan Yize, Ah Gu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, lowered his head, the pots and pans on the ground were shattered, and the blood was all over the ground.
Xi Gu Nai looked at the corpse and said: "Young master, it was done by the Liao people, it was definitely done by the Liao people, they would slaughter the Jurchen small village when they reduced the Ding, and then hang the corpse on it, this is the usual trick of the Liao people." ”
Ah Guda nodded and said, "It's a damn Liao, by the way, Lily of the Valley is not here, go find Lily of the Valley." Ah Guda hurriedly kicked open the window and looked into the backyard, but only saw some cattle and sheep.
Sigunai also opened the cellar, but there was no lily of the valley to be seen.
Xi Gu Nai said: "Master, they may have taken Miss Lily of the Valley away, and the Liao people will see young women..."
Aguda turned to Sigunai and said, "Sigunai, you get on your horse and tell my father about this, and I will save Lily of the Valley." ”
Xi Gu Nai just wanted to speak, but saw that Ah Guda had already turned over and got on his horse, rode his horse and whipped away, and galloped away.
Higunai shouted, "Master. ”
But there was no echo, he sighed, there was no way, he stomped his feet, turned over his horse, and galloped towards Hushui City.
Wanyan Aguta was originally very tall, and at the age of 16, he was about the same height as an adult, plus he hunted all year round, and his body was very strong.
Wanyan Aguda urged the war horse, the war horse neighed, galloped away, Wanyan Aguda did not choose to take the big road, but chose a straight path, which could save a lot of time and intercept the Liao envoys before they arrived in Ningjiang Prefecture (a city in Liao). Wanyan Agu held the horsewhip and frantically urged the war horse, and he and the war horse shuttled through the somewhat narrow path like a bolt of lightning.
When they arrived on the main road, they happened to meet the convoy of Liao envoys who were slowly moving forward. During this period, seven or eight Liao soldiers escorted several dejected Jurchen young men, led by a person who was carried on a stretcher, it was Yelu Yan, the Liao envoy who was preparing to return.
And on the last horse there was a girl tied, the girl was tied to the horse, the girl was dressed in a broken white dress, a little broken, but her body was a little thin, she looked a little delicate, her face was a little pale, a pair of affectionate eyes, her eyes flowed, her eyes were soaked with tears, tears were swaying, her eyes were red, and what kind of hard-hearted person could not move? It is Pei Manlily of the Valley, who is a crush on Aguta.
It turned out that when Yeluyan followed the cavalry of the Liao State back, he suddenly saw a house, and a woman came out of the house, which was unbelievably beautiful, and Yeluyan stayed at once.
Yeluyan had some evil thoughts in his heart, so he let the army leave first with the loot, and he himself killed on a large scale.
Unexpectedly, the harvest was quite rich, this family can be said to be very rich, Yeluyan looked at the harvest of nearly a cart of money, and laughed: "This harvest is quite big, and I also harvested a little beauty, as well as so much gold, silver and jewelry." ”
A soldier said to Yeluyan: "My lord, I have seen from afar, those goods of his family, piled up like a mountain, must be a rich merchant, and that beautiful woman, so charming and moving, I have grown so big, I have only seen it in paintings, and now I have come to appreciate what it means to be captivating the country and the city." ”
Yeluyan said: "You kid, in addition to being lazy all day long, you still have some skills. ”
Another soldier looked at Lily of the Valley's beautiful heart-wrenching face, swallowed his saliva, and said: "My lord, can this beauty have fun, this little face, I have seen so many beauties in my life, but I have never seen such a symbol, even Lan Lan, the number one prostitute in the capital, is not as marked as her." ”
Yelu Yan laughed and said: "This kind of beauty that captivates the country and the city is not something we can afford, we still dedicate it to the emperor, and the emperor will be happy at that time, and reward us with a half-official position, and it will not be in vain for the serious injury on my leg this time, and when I get the reward, you can see if you can climb the Lanlan beauty who thinks about it all night in the brothel." ”
Another soldier shook his head and said with a little sarcasm: "The emperor's reward officials are all shaking, and people like us who have made military achievements for the birth and death of the imperial court are not good." I can't shake the dice, how can I shake a good official position. “
Another soldier said: "You don't know, my third uncle, but he is a master of shaking dice, shaking a big dice, the emperor directly made a big official, but he was embarrassed, how can his elm head who can't read half of the big characters govern the country." ”
Wanyan Aguta saw the enemy approaching step by step, looking at the tears in Lily of the Valley's eyes, the haggard face, and the flames of anger filling his body, he knew that today's things couldn't be good.
