Chapter 31: Lost Experience

Not to mention that he didn't hide Heifeng Seeing that the Empress Dowager Liang was taken down, he knew that the catastrophe was coming, and quietly left the Liao envoy camp, thinking that now he could only survive by defecting to the Liao State, but he could not leave empty-handed, and it was better to present these Song army prisoners to the Liao Emperor as a gift.

He immediately led his more than 200 men to flee back to Moon Mountain, and then took the Song army captives and went straight to the Liao State. In less than half a day, he entered the territory of Liao, and when he learned that the emperor of Liao was hunting in the nearby Jiashan, he had an idea and decided to go to the court.

Seeing Emperor Tianzuo kneeling down and saying: "Emperor Shengming of Daliao, the minister is a general of the Xia State who does not hide the black wind, and the Empress Dowager Liang is dictatorial and persecuts Zhongliang, and the minister specially came to take refuge and beg the emperor for protection." ”

Emperor Tianzuo was very happy to hear this, and said: "I hate this old woman Empress Dowager Liang, and she even blames me for not sending troops to attack the Song Dynasty, it is really bold, if you take refuge in my Daliao, I will protect you, and you will live in this Jiashan Mountain in the future to help me guard this hunting ground." ”

He didn't hide the black wind and immediately said: "The minister brought a group of Song army prisoners to the emperor. ”

Emperor Tianzuo said: "Okay, my Great Liao is powerful all over the world, you bring the captives up and I will take a look." ”

He took Yang Huaide and more than 20 Song army captives up and said, "Your Majesty, there is a Song army general here with tattoos on his arm with a bull's head and a horse's head. ”

Emperor Tianzuo said, "There is still such a thing? ”

Didn't hide the black wind and pulled down Yang Huaide's shirt, Yang Huaide held his head high, and Emperor Tianzuo stepped forward to look at it and was surprised, and asked, "Are you from the Jin family?" ”

Yang Huaide said: "I am a Han of the Great Song Dynasty, not Hulu, you can kill if you want to." ”

Emperor Tianzuo said: "It seems that you have a lot of backbone, I like such people, I won't let you die." ”

He instructed: "Take these captives to Xijing Datong Mansion for disposal, and let the King of Jin see if this person is from his family." ”

More than 50 Liao cavalry escorted the Song army prisoners to Datong, and these Liao cavalry didn't take them seriously at all, didn't put on any ropes, and just didn't let them eat enough.

In the afternoon of the next day, when the team walked outside Yanmen Pass, Yang Huaide coughed and hinted to Song Jun next to him that everyone should prepare to escape.

When he was closest to Yanmen Pass, Yang Huaide shouted: "Yanmen Pass has arrived, everyone run!" ”

Everyone followed him with the last strength to run to the Yanmen Pass, and Yang Huaide shouted to the defenders of the city: "Open the city gate quickly and let us enter the pass, we are the captured Song army." ”

The defenders of the city immediately called Li Siben, the guard of Yanmen Pass, and Li Siben saw a group of people under the city in ragged clothes and pale faces, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Yang Huaide shouted: "I am Yang Huaide, the general of the Western Army, from Yanmen Village, Daizhou, we were captured here, let us in, the Liao soldiers are chasing us!" ”

Li Siben saw that a group of Liao cavalry was slowly approaching not far away, and felt that the matter was serious, and said: "I can't let you in, otherwise the Liao State will find an excuse to attack my Great Song Dynasty and provoke a border provocation, I can't afford it, you leave here immediately!" ”

With a wave of his hand, his bow and arrow were aimed at these Song soldiers under the city, and everyone scolded: "You are afraid of death, beast!" ”

Yang Huaide shouted: "Let's run up the mountain!" ”

When the Liao cavalry saw that they were going up the mountain, they immediately caught up with a burst of arrows, but these warriors who were desperately killing the enemy on the battlefield died at the door of their own homes, and Yang Huaide was hit by an arrow in his arm and hid in the mountains and forests. When the Liao cavalry left, he ran home through the secret passage.

In the evening, when Yang Huaide returned home, Yang Wenshan and his wife saw their son's ragged clothes and his arm still bleeding, and they were distressed and scared.

Yang Huaide was very strong and said: "Dad, mother, I'm fine, there will be casualties in the war, you don't have to worry." ”

The couple bandaged his wounds, brought him new clothes, and served him food. Yang Huaide told them what happened when he left home, and the couple were happy and scared, Yang Huaide said: "I will stay at home for a day and return to Linzhou, and I will tell you the news of Huaixing and Keshi immediately." ”

The next afternoon, Yang Huaide was resting in bed, and heard a noise outside, and someone shouted: "Yang Huaide, come out, there is your official document." ”

Yang Huaide and Yang Wenshan came to the courtyard, and saw that Li Siben led more than 20 people to surround the courtyard, Li Siben read with a document in his hand: "In the first battle of Dashadui, more than 800 people of our army were killed, and the general Wang Yuan committed suicide and martyrdom, Liu Keshi was seriously injured, and Yang Huaixing's whereabouts are unknown. ”

