A few days later, Ah Gu Da and his father set off, this time it was also the first time that Ah Gu Da went out of the house, and the group included his father Wan Yan Impeachment Li Bo and the second uncle Wan Yan Yingge, the second uncle took his son Wan Yan Sacai and the third uncle's son Wan Yan Lou, as well as the shaman's adopted son Tianci, and 4 retinues.

Although the children knew each other, they didn't know each other well.

Second Uncle Wan Yan Ying's child Wan Yan Sacai is a little chubby, not tall, always wearing a brown and black spacious coat, his skin is very fair, like a woman's, when he was a child, his friends laughed at him for this time, but he didn't care, he always smiled on his face, and had a good temper.

And Wanyan Lou Room is a sturdy young man, tall and burly, with dark noodle soup, and he looks like a traditional Jurchen warrior.

Finally, there is the adopted son of the shaman, Godci, who is the most unusual of this group, this person is elegant-looking, but a little bookish.

He wasn't big, he was even a little thin, but he was strong, and he looked a little shy along the way.

A group of 10 people walked on the road, Wanyan Impeachment Bowl in the middle, Wanyan Hai, Brother Wanyan Ying and other adults on both sides, they walked side by side in front, 4 sixteen or seventeen-year-old children walked in the middle, and the rest of the entourage walked behind.

Ah Gu hit the middle position on the left side, and next to him was Wanyan Sacai and Tianci, and next to Wanyan Sacai was Wanyan Lou's room.

Unlike the shy people shown by Tianci, Wanyan Sacai is very active along the way, this little fat man himself is very good at talking, and he is giggling with everyone.

Didn't it take a long time to pull a few servants before getting on the horse, Wan Yan Sacai turned sideways and said to Ah Guta: "Haven't you been to the hunting class for the past few days? You're in for a loss. ”

Wanyan Aguda was also playful, and said with some curiosity: "What did the second uncle take you for?" ”

Wanyan Sacai said: "My father let us go hunting in the wild by ourselves, and it was very fun to eat wild game. ”

Wanyan Lou interrupted his brother's words and said: "What you said is so beautiful, it seems that you really listen to the lecture all the time, you forgot to call a fragrant sleep in the afternoon, have you hunted?" It's all eaten by me and God-given. We haven't eaten a few bites in the afternoon, and it's all in your stomach, Ah Guta, you have to be careful of him. ”

When Wanyan Sacai heard his brother's words, he originally wanted to establish a new and brilliant image in front of his friends, but everything was disrupted, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm here to help you taste and see if you do well, you really don't know how good people are." ”

Tianci, who has never spoken, also spoke, and said with some amusement: "You are a good person who is easy enough." ”

Wan Yan Sacai smiled, hurriedly changed the topic and said: "This time I went to Nanjing in Daliao, and listened to my father, it was a good place." But when I got there, it was said that I had to pass through the Bohai Sea in Liaodong, where it was said that there was a sea, and I had heard the old people tell the story of the sea more than once. ”

Ah Guda asked with some curiosity: "I have heard of the Bohai Kingdom, but I don't know much about the sea. ”

Tianci said at this time, "There is also a place called the Land of Death. ”

Aguda asked curiously, "What is the place of death?" ”

Tianci scratched his head and said: "I don't know, these are all told by Abba, it is said that it is very terrible there, it is said that the other side of the sea is the temple, and there is a god in the sea to protect it." ”

Several people looked at each other, all curious.

Tianci said at this time: "As for the rest, I don't know, but we shouldn't be able to see the sea on this way, but I heard Abba say that Nanjing is a good place." ”

Wanyan Sacai said: "Although I haven't been there, but I heard my father tell me during the training, it is said that this Nanjing is a place with millions of residents and a city covering an area of thousands of miles. It's a first-class big city, and there are shops in the forest, so to speak, there is nothing you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't see. ”

Tianci next to him said: "This is true, according to my adoptive father told me when he was a child: if you walk from the south of Nanjing to the north of the city, it will take half a day." ”

Ah Guda thought for a while and said, "Sure enough, it's a big city." ”

Everyone chatted and left, and the group slowly and leisurely took all kinds of goods to Ningchuan Prefecture.

