Passing by the Daimyo's Mansion, Yang Huairen couldn't go into the city to go around and taste the local delicacies, because now his status is special, and it is inconvenient to show up.

The local officials also said polite words when they met as usual, and Yang Huairen didn't like this kind of entertainment, but the accompanying forbidden army needed the local government to provide food and be responsible for hospitality, so he could only be polite to others.

That night, Yu Hou, who was in charge of the guard, came to report, saying that he had caught a spy who had infiltrated the camp and was specially escorted to the big tent to ask Yang Huairen to send him down.

When Yang Huairen heard this, did he still have it? This hasn't even entered the realm of the Great Liao, and the envoy has been mixed in with spies?

Yang Huairen thought about it with a cold face, it should be unlikely, even if there are Khitan spies, they should follow them from afar, and they will not venture into the barracks.

Waving his hand at Yu Hou to escort the person into the big tent, Yu Hou shouted outside the tent, and a few small soldiers escorted a thin half-grown child in.

Yang Huairen saw that the one he caught was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man, so he relaxed, and said in his heart that it seemed that the soldiers under him were too careful, how could such an old child be a spy?

It was estimated that it was probably a poor child who was begging for food nearby, and he was hungry and panicked, so he had the courage to sneak into the camp, perhaps just to fill his stomach with a few cooking cakes.

"Loosen up," Yang Huairen ordered the soldiers to let go of the young man who was pressed to the ground and couldn't raise his head, and asked him again, "Tell me, what's the matter with you?" Stealing something into the Praetorian Army? ”

The young man shook his head, didn't say a word, but refused to raise his head, Yu Hou saw that this little guy was so rude to the general, so he raised his hand to fight, and scolded in his mouth, "I don't know how to lift, where do you think this is?" ”

"Hey!"

Yang Huairen stopped Yu Hou, because although this young man was wearing ordinary, Yang Huairen always had a familiar feeling.

He got up and walked forward from behind a few cases, lowered his head to observe the appearance of the young man, this look didn't matter, and almost made Yang Huairen cry.

Yang Huairen pulled away the few little soldiers who were pressing the young man, "Go out, this person is not an outsider, let alone a spy, this is my apprentice!" ”

Yu Hou and the soldiers on duty at night were confused, but they still listened to the order and scratched their brains and walked out of Yang Huairen's big tent.

When the people were far away, Yang Huairen pulled the young man up from the ground, helped him pat the dust on his body, and pretended to be angry, "I said big apprentice, which play are you playing with the master?" ”

The young man is none other than Yang Huairen's eldest apprentice, Yang Lotian! It's just that he changed into an ordinary little girl's clothes, and his face was smeared with pot ash like a big cat, not a familiar person, and it was really difficult to recognize at a glance.

Yang Lotian saw that he was still hiding his secrets, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The apprentice is wrong, the apprentice follows the master and the mission for a reason, please don't let me go back!" ”

Yang Huairen was stunned at this time, and said in his heart that you were "disguised" to follow the mission, this behavior is really too strange, and you won't let me send you back, what is the reason? Are you really planning to go to Liao with me?

Go to Liaoguo! Yang Huairen suddenly realized, with a lot of strength in his hand, he dragged Yang Lotian up, and asked with a cold face, "You don't really want to mix in the mission team to achieve the purpose of infiltrating Liao, right?" You tell the master, why did you go to Liao? ! ”

Yang Lotian suddenly had a burst of surprise on his face, followed by a burst of embarrassment and shame, knowing that the master still understood me, and guessed my mind at once.

He sighed, "Master, you are really as wise as a torch, and no matter what you think, you can't escape your eyes." The apprentice wants to go to Liao, for the sake of ...... Get. ”

"Looking for someone?! Who to look for? ”

Yang Lotian couldn't hide it, and his master Yang Huairen was not an outsider, and he had always treated him like a younger brother, so he had to say what he had hidden in his heart for a long time.

"I'm looking, looking for ...... Find my dad. ”

"Looking for your father? Aren't you an orphan? ”

"The apprentice didn't dare to expire the master, the apprentice was indeed an orphan, but he was just ......"

Yang Huairen saw that he couldn't understand, so he pulled him to the side and sat down, poured him a bowl of tea and brought it to him.

"You take a sip of tea first, and after drinking the tea, you explain the matter to me, what does it mean that he was indeed an orphan originally, and then a father appeared? Why did you go to Liaoguo to find your father?

What the hell is going on, you are truthfully invited, or else...... I'll send you back to Kaifeng tonight!" ”

Yang Lotian seemed to be really thirsty, and drank the tea in the bowl in one gulp, and when he heard the master say that he was going to send him back to Kaifeng, he hurriedly argued, "Master, don't send me back, I finally got some news from my father!" ”

Yang Huairen saw that there was a way to scare like this, otherwise he would have relied on the slimy nature of kicking a fart with three legs, and he didn't know when the ink would arrive.

Yang Huairen hurriedly poured him another bowl, "You tell me carefully." ”

Yang Lotian cleared his throat, "Actually, the apprentice didn't want to hide from the master, but the master has been busy with big things recently, and the apprentice was afraid of disturbing the master, so he didn't say anything."

When I first met Master two years ago, I really didn't know that my father was still alive. I remember when I was a kid when I was just remembering, my father left home and never came back.

My mother raised me alone, but when I was just able to work and make money, my mother left, and when I left, she repeatedly told me not to blame my father.

I didn't have a deep impression of my father at that time, I couldn't even remember his appearance, only a vague back when he left home.

My mother doesn't let me blame him, but how can I do it? Shouldn't he be blamed for abandoning his wife and leaving alone, failing to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father?

As soon as he left, he never came back, and the people in his hometown Zhuangzi guessed that he might have become a soldier and died outside.

And I didn't feel so sad when I heard it, but I thought that I had never had such a father. Later, I begged for food and went to Tokyo City, and then I went to the original building to work as a cook, and then I met Master.

After the year, Suiyuan began to open, and by coincidence, I met a distant cousin who came to the capital to beg for a living, by the way, Master, do you remember the shopkeeper Qin who opened a bookstore on Zhuangyuan Street? ”

Yang Huairen nodded, Shopkeeper Qin is an old customer who has been taking care of their business since he took over Suiyuan, doing a business of printing and selling books on Zhuangyuan Street, and his family has some money.

Yang Lotian continued, "It was this Qin shopkeeper, who saw that my cousin was nimble, so he hired him to serve as a carry......
