Dong Xian, a native of Luoyang Yanshi. Dong's father was originally a warrior of the border army and was injured on the battlefield. Returned to his hometown and farmed for a large family. Everyone called him Dong Cripple. Later, he married a woman who fled the famine, which was Dong Xian's mother. When Dong Xian was seven years old, his mother died of hemoptysis. Leaving Dong Cripple alone, he worked hard to pull Dong Xian to the age of thirteen, and also let go.

Dong Xian will always remember the scene when he knelt in front of the door of a large family to borrow money. He only wanted to borrow twenty taels of silver to treat his father's illness, but he only got a ridicule. He was willing to sell himself as a slave and be a cow and a horse for a large family for the rest of his life, only asking the big family to lend him twenty taels of silver. But the family members of the big family did not let him enter the courtyard gate at all, saying that they were afraid that the bad luck on his body would stain the courtyard. Dong Xian, who couldn't borrow money, could only go back to his grass hut and watch his father swallow his last breath.

After burying his father, thirteen-year-old Dong Xian wandered around. Relying on some martial arts given to him by his father in the border army, he joined a sideshow troupe that walked the streets, and practiced those steel guns piercing the throat and breaking big stones in the chest all day long.

When he was sixteen years old, when the gang of acrobatic troupes walked to a small hillside in Lushan County, Ruzhou, they were stopped by a big black man. At that time, Dong Xian was already the best player in the acrobatic team, and when he saw this scene, he rushed forward with a big knife.

Just when he was fighting with the big black man, the rest of the miscellaneous drama team actually took advantage of the chaos and ran away. When Dong Xian saw this scene, he panicked in his heart, and was smashed to the ground by the black man's punch.

But to Dong Xian's surprise, the black man was not as vicious as he appeared. Not only did he not want his own life, but persuaded himself to be the king of the mountain with him. The big black man patted his chest and said, "Brother, my name is Niu Gao." What is your name? ”

Dong Xian said, "Dong Xian." ”

Niu Gao laughed and said, "Okay, we will be brothers in the future." I'm eighteen. What about you? I'm only sixteen years old. That's still a child. Call me big brother in the future. Let's go and see our cottage. ”

Dong Xian followed Niu Gao to the cottage and was dumbfounded. It turns out that the so-called cottage is just a grass house. An old woman in the grass house, and a little black child who could just walk were gnawing on the grass on the hill like a calf.

Niu Gao pointed to the old woman and said, "This is my mother." Pointing to the little black child, he said, "This is my son, named Niu Tong." Brother Dong, you will be his uncle in the future. In the future, the two of us will be the king of the mountain, and my son will be the king of the mountain, eating wine in a big bowl and eating meat in a large piece.

Dong Xian saw Niu Gao's mother with white hair and wrinkled face, looking at him expectantly, and couldn't help but think of his mother, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted godmother.

Niu Gao laughed and said, "Good brother, in the future, the two of us will also earn a reputation on the green forest road." ”

Eighteen-year-old Niu Gao had a happy family before becoming a bandit. Niu Gao's father was originally a general in the Western Army, and he was extremely brave in battle. But because the Western Army is extremely xenophobic, Niu Gao's father can't be promoted to a regular general, no matter how much he makes meritorious contributions. In a fit of anger, he left the Western Army, returned to his hometown, married a rough woman, and lived an idyllic life of male farmers and female weavers.

A fierce general who crisscrossed the battlefield suddenly became a farmer, and the depression in his heart can be imagined. In order to relieve this depression, Niu Gao's father drank heavily all day long. Niu Gao, who grew up in such a family style, naturally learned to drink.

After a few years of drunkenness, he turned all his money into wine. Niu Gao's father was full of spirits and went to Shaanxi Road again to be a border army. Not long after he went, a surprise attack by the Tanguts cost Niu Gao's father his life.

My father died, and the government's pension was nowhere to be found. Niu Gao has been dependent on his mother for his life since then. Although life was a bit difficult, it was finally passable. When Niu Gao was fifteen years old, his mother told Niu Gao about a family affair. Although the daughter-in-law she married is not beautiful, she is also rough and good at doing crop work.

Niu Gao's daughter-in-law was very competitive, and in less than two years after passing the door, she gave birth to a big fat boy to the Niu family. Unfortunately, I suffered a chill while giving birth. Before Niu Tong was full moon, he died.

Niu Gao, who died of his daughter-in-law, was no longer willing to live a poor life in a low voice. Three months ago, he smashed the head of the villain who came to the door to ask for debts, carried his old mother on his back, held his own child, and went up the mountain to become a thief.

Although he is a bit of a thief, he has to rob alone, and he has to take care of his mother and children, which is really more tiring than a coolie. But after being a thief for three months, he finally found a good brother Dong Xian who he could see and look up to.

After Niu Gao and Dong Xian joined forces, life quickly got much better. At that time, although the martial arts of the two were not as good as now, with their innate divine power, ordinary Jianghu men were no match for them. The two of them gradually became famous in the rivers and lakes. However, he has never had his own cottage and wandered around the Central Plains.

In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers surrounded Bianliang. Niu Gao and Dong Xian joined a rebel army that went to King Qin of Bianliang, and came to the city of Bianliang with enthusiasm, but they were defeated by Wanyan Yinshu in one fell swoop. Niu Gao Dong fought bloodily before he broke out of the Jurchen army and escaped.

This fiasco instead woke up the general plot buried in the hearts of the two. The two of them keenly realized that troubled times were really coming. You must have a cottage in order to train an army that is enough to protect yourself. They wandered around the Taihang Mountain for several months and took a fancy to Erlong Mountain. met Niu Gao, a fierce man, Huo Rui could only be tragic.