Ah Guda and Tianci and others have become more familiar along the way.

In this way, in the blink of an eye, 2 days later, the tall city wall of Ningchuan Prefecture stood in front of everyone, and the impeachment bowl pulled the reins of the horse, so that the galloping red horse stopped.

This city is full of history, tall and majestic, with many sentry posts on it, and the city is crowded with people, where there are some potholes and city walls full of history, as if every pothole has a story to sing and cry about.

He looked up at the tall city, and said with some sadness and indignation: "It's been 15 years, I'm back again, children, you see, there are potholes everywhere, you have to remember that it is the blood of the Jurchen martyrs, in this city, we have died too many people, but we Jurchens have never climbed to the head of this city called Ningchuan Prefecture, do you know?" Fifteen years ago, I was just one step away from that city, but it was like a moat.

Here, including the Bohai Kingdom in front, was originally the land of our Jurchens, and I really hope that one day, we can recover these lands. Impeachment said with some melancholy.

Impeachment looked at the city, looked at the Liao soldiers on the city, he hated, he was unwilling, how much he wanted to climb the city tower of Ningchuan Prefecture, how much he wanted to recover the Bohai Kingdom, but all this came to naught, and now he has to go to Nanjing to offer Haidongqing to the emperor of Liao. He stared at the city for a long time.

At this time, Brother Ying patted Libo's shoulder and said, "Big brother, let's go, after here, we will reach the Bohai Sea in Liaodong." ”

Impeachment nodded and said loudly: "Let's go, let's not stop in Ningchuan Prefecture and Huanglong Mansion." ”

Brother Ying said to the impeachment bowl: "By the way, big brother, do we still want to meet the Shadow Rebels this time?" “

"Of course, if this plan fails, we still have to discuss with them. ”

Brother Ying said with some hesitation: "Big brother, do we really have to tell them the truth?" I'm afraid they'll have a hard time accepting it. ”

Impeachment said firmly: "After all, all of our information was provided to us by shadows, and we should tell them the truth." ”

Ah Guda stepped forward with some curiosity and asked, "Father, what is the shadow?" ”

Impeachment said with a complicated expression: "You'll know when you arrive." ”

After the impeachment bowl finished speaking, the horse galloped,

Brother Ying, several children and his entourage followed.

After a while, there was a rolling mountain in front of the house and looked up, mountain after mountain, mountain after ridge, mountains overlapped, strange rocks were born, it was winter, heavy snow covered the mountain, only which bare tree trunk and a piece of white snow on the mountain. And they rode to the foot of the mountain.

He dismounted and shouted to the mountain, "Shadow, come out." ”

At this moment, a tree suddenly shook, and the snow on the tree fell down, and two people came up from the tree, both of them were dressed in brown velvet jackets and brown velvet hats, but there were some patches on them, and they were wearing a little shabby, and both of them were holding a saber in their hands. Look at the impeachment bowl.

One of them, younger, in his 20s, was burly, tall, and handsome. The other person is not tall, about 40 years old, very strong, with a beard, a dark face, and a scar on his face, which looks a little vicious.

I saw a young man shouting, "Who are you?" How do you know about us? ”

The older man in the back said in disbelief: "Is it General Wanyan impeaching Libo?" ”

Impeachment smiled and said, "Yes, take me into your cottage." ”

The older man in the back said to the young man in front: "Little Liu, this is the big hero Wanyan impeachment bowl that your father told you." ”

The young man named Xiaoliu was stunned, and then said excitedly: "Uncle, you say this is really the impeachment of General Liba?" ”

The older man patted Liuzi's head and smiled, "Silly boy, how could I lie to you?" This is the impeachment of General Libo. ”

Liuzi's eyes were full of admiration and respect when he looked at the impeachment, and he was a little shy for a while and didn't know what to say.