Therefore, he didn't say anything, he directly pulled out his bow and arrow, bent his bow and arrows, and his ability to hunt in the mountains in the past 10 years was not covered, and it was an arrow to the neck of the Liao envoy who was the leader.
An arrow sealed the throat, and blood burst out from the neck of the Liao envoy like a spring, and the Liao envoy screamed and fell under the horse.
When the rest of the Liao soldiers saw it, they hurriedly shouted: "There is an enemy, protect the messenger." They all urged the war horses to rush towards Wanyan Aguda.
Wanyan Aguda looked at the several Liao soldiers who rushed towards him, he didn't panic when he saw such a battlefield for the first time, he felt his blood boiling, and his heart couldn't help but get excited.
The neighing of the horses, the shouts of the enemy, and the strong wind in front of him could not make him panic.
He calmly drew his bow and arrows, and at this moment only the throat of the enemy was left in front of them, and the enemy's shouts had long since disappeared, and with an arrow, blood sprayed, and a Liao soldier fell to the ground in response.
By this time the soldiers had rushed to him, a sharp saber waving in front of him. He was a little enthusiastic at this moment, drew his saber, roared, urged his horse, and met the enemy.
In an instant, the short-handed battles were connected, and the sound of sabers colliding came and went. After a few rounds, Wanyan Agu killed a Liao soldier.
However, after all, it was the first time to go to the battlefield, and the enemy was outnumbered, and after the Liao soldiers found out that he was fighting bravely, they changed their tactics, never fought hard alone, and used wolf tactics to consume the physical strength of A Guda.
The first time he fought the enemy, Ah Guta still had little experience.
After a few rounds, Wanyan Agu didn't cut an enemy, but was slashed in the back by a Liao soldier, Wanyan Agu endured the pain and fought with the enemy again, due to the pain in the back, the action of Wanyan Agu began to slow down, and another knife, a Liao soldier slashed on Aguta's left arm.
Pain, Wan Yan gritted his teeth, the blood had already stained his big man, and at this time, Pei Man Lily of the Valley, who was on horseback, saw this scene, and her tears were full of tears.
But all this, Wanyan Agu didn't care about it, he didn't know how many times he was stabbed, and the blood all over his body didn't know whether it was his own or the enemy's, and it flowed down the horse's back.
Wanyan Aguta is fighting the enemy completely with a will. Finally, a group of cavalry appeared in the blurred eyes of Wanyan Aguta, and when Wanyan Aguda saw a tall man led by him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell off his horse slowly.
The group of cavalry on the road is the most elite white cavalry of the Wanyan tribe, led by a tall horse, a tall and strong body, wearing a pure white velvet hat like snow, gray-white leather jacket covered with soft armor, holding a saber, the war horse galloping, fast as lightning, it is the patriarch of the Wanyan tribe Wanyan impeachment bowl.
The impeachment bowl rushed towards several Liao soldiers, and the momentum was as if the gods had descended to earth. Unstoppable, the one behind is a little elegant, wearing a brown velvet hat, a pair of mustaches, and red phoenix eyes, but he has a bit of a scholarly temperament, and he is also holding a saber, which is Wanyan Ying's uncle.
It turned out that Wanyan Impeachment and his two brothers saw Xi Gu Nai running in in a hurry, and Impeachment Bowl understood the situation, and was very anxious, so he rushed over with Brother Wanyan Ying.
At this time, seeing a group of Jurchens killed, the soldiers of the Liao State were dumbfounded, and the first person said: "We are the soldiers of the Great Liao Kingdom, and the people of your Wanyan tribe actually attacked us, you are really bold and dare to attack the people of our Great Liao Kingdom." ”
These words did not have any effect on the already angry impeachment bowl, and the Liao soldier was cut in half by the oncoming Wanyan impeachment bowl. The remaining Liao soldiers were also killed.
After killing these Liao soldiers, Wan Yan got off the horse, picked up his son who fell in a pool of blood, looked at his son's pale face, and felt very guilty in his heart, feeling guilty that he did not protect his son, as the patriarch, but let the Liao people bully his tribe at will, and there were some tears in the corners of his eyes.
