Duan Sizhen stepped forward to negotiate, those hunters were suspicious, let a raft dock first, the hunters who went ashore immediately stood guard on the shore, seeing that Zhuang Yi and the others were still indifferent, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to call for the brigade to dock.

After a while, more than 100 people crossed the river, they were huddled together on the bank, discussing something in twos and threes, and it took a long time for an old man with gray hair to come out, and he stepped forward to talk to Duan Sizhen, the two didn't know what to say, the old man became excited, happily shook his fat sleeves, and looked at this side from time to time.

Duan Sizhen brought the old man over, Zhuang Yi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, greeted him with a smile, bowed his hand, and said: "We are merchants from Youzhou, and we finally met hunters, and we wanted them to lead the way, so we injured a few people, and I hope that the old man is not strange, so we will let them go, and it will be easy to heal the injuries." ”

"This descendant, you are from Youzhou, this is true...... There are so many people, all of them are strong and fierce offspring, whether they are businessmen or not, the old man can see it! Don't tell lies. "The old man was about fifty or sixty years of age, and wore a short jacket with a collar, and a half-length leather robe. The thin man carried an old short gun in his hand, tilted his head and looked like he was smiling.

"Aha! My husband has good eyesight, since you can see it, I can't deceive the elderly! Zhuang Yi paused, said with a smile, and turned his head to let the hunters go. He bowed to the old man and said, "Old man! Please...... How about we take a step to speak? ”

"It's good! The old man also wants to hear your intentions, and there are no valuable objects in a certain broken village. The old man said sarcastically.

"The boy's surname is Zhuang, a single name is a Yi character, dare to ask your old noble surname, how many years have you lived in this White Wolf Mountain?" Zhuang Yi asked politely.

"It turned out to be Zhuang Xiaolang! The old man's surname is Song, and he has lived in this white wolf mountain with his father for two generations, but it is not peaceful here, there are often horse thieves to harass, and the Khitans occasionally come to make trouble, Zhuang Xiaolang, if you have nothing else to do, go back! The old man surnamed Song said.

"So, old Song, you moved from Qianyingzhou, I don't know how many people are in your village?" Zhuang Yi broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"What does Zhuang Xiaolang want?" The old man surnamed Song rolled his eyelids, his face suddenly tightened with wrinkles, and he asked very unhappily.

"Don't dare to deceive Song Lao, boy, I was originally the tooth soldier of Li Yuanjun in Youzhou, and later Li Yuanjun was killed, and the kid fled to Lulongsai and fell into the grass. Every time I think about it, this is not a long-term solution, it is because of this trip, just to explore the situation in Yingzhou, Liaodong, to see if I can find a place to stay, and from now on, anyway, not to be the thief who was scolded and shamed by the ancestors. Zhuang Yi told the truth.

"Oh...... That's it! To put it this way...... Does Zhuang Xiaolang want to collect Yingzhou? Song Lao asked with a surprised expression.

"Exactly...... I don't know what the situation is in Yingzhou now? The kid also knew that it was occupied by the Bohai State, so he just wanted to know about the situation of their garrison, as well as the distribution of the Khitans' forces, so that it would be foolproof. ”

"Zhuang Xiaolang is so young, can you do it? I really want to recover Yingzhou...... The seat of Yingzhou is in Liucheng, which is very far away, how many people do you have? Can it be knocked down? Song Lao had a suspicious look on his face, and when he saw Zhuang Yi so young, he naturally couldn't believe it.

"Don't hide it from Elder Song, we only have a few hundred people for the time being, and we still need some time to prepare, and we also need to negotiate in Youzhou. So ......"

"This is a good feeling...... If Youzhou is willing to send troops to help, then a big thing can be done! Seeing that you are also a person who knows books and etiquette in your later life, it is commendable that you still know the truth of being a person. Look at those men who are fighting, can you restrain yourself at a young age? Song Lao instinctively thought of Lu Longjun in Youzhou, obviously misunderstood, his attitude immediately changed, grinning with a mouth with missing front teeth, and the wrinkles on his face completely bloomed.

"Okay...... Although few of these people are good birds, and that guy's name is Shagu, he is still a mocking person, but they dare not listen to what the kid says. When Zhuang Yi heard this, he was overjoyed, knowing that this was half the story, and said confidently at the moment.

"In this case, it is not a way to stay in this barren mountain and wilderness, and the old man sees that you don't look like a cruel and unrighteous person in your later life, so you can go to the old man's broken village for some time. It's just that there is not enough grain and grass in the village, so you have to figure it out by yourself. ”

"So thank you Song Lao Gaoyi......" Zhuang Yi thanked him.

