The next day, the three of them came to Shuozhou City with Han Xiaoyao, where there were also many Hu people who did business and lived here, and the four of them walked around the city for a day without finding any trace of Zoroastrianism.

In the evening, the four of them returned to Qiling Temple, drinking tea and chatting in the backyard, Yang Huaixing asked curiously: "Xiaoyao, why is this temple not dedicated to the Buddha?" ”

Han Xiaoyao said with a smile: "This temple is my family temple, the Buddha is the god of the West, I am afraid that the water and soil are not adaptable, and my Han people still worship the God of Wealth and Guan Gong." Everyone laughed.

Let's say that an old man swept the ground in front of the gate of the Qiling Temple, and there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and more than a dozen people came to the old man, and the big fat man led by him shouted: "Old man, has your son-in-law prepared the goods?" ”

The old man replied, "The goods are in the courtyard, come with me." ”

One of them whispered to the big fat man: "Boss, this kid didn't promise to give us goods a few days ago, and now he is so refreshing, be careful of fraud." ”

The big fat man smiled: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything!" ”

Everyone followed the old man into the courtyard, and with a "bang", the door was immediately closed from the outside.

At this time, a gong sounded, and more than 20 people appeared on the wall and roof, and these people threw stones down together, and the big fat man and others were beaten and screamed.

The noise in the front yard spread to the backyard, Han Xiaoyao stood up, flicked the fan, and said, "They are here, everyone follow me to the main hall." ”

As soon as I arrived at the Moon Gate, I heard someone scolding: "Han Xiaoyao, you despicable villain, you actually use such obscene means, hurry up and get out of here." ”

When everyone came to the front of the main hall, they saw more than a dozen people holding various weapons in their hands, some touching their heads, some holding their waists, and shouting: "Oh, it hurts!" ”

Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing immediately recognized that the big fat man was the Hu Shahu who had robbed Longmu back then. He still had a meaty face, two bulging bullish eyes, a Capricorn earring in his left ear, and an iron rod in his hand.

Hu Shahu saw Han Xiaoyao come out and scolded: "You stinky boy don't come out again, Lao Tzu demolished your family temple." ”

Han Xiaoyao shook his fan and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, there have been a lot of thieves recently, and they often come to steal, my guys must treat you as thieves, how offended." ”

Han Xiaoyao's guys secretly laughed straight, Hu Shahu couldn't tell him, and said angrily: "Hurry up and hand over the goods, I won't bother with you." ”

Yang Huaide saw that Hu Shahu was still so domineering, and said: "Hu Shahu, you robber, you buy and sell everywhere, I want to teach you a lesson today." ”

A few years have passed, Hu Shahu has no impression of Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing, and said contemptuously: "Stinky boy, who are you?" ”

Yang Huaide replied: "I am the apprentice of Master Huiming of Taiping Xingguo Temple---- Yang Huaide, you should know how powerful my master is!" If you can beat me, you take the goods away, if you can't beat me, don't come to trouble in the future! ”

Hu Shahu remembered Huiming's stick and said: "You kid dare to say such a big thing after learning a few martial arts, okay, just do what you say." ”

The two came to the middle of the courtyard, Yang Huaide turned the gun into a stick, Hu Shahu first made an oblique split, Yang Huaide dodged, and then an oblique split, Yang Huaide raised the stick to touch, and the sound of "dang" shocked Yang Huaide's hands numb.

Hu Shahu said: "If you can catch me, you will have strength." ”

Yang Huaide saw that he would suffer a loss if he worked hard, so he resorted to a trick of "wolves and tigers", stepping on the gossip inside, circling him, sweeping in the east, splitting vertically in the south, picking up in the west, poking in the north, Hu Shahu was dizzy and only had the potential to parry.

Yang Huaide went around to his left side, flew up and kicked on his left shoulder, Yang Huaide was already merciful, only to see Hu Shahu staggering forward a few steps, hugging a big tree, just like a bear climbing a tree, everyone laughed.

Hu Shahu's face was flushed, and he said to Yang Huaide: "Count you kid powerful, let's go." "I left with my men in a gray way.

Everyone shouted, and Han Xiaoyao said, "Brother Huaide, thank you for driving away Hu Shahu." ”

Yang Huaide said: "This person just wants to teach a lesson, it's too domineering." ”

Han Xiaoyao asked, "Brother Huaide, what kind of martial arts do you use?" ”

Yang Huaide said: "This is my ancestral Wulang gossip stick. ”

Han Xiaoyao said: "I have heard of Wulang's gossip stick for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation. Everyone also praised Yang Huaide's martial arts and strength, and he was really a young hero.

