An old boatman killed the Taiping King of Khitan, and in order to ensure that he was killed, the old boatman poked him ten times between his chest and abdomen, and was stunned to pierce it into a sieve.

Because of this, the old boatman also missed the opportunity to escape, or he didn't think about escaping at all, and when the Khitans used fishing nets to salvage the body, they found that the old boatman had two arrows stuck in his back, almost penetrating his chest, and his hands were tightly wrapped around the neck of the Taiping King, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

They died together, and several Khitan soldiers tried hard to break the old man's arm, but failed, and their thin and shriveled arms, like iron tendons, held the body of the Taiping King.

If you insist on breaking it, it will only damage the body of the prince, and the people below don't have the guts.

Xiao Siwen came, and when he saw his son-in-law's body, he was stunned.

In order to make the family prosperous, he carefully prepared the marriage and married the eldest daughter to the emperor's younger brother...... Unfortunately, his wish was fulfilled and his daughter became a widow.

What scared him even more was that King Taiping was dead, how could he explain to the emperor!

It seems that his head is going to be saved!

Xiao Siwen was particularly furious.

He asked people to prepare a saw, carefully cut off the old man's arm, and after spending a quarter of an hour, finally separated the body, and the pierced chest of the Taiping King appeared in front of everyone, shocking, Xiao Siwen almost fell.

"Rub him for me and scatter ashes, chop him up to avenge the prince!"

The fierce Khitan soldiers pounced on it and cut the old man's body into pieces...... Xiao Siwen was like an angry beast, and inadvertently, he glanced at the old man's head.

It was a dark face full of vicissitudes, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, as if mocking...... I'm just an old boatman, but I killed your Khitan officials, and several people drowned in the river together, Lao Tzu is enough!

Since the founding of the Khitan, nothing like this has happened!

Xiao Siwen felt a chill.

He was scared.

But the more scared you are, the more crazy you get!

"Pass my orders, arrest everyone around, and leave no one behind!"

He didn't believe that anyone dared to assassinate a prince casually, he guessed that someone must have instructed him to find out, even if he couldn't find it, he would kill people, kill enough people, until he felt that he could repay the life of the Taiping King!

A prince will be compensated with at least the lives of thousands of people!

The Khitan soldiers went down to arrest people, and the surrounding villages and towns were devastated, this is a catastrophe, no one can escape...... Li Yueyin is a poet.

About 20 years ago, when he was still young, he also thought about serving the imperial court with his knowledge, participating in the imperial examination, winning the Toad Palace, and embarking on a career in official affairs and governing the country and the world...... It's a pity that before he could enter Beijing to take the exam, the land of Yanyun fell into the hands of the Khitans.

He also became a subject of Khitan rule!

Li Yueyin thought about it for three whole days, he couldn't abandon his elders and go south, nor could he participate in the Khitan imperial examination and become an official for the barbarians...... In this life, he can't be a Qingtian lord who asks for the people's life, so he retreats to the next best thing and becomes Tao Yuanming.

He planted beans on the hillsides, wheat in the fields, and went fishing by the river.

In exchange for a little money, I bought a jar of bad wine, and sang and sang, drunk for one night, and happy for one night. If there is anything to worry about, I will talk about it tomorrow.

Li Yueyin knew that he was escaping, but he had no other way, and being old in Quanlin was the best result.

In the past few years, his parents have died one after another, his wife died in childbirth, and his brother can't stand the poverty, so he runs out to do business, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

The originally prosperous small family was defeated, and only he and his eldest son were left to depend on each other.

Gradually, Li Yueyin didn't go out anymore, the door of his house was always closed, no outsiders were allowed to come, and he wouldn't go out easily. Li Yueyin devoted himself to planting all kinds of flowers and plants at home, such as Yueji, chrysanthemums, pomegranates, jujube trees, and persimmon trees...... The dense turns, the small courtyard is almost full.

Looking at the flowers and trees in his eyes, Li Yueyin was wearing shabby clothes, and he was also willing, it was not that he didn't want to go out, but he didn't have clothes that he could wear to meet people!

He only had more than a hundred books left, and a stack of poetry manuscripts, and he didn't know which cold winter, so he burned them to keep warm, and he had a hundred......

There is only one old man who can usually enter the gate of the Li family.

He was a boatman, the old man had worked hard all his life, he had two sons, and in the early years the old man saved a veterinarian, and the veterinarian asked the old man's two sons to be apprentices to him.

Ten years have passed, my son has learned, he is famous, and veterinarians are very profitable.