"It's okay...... The old man went to inform them, Zhuang Xiaolang went to prepare! Song Lao returned the salute and turned around and walked back.

The sun had set over the mountains, and the sky was beginning to darken.

The brigade crossed the river on sheepskin rafts, and crossed a mountain ridge in the northeast direction, and sure enough, they saw a ruined stockade, located in a depression in the mountains, and the terrain in front of it was lower, and a high stone wall was built, and the stone wall was covered with vines, which seemed to be some years old. There are battlements and watchtowers on the top of the wall, which looks like a military fortress. The mountain road into the village is very narrow, allowing only two people to walk side by side, all the way to the west gate of the village.

"This is a good place, it used to be a military village, called the White Wolf Fortress, about eight miles long, four miles wide, divided into two villages before and after. It is said that when I went to conquer Goryeo in the year of Taizong and Gaozong, there were partial divisions stationed in this grain, because the river on the other side of this mountain is a tributary of the White Wolf Water, and it can go directly to Yingzhou along the White Wolf Water to the northeast, which is a little far. If Zhuang Xiaolang wants to recover Yingzhou, he has found the right place here. Song Lao said as he walked, pointing to this landscape, very proud.

"It turned out to be a military city, so that's even better! It's no wonder you're still surviving here, but why don't you move back to Kannai? Zhuang Yi asked casually.

"Alas...... It's hard to leave your homeland! This is the land and family inheritance passed down from the ancestors, how can you see a different thought? Your baby has a good heart, and you still want to recover the old land outside the pass, but I'm afraid it's not easy. There are not many people left in this village, and there are not many young people left, so I am afraid that it will not be able to help Zhuang Xiaolang's big things. Song Lao obviously saw Zhuang Yi's thoughts, and said worriedly.

"But please rest assured that Song Lao is here to explore the way, and when the time is ripe, there will be a large army coming, and Song Lao will send a few young people as guides when he arrives." Zhuang Yi hurriedly comforted.

"That's good...... I really can't bear to have a mistake in these young descendants. I think that back then, when my father brought a certain from Yingzhou, there were thousands of people in this village, and later in order to resist the thieves from the north of the mountain, there were many casualties. ”

"Thief? Is it a Khitan? ”

"The Khitans, the Xi, the Bohai, and the Silla...... There are all kinds of people, and they all come and grab them, but there are also refugees from the Guannai, and there are fewer of them in these years, and the merchants have not come once in a few years, and the life in the mountains is bitter. Zhuang Xiaolang! What goods did you bring this time, and I changed everything. ”

"Nonsense...... We never rob other people's things, you must be mistaken. As soon as Sha Gu heard this, he immediately rushed up from behind and stared at the bull's eye, which startled Song Lao.

"Shagu! It's not about you, what are you talking about, go to the back and take care of the goods. Zhuang Yi scolded. Sha Gu had to retreat to the side.

Zhuang Yi turned his head again and said to Song Lao: "Song Lao is talking about this, some goods are just some goods, mainly salt and cloth, to make a gift for you, this time the path is not familiar, next time we can bring more." When I get back, you can see what you need and write me a list. Zhuang Yi said generously.

"Thank you, little old man! Zhuang Xiaolang followed a certain into the village! Although it is a cold place, it is also necessary to do the friendship of the landlord. ”

"Mrs. Song is polite, please ...... first"

When I arrived at the gate of Dezhai, it was almost dark. The villagers guarding the door saw that many people had come and refused to open the door for a long time, so Song Lao stepped forward to explain. Entering the village, the villagers who heard the news poured out one after another, with hope in their eyes and vegetables on their faces, standing on the side of the road in front of the house and watching curiously.

The villagers who followed him led Duan Sizhen and An Huaixin to unload the goods, feed the horses, and settle everyone's residences, while Song Lao led Zhuang Yi to his residence to talk.

The two walked slowly all the way, passing through the front village, Zhuang Yi carefully paid attention to the situation in the village, the houses were scattered in rows, mostly based on mountain stones, black soil inferior house walls, and thatched roofs. Occasionally, a woman gathered up the dried meat and hides hanging from the basket in front of the house. The children were in groups of three or five, playing tirelessly in front of the house until they were pulled home by the ears of A-Niang.

There are villagers who have returned from labor holding ploughing cattle and carrying farm tools, seeing Zhuang Yi and the others coming, they hurriedly let go to the side of the road, smiled honestly, and saluted Song Lao humbly, seeing Zhuang Yi's fresh face, his eyes were full of doubts and vigilance.

"This is Zhuang Xiaolang from Youzhou in Guannei, not an outsider......" Song Lao had to explain it again to avoid any misunderstanding.