The older man in the back came over and said to Impeachment: "General Impeachment, you may not remember me, 15 years ago, when I was only 19 years old, you saved me." My name is Gaul. ”

He suddenly came to his senses, put his hands on Gaul's shoulders, and said excitedly: "You are a brother of Gaul, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Gaul was also very excited, and said: "Yes, after 15 years, we have not seen each other again." By the way, at this time, my brother Gao Shun's Gao Yongchang, we all called him the sixth son. ”

Wan Yan patted the bowl and said, "What a strong young man, exactly the same as when his father was young. ”

Gaul said very enthusiastically: "Let's go to the village first, if the eldest brother knows that you are coming, he will be very happy." As he spoke, he walked side by side with the impeachment bowl.

Wan Yan impeached the bowl and said: "Yes, 15 years have passed, and I miss him too." ”

Gaul suddenly said with some doubts: "Why didn't the Puchahong brothers come this time?" You're here in person? ”

Wanyan impeached Libo's face was a little ugly, and he said sadly: "Brother Pucha was killed by the envoy of the Liao State. ”

Gaul also looked surprised and said, "What? ”

Wan Yan impeached the bowl and said with a heavy face: "Brother Pu Chahong was killed by the Liao people, this time the Liao people came to sweep, and many of our Jurchens died, how are you here?" ”

Gaul said angrily: "The Liao people who are killed by God, our side is not very good, the Liao people have broken through our painstaking management of the village for 15 years. ”

Wan Yan impeached the bowl and said: "What, your stockade was broken by the Liao? ”

Gaul sighed and said: "More than 10 days ago, they suddenly attacked, we killed a lot of people, my eldest brother and I broke out with some people, and now it is still safe." ”

Luckily, a month ago, the Puchahong brothers sent some food, and we hid it here, and we can survive here.

Gaul then said, "Impeachment brothers, let's go in first." ”

The group walked and chatted, and soon came to a cave. The cave could be as tall as a man.

Gaul walked straight in.

Impeachment frowned and said, "Do you live in a cave now?" ”

Gaul's face was a little stiff and smiled and said: "The Liao people destroyed our cottage, we were homeless, so we had to live in this cave where grain was once stored, but the cave is also good, living in the cave, we dug the escape channel, the cunning rabbit three caves, and the Liao people can't catch us." ”

Impeachment patted him on the shoulder and said, "It seems that you are not doing well, I have suffered you, you can rest assured that one day we will fight back." ”

Gaul nodded and said, "Big brother, I believe in you. ”

The cave was very dark, and a few people took down the trunk of the tree, sat on a few simple torches, and walked in. The inside is not very spacious, only two people can walk side by side, and the dark rock wall is still dripping, which is a little gloomy. The ground was wet. The ground was very slippery, and several people walked carefully in the cave, extra careful.

After walking for dozens of meters, the front suddenly brightened up and became brightly lit, and a few children playing were faintly seen in front of me.

There are also stone caves on both sides of the cave, there are people in and out from time to time, people are dressed simply, people are a little thin, it can be seen that life is still very hard, but people's faces are like a spring breeze smile, children play peek-a-boo in the cave, laughing happily.

At this time, Gaul said with some embarrassment: "This is our new home, a little shabby. ”

Impeachment shook his head and said, "How shabby? When your eldest brother fled, I think that when the rebel army cottage was first established, it was not much more shabby than this. ”

Gallic laughed and said, "Yes, I was a kid and you were young. ”

Impeachment said with deep sympathy: "Yes, time flies so fast. ”

Everyone continued to walk in, under the leadership of Gaul, everyone turned around, the front suddenly opened up, the usual cave entrance is about 2 meters high, and here is 5 meters high, the space is open, there is a natural small hole above, a few rays of sunlight shine into the cave, but the cave is still a little dark

The mats on the sides and in front of them are a little simple, but they are not lacking in natural beauty.

A middle-aged man was lying on a straw mat, this person was emaciated, his face was weak, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, he was dressed in a white robe, covered with a brown fur quilt, and he coughed a few times from time to time.