Yang Huaide couldn't believe his ears and said: "Impossible, impossible, I want to go back to Linzhou to make it clear!" ”

Li Siben said: "The court has made a decision, you don't need to quibble anymore." ”

The two soldiers went up to frame Yang Huaide, and Yang Wenshan and his wife were so anxious that they knelt down and said, "My lord, you give him a chance and let him go back to Linzhou to make it clear that he was wronged!" ”

Yang Huaide shook off the two soldiers and said, "I'll go back to Linzhou now, I don't need you to kill me." ”

The two soldiers rushed up to frame Yang Huaide again, Yang Huaide shook them off again, Li Siben made a look, and the other two soldiers held their knives on the necks of Yang Wenshan and his wife.

Li Siben said: "Yang Huaide, you quickly bow down and be punished, don't implicate your parents." ”

Yang Huaide burst into tears, knelt in front of Yang Wenshan and his wife, and cried: "Dad, mother, my son will go first, remember to avenge me!" ”

The two soldiers carried Yang Huaide outside the courtyard, Wang Yue'e fainted, and Yang Wenshan said: "My lord, please, he is really wronged." ”

Li Siben looked indifferent, turned around and came to the outside of the hospital, Yang Huaide knelt on the ground, gritting his teeth, he didn't expect that he died unjustly at the door of the house, what is the reason!

A soldier raised his knife and slashed at Yang Huaide, and at this moment, a white shadow came to him, the soldier was knocked down, and the man picked up Yang Huaide and ran away.

Li Siben couldn't catch up, and said to Yang Wenshan: "Your son will report to the official immediately when he comes back." After saying that, he led the people to withdraw.

Yang Huaide saw that it was Han Xiaoyao who saved him, so he relieved his heart, and felt that he had turned around before the ghost gate closed. Han Xiaoyao stopped behind a mountain bag, and Yang Huaide said: "Xiaoyao, I will be finished without you." ”

It turned out that Han Xiaoyao returned to Liaoguo to inquire all the way, and when he came to Yanmen Pass, he found more than 20 corpses of Song Jun, and there was no Yang Huaide, so he guessed that Yang Huaide must have returned to his hometown in Yanmen Village. He crossed the mountains and mountains to Yang Huaide's house, just in time for this scene.

Han Xiaoyao asked, "What are you going to do now?" ”

Yang Huaide said: "I want to return to Linzhou immediately to make things clear. ”

Han Xiaoyao said: "If you go back now, you will be sent to death, you can't say anything clearly, or wait for a while for the truth of the matter to come out, and then you will go back." ”

Yang Huaide said: "What you say is reasonable, I'll hide for a while." ”

Han Xiaoyao said: "You go to me, no one can find you." ”

Yang Huaide said: "Okay, but I have to go home tonight to say goodbye to my parents and save them from worrying." ”

In the evening, the two quietly returned to Yanmen Village, Han Xiaoyao observed the wind outside the hospital, Yang Huaide knocked on the door gently, and Yang Wenshan and his wife were surprised and happy to see their son come back.

Yang Huaide said: "Dad, mother, I plan to go to a friend's house in Liaoguo to hide for a while, and when the truth of the matter comes out, I will go back to Linzhou to explain the matter clearly." ”

Yang Wenshan said: "That's fine. ”

Yang Wenshan glanced at Wang Yue'e and said, "Huaide, you have grown up, and I have something to tell you, you are not our biological son, but were raised from your master Huiming. ”

Yang Huaide stared, opened his mouth wide, and only after a while did he speak, "I don't believe it!" That's impossible! ”

Yang Wenshan took out a small bag, took out an ivory necklace, handed it to Yang Huaide, and said: "You may have been only two years old at the time, this is an ivory necklace around your neck, and the word 'big stone' is engraved on it, it may be your name." ”

Yang Huaide remembered that Yelu Longyun said that his son's name was Yelu Dashi, Yang Huaide was silent for a while, he didn't want to believe that it was true.

Yang Wenshan said: "You go to your master, he may know your biological parents." ”

Yang Huaide knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, crying: "Dad, mother, I'm leaving, no matter what, I won't forget your kindness!" ”

Wang Yue'e hugged Yang Huaide and cried: "Child, we always treat you as a child born by ourselves, and we can't do without you, you must come back often in the future!" ”

Yang Huaide said: "Dad, mother, I will!" ”

Yang Wenshan said: "Huaide, you go quickly, they have sent someone to monitor us." ”

Yang Wenshan pulled Wang Yue'e away, and Yang Huaide said as he walked: "Dad, mother, I will come back to see you." ”

When he saw Han Xiaoyao, he didn't say anything, and the two lived in a dilapidated house far from the village, and Yang Huaide stayed awake all night.