Yang Huaixing said: "This time I taught Hu Shahu a lesson, and he will not dare to come again." ”

Han Xiaoyao tapped his left palm with a folding fan and said: "This person is a scoundrel and has a mysterious whereabouts, I plan to set off early tomorrow morning to send this batch of goods to Xijing Datong Mansion, just in case, it is estimated that I will return the day after tomorrow." ”

At noon the next day, Yang Huaide and the three of them had just had lunch, and a young man ran in and said: "Three sons, we have a fortune inn in Shuozhou City, and a guy reports that a group of suspicious people have been living for two days, they wear a white cloth belt around their waists, and the leader is a person with curly hair, high nose and deep eyes. ”

Yang Huaide said: "It's these people, this brother hurry up and take us there." ”

About half an hour, the three of them rushed to the Fortune Inn, and the boss said: "One person is still in the guest room on the second floor, and the others have left an hour ago." ”

Yang Huaide said eagerly: "Please ask Uncle to take us up." ”

When they arrived on the second floor, the boss knocked on the door and said, "Guest officer, someone is looking for you." ”

Someone in the room replied, "Come, who!" ”

As soon as the door opened, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing immediately recognized this person as Gou Liuzi, and Gou Liuzi also recognized the two of them, so they ran to the back window, pushed open the window and jumped down, and the three of them also jumped down.

The three of them chased the dog Liuzi, the pedestrians on the road dodged away, the dog Liuzi drilled into the alley, turned left and turned right and disappeared, the three of them saw the red tile high wall in front of them, and it was a big family at a glance, this is the backyard, and the gate was closed.

Liu Keshi said: "He must have entered this courtyard." ”

When Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing were still hesitating, Liu Keshi had already climbed over the wall and entered, and the two followed and jumped into the courtyard.

It was a garden, with grass and flowers, and weeping willows swaying, and in the center sat three tents, and the three of them, puzzled, walked lightly to the tents, and opened one tent curtain and rushed in, although there were all kinds of everyday things in it, but it was empty, and the other two tents were also.

The three of them entered the courtyard next to it, and the dog Liuzi was sitting on the stone bench drinking water, and the dog Liuzi was taken aback, and when he saw that he could not escape, he shouted loudly: "Someone, there is a thief, come and catch the thief!" ”

As soon as the words fell, five Khitans rushed into the courtyard with sticks in hand and surrounded the three people, who were not the opponents of the three at all.

At this time, a middle-aged Khitan man with a beard and hair came to the courtyard, this person's eyes were blazing, a wisp of goatee was bright and bright, seeing the three of them fighting more and more fiercely, whispering a few words to a person next to him, for a while, the middle-aged man whistled, all the Khitan people retreated, a big net fell from the sky, covering the three of them, the more the three struggled the net tighter, and finally was captured alive.

Someone took out the map of Yanyun's sixteen states from Yang Huaide's arms and handed it to the middle-aged Khitan, who sat on the stone bench with a goatee in his hand, and was a little surprised when he saw the map.

The middle-aged Khitan said: "This is the palace of Yelu Longyun, the king of Jin, I am the chief Yelu Zhongde, you don't look like thieves, what is the matter with breaking into the palace?" ”

Yang Huaide said: "There is a man named Dog Liuzi who is a Zoroastrist, and he deceived my sister away, and we have been chasing here. ”

Jerod said in a skeptical tone, "Really? I see you're panicking, you are spies sent by the Song Kingdom! ”

He slammed the map down the stone table and said, "Here's the evidence." ”

Liu Keshi was very angry and said: "We are the people of the Song Kingdom, you Khitan dogs ran to Daizhou to rob the children, we are tracking here to save people, you quickly release us and those children, otherwise, our Song officers and soldiers will lose their lives as soon as they arrive." ”

Seeing that the faces of the three of them were not pale, Yelu Zhongde said: "Since you don't confess, I will send you to the government and let them torture you to see if you say anything." ”

He said to the people next to him, "Come on, take them down." ”

After the three of them were taken down, Yelu Zhongde looked serious and said to Dog Liuzi: "Dog Liuzi, are what they said true? ”

Gou Liuzi walked up to the front and quibbled: "Chief, I believed in Zoroastrianism half a year ago, but I have never done anything to cheat children, nor have I ever been to the Song Kingdom, they are spies sent by the Song Kingdom, this is an excuse they made up." ”

Jerod said to the man next to him, "Come on, go and search his room." ”

He said to Gou Liuzi again: "Gou Liuzi, you have been in the mansion for more than a year, and the master is doing things above board, and he doesn't want his people to do illegal things." ”

Dog Liuzi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes!" ”

At this time, the searcher came back and handed a small cloth bag to Yelu Zhongde, who opened the cloth bag and poured out more than 20 taels of silver, and said loudly: "Dog Liuzi, where did you get so many taels of silver?" Don't be honest yet! ”

Gou Liuzi still quibbled: "This money is earned by me in business." ”

Yelu Zhongde glared at him angrily and said to the person next to him, "Come on, pull down and hit the twenty boards." ”

Dog Liuzi was frightened and said, "I said, I said." ”

Gou Liuzi explained everything, and then said: "They said that doing things in the help and teaching can improve merit, and this money is the reward they gave me. Jerod nodded and told him to go down.