Seeing this, he was shocked, got up, sat next to the straw mat, and said in disbelief: "Is it Brother Gao Shun?" Brother, what's wrong with you? What's going on? ”

Gao Shun opened his cloudy eyes with difficulty, and the moment he saw the impeachment, his eyes lit up suddenly. He sat up, his eyes were soaked with tears, but he smiled: "Brother Impeachment, you are Brother Impeachment, you are here." ”

Impeachment smiled and said, "If it's fake, Brother Gao Shun, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Gao Shun hugged the impeachment bowl, left his eyes excitedly, choked up and said: "It's really brother, haha, how many years, brother, I miss you to death." ”

Impeachment Libo was also a little choked up, and said: "It's been 15 years since I said goodbye in a blink of an eye. ”

Gao Shun said: "Yes, brother, but your help to us has not been interrupted at all, Brother Pu Chahong was sent by you, and a few days ago, you also sent us a lot of food?" That's how we got through this crisis. Why, didn't the Puchahong brothers come? ”

Impeachment sighed and said, "Brother Pu Chahong was killed by the Liao people, and this time the Liao envoys were overbearing and killed many of our people. ”

Gao Shun said sadly: "The people of Liao are really inferior to beasts. ”

Gao Shun pulled Gao Yongchang and said to the impeachment bowl: "This is my son Gao Yongchang, when he was a child, I told him a lot about our things back then, this kid can't worship you." ”

"Kid, you haven't seen Uncle Impeachment yet." Gao Shun looked at his son and said.

Gao Yongchang said obediently: "Impeach Uncle Libo." ”

Impeachment Libo smiled, nodded in response, and then said to Gao Shun: "Brother, how many people are still in your shadow?" How's it going? ”

Gao Shun said: "A lot of people died, the cottage was breached, and we could only live in caves." ”

At this time, Ah Gu on the side opened his big eyes with curiosity, and said puzzledly: "Uncle, why are you called Shadow?" ”

Impeachment smiled and said, "This is my son Ah Guta, I've seen your Uncle Gao Shun soon." ”

Ah Guda also said obediently: "Uncle Gao Shun is good." ”

Gao Shun smiled a little bitterly and said, "You asked me what a shadow is, it's a heavy topic. ”

He said affectionately with some sadness: "70 years ago, the last city of the Bohai Kingdom, our last habitat was captured by the Liao, we were homeless, and the people who lost their homes were as helpless as shadows, and could only live in this dark place to survive, unable to live a normal life, so I was like a shadow, and I will never forget our shame that year." ”

Ah Guda nodded and said, "Uncle, sooner or later, we will talk with you about the Liao people driving out of the Bohai Sea, don't worry." ”

Gao Shun smiled and said, "It is worthy of being the son of the impeachment brothers, he is not old, but his ambitions are lofty." ”

Impeachment shook his head and said, "Don't praise him, we have a lot of things to tell you this time." ”

Impeachment hesitated for a moment, and said a little gloomily: "Our plan failed, the Sushilie tribe rebelled and betrayed our plan to Xiao Wuna, and Xiao Wuna reported it to the Emperor of Liao, but fortunately, the Emperor of Liao did not take it seriously, and now he can only look for a new opportunity." ”

Gao Shun's face changed greatly, the hand supporting him trembled violently, and suddenly his face turned pale, a mouthful of blood spit out, he coughed violently, his hand clenched the sheet, and his face became even more pale and weak.

Gao Shun's eyes suddenly became dim again, lying on the bed, his eyes were full of tears, and he said sadly: "It's this Xiao Wuna again, this damn old guy, he was the one who attacked our last city back then, and he was the one who destroyed the tribal alliance 15 years ago, how can he appear now, I really can't wait to take a knife and cut him with my own hands." ”

Impeachment also gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I will never forget how my father and second brother were killed by him, and we will have to settle this revenge with him sooner or later." ”

Gao Shun said with some melancholy: "Brother, do you really think that the union can destroy the Liao State?" 15 years ago, we 10,000 coalition troops, but we couldn't capture only more than 1,500 people stationed in Huanglong Mansion, I am really disappointed in the coalition army, and 15 years, we are ready for everything, but the people are not aligned. ”

Impeachment also sighed, and said helplessly: "Yes." So what? The most powerful Jurchen is the Sushilie tribe, and we only need to unite them to fight against the Liao people, how can I fight against the Liao with less than 5,000 people in my Wanyan tribe? ”

Gao Shun coughed more violently, and his body was trembling.