The next morning, Han Xiaoyao saw Yang Huaide's eyes red from crying, Yang Huaide said: "Xiaoyao, I'm very annoyed, I want to be alone and quiet, I'll go to Wutai Mountain to find my master to do something first, and I'll go to you afterwards." ”

Han Xiaoyao saw that he was preoccupied, and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, you must come to me." The two broke up, and Yang Huaide hurried to Taiping Xingguo Temple.

In the afternoon, Yang Huaide came to Taiping Xingguo Temple and saw Master Huiming in the meditation room, Huiming saw that his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked wronged, sad and confused, and asked, "You must have something to come to Master, you tell me one by one." ”

Yang Huaide told the matter of the Western Army, and Huiming said: "There is justice in the world, don't worry!" ”

He asked, "What is your sorrow and confusion?" ”

Yang Huaide said: "Dad, my mother told me that I was not born to them, I was raised by them from you, is it true?" ”

Huiming clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, there is a cause and there must be an effect. ”

Hui Ming said in a deep tone: "It was a morning fifteen years ago, when I came back from a lecture in the Xia Kingdom, I passed by a forest at the junction of the Song, Liao, and Xia Kingdoms, and saw a team passing by not far away, all dressed as ordinary people. Suddenly, a woman with a child in her arms rode from the group in my direction, but a masked man behind her shot an arrow in the back of the heart, and the woman knew that she was not going to do it, so she slapped her horse and ran towards me, and when I came near, she restrained her horse, and handed me the child with all her might, and said a word to save the child, and then fell off the horse. The masked man also came to me and demanded the child from me, and I saw that there must be a grievance in it, and did not give him the child, so he raised his gun and stabbed him, and when I dodged, I kicked a wooden stick and struck him in the chest, and he almost fell off his horse. At this time, another masked man in black actually shot at me with a bow and three arrows, I jumped up and kicked back an arrow and shot him in the left arm, the two did not dare to approach, I took the child back to Taiping Xingguo Temple, this child is you, you were only about two years old at the time, just able to speak, but I can't tell who your parents are and where they come from. At that time, Yang Wenshan and his wife lived at the foot of the mountain and had not had children for many years, so I took you to them to raise, and later they brought you to Yanmen Village to live together. ”

Yang Huaide linked what Liu Jiqian and Yelu Longyun said, it seems that his life experience is very clear, he is Yelu Dashi, the son of Yelu Longyun, but his mood is even more contradictory, is he not a Han, but a barbaric and ignorant Khitan!

Yang Huaide asked eagerly, "Master, did you investigate my background later?" ”

Huiming said: "There is a place where the three kingdoms meet, there are many pedestrians, and the people you meet can't tell clearly, is your biological father alive or dead?" Are you Hu or Han? Master is not sure, thinking that when you grow up, you will avenge your parents, and seeing that you have loyalty, Master taught you martial arts. ”

Yang Huaide asked, "Master, how about I am Han?" What if I'm a Hu person? ”

Huiming replied: "Amitabha, it is fate that you are a Han or a Hu person, if you are a Han person, you will do something loyal, and if you are a Hu person, you must not bully the Han people." ”

Yang Huaide gave Huiming three snorts, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, I remember your words, and I will repay your kindness!" ”

Huiming picked up Yang Huaide and said, "You can go to the border of the Three Kingdoms to find out the news of your biological father." ”

Yang Huaide said goodbye to his master and walked out of Taiping Xingguo Temple, halfway down the mountain, he saw Liudaozi made on that stone, a pair of fairy wind bones, Liudaozi asked: "Little monk, do you have water to drink?" ”

Yang Huaide took out the water bag and handed it to him, he drank the water and said: "There are two kinds of people in the world, one is a good person, the other is an evil person, and if you do good things, you are a good person, and if you do evil things, you are an evil person. ”

Yang Huaide said: "Thank you, old immortal, for your guidance. ”

Yang Huaide left Wutai Mountain, crossed the secret road, rushed to the Yanmen Pass, the scene in front of him made his heart ache, the corpses of more than 20 Song Jun brothers who followed him were scattered in the suburbs, no one was buried, Yang Huaide buried them at the foot of the mountain with tears, and planted a big branch on it as a mark.

On the afternoon of this day, Yang Huaide finally came to the grassland of Dongshengzhou in Liaoguo, and he slowly walked towards the junction of the three kingdoms, looking for clues that might be left.

He suddenly found a grave pile covered with grass on a high ground, and there was a stone tablet in front of it, which wrote "The Tomb of the Jin Dynasty", and on the other side, it was recorded that a group of gangsters killed more than 50 people of the Khitan and Han families of the Jin Dynasty, which confirmed what Liu Jiqian and Yelu Longyun said, and his mood was still contradictory, but he wanted to be a Han person and did not want to be a Hu person, he ran on the grassland with open arms and shouted loudly.

At night, he fell asleep behind a mound of dirt, and he dreamed that he was a two-year-old child playing hide-and-seek with others, and everyone was hiding, and then he heard shouting, and finally everything fell silent, and no one paid attention to him.

The next morning, he was already in tears, he thought about it, he was going to see his biological parents, he wiped away his tears, and set out on the journey to Shuozhou.