The old man's life is getting better and better, and he also planted a lot of flowers and plants at home, but unfortunately he is not fine, so he can only consult Li Yueyin. After going back and forth, the two turned out to be friends.

The old man would talk to Li Yueyin about his ferrying to earn money, with hard work, and raising his son, and said that his son had a chance, and he would die without regrets in his life.

Li Yueyin will also talk to the old man about history and poetry, but the old man can't understand it at all, but it doesn't prevent him from closing his eyes, nodding slightly, and looking like he is enjoying it.

The only common topic between these two people is planting flowers, and they can talk for most of the day.

When he was happy, Li Yueyin took out his self-brewed fruit wine - he couldn't afford to buy bad wine anymore, so he drank it with the old man.

Life is like this, living in poverty and coldness...... Suddenly, one day, the old man found Li Yueyin, his expression was very strange, the old man took out two golden beans and stuffed them in Li Yueyin.

"It's an old man asking you for something, and you'll know it later!"

After speaking, the old man turned around and left, Li Yue was stunned, he didn't know what was going on, how could he collect gold?

He chased down the old man's house, but found that the old man had left, all the flowers and plants had been shoveled, and the small courtyard was in a mess...... Li Yueyin was full of questions, he knocked on the door of the neighbor's house that he had never disturbed, and asked the old man about it.

Finally, someone told him that the two sons of the old man had been conscripted into the army to treat war horses for the Khitan nobles. Not long ago, a nobleman's war horse died, and the two brothers were not saved, and the angry Khitan nobleman threw them into a cage and let the tiger devour the brothers.

Including the granddaughter of the old man, who was only 8 years old, did not survive and fed the hounds.

When he heard the news, the old man went completely crazy.

He has suffered all his life, he has been tired all his life, and he lives for the sake of his descendants, but the Khitans killed his son and killed his granddaughter!

The old man couldn't understand why a war horse was worth more than the lives of his entire family!

Doctors can't cure all diseases, let alone veterinarians, if they can't save them, they should die, what is the reason?

The old man decided that he wanted revenge, even if he could kill a Khitan. He gave Li Yueyin the golden beans that his son gave him, hoping that Li Yueyin could help him collect the body and put it in the ground.

This is the only luxury that the old man can hope for.

Li Yueyin, who knew the old man's plan, didn't sleep all night, he suddenly felt very pitiful, like a boneless reptile, he had read books, but he was willing to die in the palm-sized world.

An old man who has rowed a boat all his life, but dares to get up and go.

He went to take revenge, just like Jing Ke assassinated Qin!

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!

"Brother, I can't compare to you in my life!"

Li Yueyin found the cleanest clothes, bathed, lit the herbs he had grown, and he was ready to go out to find the body of his old friend, no matter what the cost, he had to fulfill his last wish for the old man...... But just when Li Yueyin was about to go out, the Khitan soldiers came, and they captured the entire village, and none of them fell, and they all pushed them to the river.

There is a tall mourning hall by the river, where the body of the Taiping King is displayed, and on the bamboo pole, the head of the old man hangs, and his body has been chopped up!

Li Yueyin recognized his old friend at a glance.

His eyes widened suddenly, and then he laughed out loud.

Laughed out of tears!

Old friend, you took revenge, you killed the prince of Khitan, did you hear that?

O prince of Khitan! You're worth dying!

It's a pity that I'm afraid I won't be able to collect your body, but it doesn't matter, I'll accompany you under the Nine Springs!

Li Yueyin hugged his son's head, and he whispered in his ear: "Don't embarrass your uncle, we can't live, but we can choose to die with dignity!" Do you understand? ”

The boy nodded, and his grip on his father's hand tightened.

The whole village was pushed to the river and told them to kneel, Li Yue stood but did not kneel, and the Khitans hit him with fists and feet, making a banging sound.

Li Yueyin gritted his teeth and endured it silently, he protected his son's head, and the father and son sat facing south.

Li Yueyin pointed to the south of the Baigou River with his hand.

"That's the Central Plains, we are the descendants of the Li family in Longxi, you know? Our ancestors and the Tang Emperor are the same ancestor, we can't embarrass our ancestors! It's all because my father has no bones and is reluctant to live a comfortable life. How nice it would be if Father took you home! ”

The son's arm grabbed his father's arm hard, trying to keep his face from tears.

"Slash!"

The angry Xiao Siwen gave the order, the Khitans raised the butcher's knife, and the entire village was dying.

Li Yueyin closed his eyes, and a tear flowed down the corner of his eye...... At this moment, in the downstream direction of the Baigou River, a white sail appeared, and the sailor of the Great Zhou arrived!