But in today's battle to kill Hugou, the tragedy is the invincible Niu Gao. Facing Yue Fei, who was a head shorter than himself, Niu Gao couldn't catch Yue Fei's simplest move, the Black Tiger. After being knocked down four times, Niu Gao was finally convinced.

Dong Xian is also a self-aware person, seeing that Niu Gao is not Yue Fei's opponent, it is for nothing to go up by himself. immediately fell to the ground with Niu Gao, willing to join the Protector Army.

Where would Yue Fei make the two of them kowtow, he immediately strode forward and grabbed them one by one. "Brother Niu, Brother Dong, don't be polite. We Protectors don't have the etiquette of kowtowing. ”

After pulling Niu Gao up, Yue Fei looked at the three of Yue Yun and Niu Tonggao Huimin who were standing together, and couldn't help laughing and said, "The younger generation has become brothers. If we are elders and don't be brothers, aren't we even inferior to juniors? ”

Niu Gao was open-minded, and seeing that Yue Fei was really like a brother to him, he immediately shouted in a thunderous voice, "Brothers, take this group of black dogs and go back to the mountain with Yue Shuai to celebrate." ”

Niu Gao seems to be rude, but he is actually extremely shrewd. In history, after he and Dong Xian defected to Yue Fei, he was the first to fight Suizhou, but he gave the credit to Zhang Xian. He was still the first to fight Taizhou, but he gave the credit to Xu Qing. So although he was a general, he soon became the most important general of the Yue family's army.

At this time, Niu Gao was still so cautious. Although Yue Fei has repeatedly made him a brother, just like Ji Qian. But Niu Gao knew that he and Dong Xian had just joined the Protector Army, and if they were too ignorant of advancing and retreating, they might arouse the disgust of the old people of the Protector Army. Niu Gao didn't know that Yue Fei regarded him and Dong Xian as brothers who had not yet met before he came to Taihang Mountain. So he kept claiming that Yue Fei was handsome.

Dong first understood what Niu Gao meant. After all, both of them are older than Yue Fei, Yue Fei is twenty-five years old this year, Niu Gao is thirty years old, and Dong Xian is twenty-eight years old. If you don't call for an official position, you can only call Yue Fei a brother. Ji Qian and others all called Yue Fei the eldest brother. In this way, it will seem that the two of them are too arrogant.

Niu Gao's order, eight hundred strong men opened the way in front of their heads, and hundreds of soldiers carried Li Cheng's men and horses to Erlong Mountain. Along the way, there were constantly dark whistles showing their heads behind the stones or on the treetops, greeting the two village owners.

Niu Gao always pointed at Yue Fei for the first time and said, "Let's change the king of Erlong Mountain." This Yue Feiyue handsome, from today on, is our king. ”

Although those secret whistles were a little surprised, and didn't understand why the two invincible village owners actually gave up the cottage to Yue Fei, they still shouted at Yue Fei respectfully, "See King Yue." ”

Ji Qian laughed when she heard it, and said to Yue Fei with a big grin, "Brother Yue, no matter how much I invited you a few years ago, you refused to be the king of the mountain. Today, I accidentally became the king of the mountain. ”

When a group of people arrived at Erlong Mountain, Yue Fei immediately led a few generals to meet Niu Gao's mother. Mrs. Niu has been displaced with her son for more than ten years, and although she is only in her fifties, she looks extremely old.

Hearing Niu Gao's introduction to Yue Fei and the others, Mrs. Niu couldn't help but sigh again and again, "It turns out that you are the Yue Wulang in the mouth of Old Mrs. Yue." Alas, it was my family's Niu Gao who was not good that day and injured Huo Rui. I really wanted your mother to stay in the cottage. I asked Niu Gao to recognize her as a godmother. But your mother, Old Master Yue's temper was too stubborn, so she took the two children down the mountain. At that time, I was worried that something would happen to her. Fortunately, Yue Yun came to the cottage a while ago, and I knew that she was fine, so I put my mind at ease. Yue Fei, don't blame Niu Gao. ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "Auntie, don't worry, Brother Niu and I have become good brothers." I'll go and pick up my mother tomorrow, and I have to let him be Niu Gao's godmother. ”

Old Madam Niu also laughed. The old lady's days on the mountain were extremely lonely, although Niu Gao arranged two girls for her, but where would the little girl's family understand the old man's mind, and the old lady could not find anyone to talk to on the mountain. I want to talk to Niu Tong, but Niu Tong is a bison calf, running east and west all day long, and the old man can't catch up at all.

When Mrs. Niu saw Ran Qing, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she said with a smile. "Whose little girl is this, she looks better than the people in the painting. Yue Fei, is this your newly married little lady? ”

Ran Qing was made crimson by Mrs. Niu's words. She glanced at Yue Fei and hurriedly said, "Aunt Niu, I don't have such good luck. Brother Yue has already been married. ”

Yue Fei also hurriedly introduced Ran Qing, "Aunt Niu, Ran Qing is the staff officer of my back army. I'm only seventeen years old this year, but he's resourceful. ”

Although Mrs. Niu praised Ran Qing, the most pleasing thing she saw was Hua Ruyu. Because the flowers are like jade, they are tall and big, and they are very similar to the old lady Niu when she was young. So the more Mrs. Niu looked at it, the more she liked it, and she took Hua Ruyu's hand and said, "This girl is a blessed person at first glance." Do you have an in-law? ”

After hearing that Ji Qian was Hua Ruyu's fiancé, Mrs. Niu glanced at Ji Qian and snorted unhappily. The old lady meant to say, how could this bearded man be worthy of a good girl like Hua Ruyu. Only my cow gao can be worthy.

After Yue Fei saw Mrs. Niu, he missed his mother even more. I was going to take Yue Yun and Gao Huimin to the cliff more than ten miles away in the starry night. But he had to deal with several things before he left.