Impeachment said with concern: "Brother, you can rest first." ”

Gao Shun shook his head and said: "You have also seen that our life is extremely difficult now, and although the Liao people transferred 2,000 people from Huanglong Mansion a few months ago, I thought it was our opportunity, but I didn't notice that Huanglong Mansion had changed a general soldier, and this person was named Xiao Zhen." When he brought 3,000 people to my camp, I realized that thousands of us had died, and only a few hundred escaped, and the cottage we had worked so hard for 15 years was over. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Shun burst into tears, as did Gaul and Gao Yongchang.

Gao Shun lay down and said a little weakly: "I watched with my own eyes those Liao soldiers slaughtering the people in the cottage like they slaughtered our last city 15 years ago, with corpses all over the field and rivers of blood. I also had arrow wounds and typhoid fever.

Brother, in fact, the new Grand Duke Ding is not terrible, you have to be careful of a person, a person in a black robe, it is him, I have never seen a person's arrows can be so accurate, you have to be careful of him, this person is always in the dark. ”

Impeachment nodded and said, "Brother, you can rest and rest, let's talk another day." ”

Gao Shun shook his head and said: "No, I know, my life is not enough, I have an arrow wound today, I am going to die, but I ...... I...... Unwilling, 15 years ago, in my hands, the Huanglong Mansion was lost, and we Bohai people have been displaced since then, I am not reconciled. Gao Shun began to cough violently, and his body trembled.

Wanyan patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and comforted: "Brother, a few days ago, the shaman said to me that the great god of nature said that the day of the rise of our Jurchens is not far off. ”

Gao Shun smiled, picked up Gao Yongchang's hand, smoothed his breath, and eased up a little, so he said to the impeachment bowl: "Yongchang is still young, he still lacks experience, and now the edict of the wanted rebels has been posted all over Ningchuan Prefecture, and it is too dangerous here now. ”

Gao Yongchang nodded silently.

At this moment, countless soldiers of the Shadow Rebels came over, their heads bowed, their eyes full of tears.

Gao Shun smiled, he suddenly returned to the light, sat up strongly, and said loudly to the people present: "The Liao country is strong, and the lost land in the Bohai Sea cannot be recovered in one day, so that the land of my ancestors can be recovered, and millions of people in Liaodong can regain their freedom and live and work in peace and contentment, so success does not have to be me."

I sacrifice first. And my descendants, generation after generation, from generation to generation, never give up, on the basis of this belief, there will always be a day when Liaodong can be restored. ”

Hearing these words, the eyes of those lost rebels appeared with the scene of General Gao Shun leading them to fight, blood stained the battlefield, they clenched their fists, and reaffirmed their belief in fighting.

After Gao Shun said this, as if he had exhausted his last bit of strength, his eyes gradually dimmed, his head tilted, and his eyes slowly closed. In this way, a generation of famous generals Gao Shun died of hatred.

Gao Yongchang, who was standing next to him, cried loudly, and everyone was also in tears.

Impeachment patted Gao Yongchang on the shoulder and said, "Let's mourn and change." ”

Impeachment thought for a while and then said, "Virtuous nephew, the shadow will be handed over to you in the future, do you have any thoughts in the future?" ”

Gao Yongchang thought for a while, and then said to everyone: "Now that the enemy is outnumbered, if we fight, it is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg, my father is right, now we will first break it into pieces, scatter in the mountains and activities, and when the time is ripe, we will hold high the banner of righteousness and achieve great things together." ”

Everyone agreed.

At this time, he asked: "Yongchang, your father asked you to go to Nanjing City with me, let's go, it's not safe here, the Liao army is now strictly investigated, there are wanted decrees everywhere, I have a letter from Lord Xiao, the prime minister of Liao, it's safer, come with us." ”

Gao Yongchang nodded and said, "Okay, then please finish Uncle Yan, and when I finish taking care of these aftermaths, I will leave with my uncle at noon tomorrow." ”