But then he covered it up, and ordered his cavalry to say: "Bury the corpses, and leave no traces." ”
Wanyan then handed over his war horse and Wanyan Aguda to Xi Gu Nai, and said to Xi Gu Nai: "You quickly take Ah Gu Da and ride my war horse back to find the shaman of the clan to heal." ”
After hearing this, Xi Gu Nai answered, and rode Wanyan Hailichi's war horse and took Wanyan Agu away.
Impeachment ordered: "Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and leave no traces." ”
This is Brother Wan Yan Ying walking over and saying, "Big brother, this is the silver envoy of the Liao Kingdom, but this time there is trouble." ”
Wan Yan sighed and said, "Since the matter has happened, what else can be done, we can only take one step at a time." ”
Subsequently, Wanyan Impeachment Libo returned to Hushui City with the cavalry of the tribe.
Wan Yan hurriedly rode to his door, his home was relatively magnificent, the house was made of dark bricks, and it was exceptionally neat.
Wan Yan dismounted and pushed open the door of the house, strode into the master bedroom, and saw the shaman of the clan applying ointment to his son.
Wanyan Aguta was lying on the bed, he had already lost too much blood and was already unconscious, Wanyan Aguta's mother was lazy Youxue was sitting on the edge of the bed to help the shaman with medicine.
Lazy Youxue is a woman in her early 40s, dressed in coarse cloth loungewear, with a graceful figure, a smile is charming and moving, and her kind face will always give birth to a sense of trust and intimacy.
The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed that she was a little older, but she had a little more mature charm.
However, it would be a big mistake to think that she was just a woman who was powerless, and the Jurchen female warrior should not be underestimated. How much more their leader! She is a rare good wife and mother who can go to the battlefield and go down to the kitchen.
Her eyes were full of anxiety at the moment.
Wanyan impeached the bowl and said to the shaman in a little anxious: "Shaman, how is my son now. ”
The shaman sighed and said, "I have done everything I can, but due to too much blood loss, it is really hard to say whether I can wake up or not, it can only depend on my fate." Ay. ”
Wanyan impeached the bowl and said with some melancholy: "Thank you, Lord Shaman." ”
The shaman said, "No thanks, this is what I should do. ”
Wan Yan impeached the bowl and smiled reluctantly.
The shaman blinked his somewhat misty eyes, yawned and said, "Patriarch, it's not too early, I have told Madame some things that I have noticed, and I will leave first, and if anything happens, go to me and call me." ”
Wanyan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you shaman." ”
After everyone left, the grief-stricken lazy Youxue couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears couldn't stop flowing downward.
Looking at his sad wife, Wan Yan also sighed, leaned over, hugged his wife who was crying and trembling tightly, and comforted: "This is the child's own choice, even if he dies, he can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and besides, the shaman said that there is no great possibility of survival, so don't be sad." ”
Lazy Youxue nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to her husband, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you." With that, he turned and walked out of the master bedroom.
Wan Yan looked at his son who was covered in bruises, and he didn't feel good in his heart, this is his own son!
But in terms of facts, if it were yourself, you would be so impulsive when you encounter this thing. Seeing his son who was unconscious on the hospital bed, he seemed to see his young self, and his face showed a smile of relief.
At the same time, in the General's Mansion of Huanglong Mansion of Liao State, in the middle of the night, a Liao soldier ran in in a panic and said loudly: The envoy Yeluyan has not come back yet, it is estimated that something has happened, we don't need to look for it.
Xiao Wuna, who was sitting in the first place, smiled and said: What are you panicking, isn't the worst result that he was killed by the people of the Wanyan tribe? What is there to be afraid of.
A general named Dagong Ding on Xiao Wuna's side said with some concern: My lord, after all, he is a messenger, if something really happens, I'm afraid my Da Liao will also be disgraced.
Xiao Wuna smiled and waved his hand, and the soldier stepped back randomly.
Xiao Wuna smiled and said: What if he doesn't have an accident? If he doesn't die, how can we find an excuse from the emperor to attack the Wanyan tribe, all of him died well, he died well, hahahaha.
The general next to him nodded and said, "The big marshal wants to deal with the Wanyan tribe."
Xiao Wuna shook his head and said: It's not something I want to deal with, it's not me who has offended the Wanyan tribe now, it's Da Liao's face, and the person who dealt with him is not me, it's Da Liao.
