In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since Zhao Gu and his party came out of Linhuang City, during which everyone was in a hurry day and night, and they actually finished the road that would have taken half a month to complete. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Now, the group is about to come to the Song-Liao border, as long as they go out of this border, they will be considered to be in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

That night, everyone found a small mountain village in the mountains.

When the people in the village heard that Zhao Gu and others were from the Great Song Dynasty, they all had tears in their eyes, and many people even cried loudly on the spot.

Li Fu and other officials questioned the villagers, and only then did they know that these people were all Han Chinese.

Seeing these Han people, Li Fu told the villagers the news that the sixteen states of Yanyun had been recovered on the spot, and the villagers cried more and more after hearing it.

Zhao Gu stopped Li Fu, who wanted to continue talking, and said: "They must be the Liao people who migrated from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and they are usually fed up with the bullying of the Liao people, so they are so sad after seeing us, they are wronged!" Just let them vent. ”

Li Fu nodded, feeling very sad, even if the sixteen states of Yanyun were recaptured, but these Han people who migrated to the Liao State did not know when they would be able to return to the Great Song Dynasty.

In the evening, the villagers arranged for Zhao Gu and his party to rest in a few houses vacated in the village, and at the same time prepared a hearty dinner.

After dinner, Li Fu invited several village elders to ask them in detail about their daily life in Liao.

When Li Fu heard that the Liao people kept the Han people as livestock, and beat and scolded and killed them at every turn, the killing intent in his eyes was very strong.

When they were talking about this, Zhao Gu didn't make a sound, but listened quietly on the side, but he didn't show everything on his face.

Just when the old man in the village was chatting with Li Fu, several children also ran over, and they first looked at their grandfather's expression carefully, and then they had the courage to come over.

"Master Guan, can we return to the Great Song Dynasty in the future? It's not good at all on the Liao side," an older child asked.

Li Fu laughed and touched the child's head: "Of course, you are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally you should return to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Another child also asked: "After arriving in the Great Song Dynasty, if those soldiers ask us for food, and we don't give it, will they kill us?" ”

"Of course not, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are the most disciplined, and they will not bully the common people." Li Fudao.

"Oh, that's great, we're going to have a good life in the future."

"You want to live a good life."

"You want to live a good life."

Several children jumped up with joy, roaring and screaming, causing a group of adults to burst into laughter.

At this time, a little girl of four or five years old ran in front of Zhao Gu and handed Zhao Gu a wild fruit: "Big brother, do you want to eat it?" ”

Zhao Gu took the fruit, held the little girl on his lap, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”

"Fruit."

"Fruit? Nice name. Zhao Gu put the wild fruit in his mouth and chewed it gently.

"Big brother, tell me the story of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise I'm afraid I won't get used to it after I go there." Guo'er laughed.

Zhao Gu smiled: "A four-year-old child can actually think of this? Who taught you. ”

Guo'er stuck out her tongue, pointed to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl not far away, and said, "It's my sister, she asked me to say that." ”

Li Fu and the others naturally heard Guo'er's words, and they all laughed when they heard the words.

Immediately, Li Fu beckoned to the villagers who were looking at this side in the distance: "Come here, let's tell you about the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Guan."

A group of people came over at once, surrounding Zhao Gu, Li Fu and others.

Li Fu smiled again and said to Zhao Gu: "Great talent, let's talk about it." ”

Zhao Gu nodded, and began to talk about the daily life of some of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, which attracted a group of villagers to be fascinated.

At this time, Guo'er's sister asked, "Lord Zhao, are you also a Han who ran away from Liao?" ”

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Gu asked.

"Because I found that you are particularly familiar with the Liao Kingdom." The little girl replied.

Zhao Gu smiled: "Yes, you guessed right." ”

"Then how dare you run out of Liao alone?"

"Because I want to be free. Freedom or death! ”

Freedom or death!

Everyone was subconsciously repeating this sentence.

Looking at the simple eyes of the villagers, revealing a touch of expectation and yearning, Zhao Gu suddenly felt that he seemed to be doing something for them.

Like being free for them!

Obviously, the Liao State relied on these wise Han people to engage in production and maintain the livelihood of many places in the Liao State, so they would definitely not be willing to let these Han people return to the Great Song Dynasty.

If you want to take them away, there will definitely be a bloody battle.

――――――――――

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Gu got up early, had breakfast with Li Fu and others, and then everyone was ready to leave.

At this moment, a mountain name stumbled into the mountain village.

"Oh no, there are hundreds of Liao soldiers coming towards us."

Zhao Gu and Li Fu glanced at each other and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Li Fu said: "Let's stay and see what's going on, right?" ”

Zhao Gu nodded, and everyone stayed, waiting for the arrival of the Liao soldiers.

After a while, a cavalry team of 500 people walked into the bottom of the mountain where the village was located, and the leader was Han Derang, the privy envoy of the Liao State.

Zhao Gu suddenly realized that this person was afraid that he was looking for himself and Li Fu, otherwise, with his identity, how could he personally lead the team to this ordinary small mountain village.

Several old people in the village also quickly saw that something was wrong, and immediately gathered the villagers and said, "These Liao soldiers must be coming for these officials and masters of the Great Song Dynasty, let's see the opportunity later." ”

A man in his thirties said: "Why don't we young people ride horses, run up Zhushan, and take these Liao soldiers around the mountain. ”

The old people nodded, and nine young men immediately came out of the village, took the horses that the Liao people had kept in their homes, and ran madly up the mountain.

Zhao Gu saw everything on the side, and hurriedly stopped the villagers on his horse, and said: "If you do this, you will be burned, if those Liao soldiers catch up with you and find out that you lied to him, they will kill you." ”

A middle-aged man at the head laughed: "Master Guan, don't worry about us, we have traveled through this mountain since we were children, and the chance of survival is very great." ”

"But ......."

Without waiting for Zhao Gu to speak, this group of men rode around Zhao Gu on horseback and soon got into the mountains.

Li Fu also thought of the purpose of these men at this time, let out a long sigh, and said to Zhao Gu: "Let's go, don't let their sacrifice lose its meaning." ”

Zhao Gu nodded: "I hope they can really rely on the terrain to survive the offensive of these Liao soldiers." ”

After speaking, Zhao Gu whipped his horsewhip heavily and ran towards the other side of the village first.

"Full speed ahead, I'll come to the back of the palace."