Let's say that Yang Huaide and the three of them were locked in a wooden house, and their feet were chained. The weather was hot and humid, Yang Huaide took off his shirt and sat on the haystack.

Yang Huaixing said: "I heard that when the Khitans caught the Han people, they sent them to a desolate place as slaves, and they never wanted to escape back for the rest of their lives. ”

Liu Keshi walked around the house and said, "We must find a way to escape." These Khitans are all barbarians, and there is no place to be reasonable. ”

Yang Huaide was distraught and shouted outside the door: "We are thirsty, give us water to drink." ”

The guard outside the house replied, "Wait a minute. ”

After a while, an old Khitan man walked in with a kettle and a bowl, and the three of them drank water with a bowl, and the old man suddenly said "ah", pointed to the tattoo on Yang Huaide's upper arm, and asked with a surprised face: "Young man, why do you have a bull's head on your left arm and a horse's head on your right arm?" ”

Yang Huaide saw that the old man had no malicious intentions, and replied: "It is used to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters." ”

The old man said in a loud voice, "Impossible, impossible. ”

The old man seemed to remember something, and left without taking the kettle, Yang Huaide felt inexplicable. After a while, the old man walked in with two Khitans and said to Yang Huaide: "Young man, our chief manager has something important to ask you, please go and ask you to go." ”

Yang Huaide put on his shirt and followed the old man to a living room. Yelu Zhongde immediately stepped forward, carefully examined Yang Huaide's face, and said in surprise: "Like, like!" He ordered someone to remove Yang Huaide's anklets, let Yang Huaide sit down, and the servants poured tea.

Yelu Zhongde said: "Young man, your sister is not in the palace, I have sent someone to track down her whereabouts, and there will be news soon, but you have to answer me a few questions." ”

Yang Huaide saw that he was a little sincere, and said, "As long as you can help me find my sister, you can say hello casually." ”

Yelu Zhongde smiled and nodded, "What do you and the other two people call them?" Where did it come from? ”

Yang Huaide replied: "My name is Yang Huaide, the one who makes the gun is my brother Yang Huaixing, and the one who makes the knife is my good friend Liu Keshi, we are all from Daizhou in the Song Kingdom." ”

Jerod asked, "Do you know where you came from?" ”

Yang Huaide was stunned for a moment and replied: "I have lived with my parents since I was a child, and I studied art with Master Huiming of Taiping Xingguo Temple in Wutai Mountain. ”

Jerod asked eagerly, "Do you have a bull's head and a horse's head tattooed on your arm?" ”

Yang Huaide replied, "Yes." ”

Jerod said, "Do the rest of your family have this kind of tattoo?" ”

Yang Huaide shook his head.

Yelu Zhongde said: "As far as I know, this kind of tattoo is only available to people from my family's royal family, more than ten years ago, my prince has a son missing, if he grows up to now, he should be the same age as you, your appearance is very similar to my prince, I guess you may be the missing son of my prince!"

Yang Huaide was a little unhappy, and immediately said: "Impossible, I'm Han, I'm not a Hu person!" My parents are both from Daizhou, how can it be! ”

Jerod said, "Don't you think your tattoo is unique? ”

Yang Huaide said: "My parents said that I had a serious illness when I was born, so I stabbed the head of a cow and a horse to ward off evil spirits. ”

Yelu Zhongde saw that Yang Huaide was disgusted and didn't ask any more, and said, "You just stay here for a few more days, and I will definitely help you find your sister." ”

In fact, Yelu Zhongde wanted to keep Yang Huaide and let Yelu Longyun rush back to see him.

The two chatted a few more words, and Yelu Zhongde asked Yang Huaide to take him down, and the three of them were still locked up in the wooden house.

After Yang Huaide returned to the wooden house, Liu Keshi hurriedly asked, "Huaide, what did they tell you to do?" Did it hit you? ”

Yang Huaide replied: "They believe that what we say is true and will help us find Xiu'er's whereabouts." ”

Yang Huaixing said: "Since you believe in us, why are you keeping us here?" With that, he kicked the anklet.

Liu Keshi said: "Are Hu people Hu people!" Fail to keep the faith! ”

Yang Huaide said: "It's strange to say, the housekeeper said that I was like the son of his prince who had been missing for many years, and the tattoo on my arm was proof." ”

Liu Keshi said: "You really don't look like an uncle or an aunt. ”

Yang Huaide said: "Don't talk nonsense, your appearance will change." ”

Liu Keshi said: "I have an idea, you pretend to be the missing son of the prince of his family, so that she will really help us find Xiu'er." ”

Yang Huaide said: "It's not good to do this! ”

Liu Keshi said angrily: "In order to save Xiu'er, what if you are allowed to act in a scene?" ”

Yang Huaide was speechless
