Chapter 25: Reckless Heroes
The bearded strong man who walked into the room in Zhao Lei's stunned eyes was Xiao Rong, a hero from Hebei Green Forest who escaped from prison, and behind Xiao Rong, Xiao Ruoruo, who had just recovered and was barely able to walk, also walked in with Xiao Cui's support.

"Xiao Rong, the great man of Hebei Green Forest! Sure enough, don't you know that Xingbu has issued an arrest document and is looking for you, but he actually hid in Bianjing and didn't leave, and he dared to appear here today, so you are not afraid that we will report to the official and arrest you back to the prison! Fan Zhongyan saw Xiao Rong with a big beard on his face, and said with a cold expression.
Xiao Rong walked into the house, came to the banquet as if no one was around, picked up the porcelain wine bottle of the banquet, drank it in a bold gulp, and then laughed and said to Fan Zhongyan: "I heard that it is the famous Gengzhi Yushi Fan Zhongyan Fan!" I heard that Lord Fan also served as the county governor on Hebei East Road, Lord Fan should know the scourge of the horse thieves of the Northern Liao State to the people of the Great Song Dynasty frontier, although Xiao killed like hemp, but the butcher knife in his hand has never been waved against his own people, Lord Fan should know that those Liao horse thieves who have ravaged Hebei Road for more than ten years died in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, not those frontier forbidden troops that your court counted on, but our eight thousand heroes in Hebei exchanged their lives for their lives, so although Xiao does not feel meritorious to the country, at least he is not guilty of the country, Xingbu's arrest document was also made for the Liao State to see, that is, Xiao Mou went around Bianjing in a big way, as long as he was not seen by the Liao people, it is estimated that no one would come to arrest Xiao, Lord Fan, am I right! ”
Fan Zhongyan looked at the heroic Xiao Rong, smiled bitterly and was speechless, Xiao Rong was right, the so-called wanted document of the Xing Ministry was just a formality, made for the people of Liao, Xiao Rong, a hero of the green forest in Hebei, although his hands were full of blood, but he was loyal and patriotic, and the people he killed were all Liao horse thieves on the border of Song and Liao, so the court was particularly tolerant of Xiao Rong, if it wasn't for the Liao army gathering on the frontier, the court didn't want to cause disputes between the two countries because of Xiao Rong, I'm afraid Xiao Rong would not be caught in the prison of Dali Temple.
Zhao Lei saw Fan Zhongyan's somewhat bitter smile, and didn't know what grievances he had with Xiao Rong, so he could only change the topic and ask Xiao Rong: "Brother Xiao Rong is really daring!" This dangerous time is still staying in Bianjing, I don't know what Brother Xiao Rong is here to do! ”
Xiao Rong looked at Zhao Lei with a solemn expression, suddenly pulled Xiao Ruoruo behind him, and bowed and said: "Xiao Rong and the little girl knocked on some Zhao Divine Doctor twice to save his life!" ”
When Zhao Lei heard Xiao Rong's words, he hurriedly walked to his side, picked him up and said, "Brother Xiao Rong can't help it!" It is the duty of our doctors to heal the sick and save lives. ”
Zhao Lei pulled Xiao Ruoruo, who was still weak, with his left hand, and Xiao Rong with his right hand, trying to pull the two up, although with Zhao Lei's strength, he still couldn't pull up Xiao Rong, who was still like a mountain, and could only helplessly watch Xiao Rong and Xiao Ruoruo's father and daughter respectfully kowtow to him three times.
Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and others, seeing Xiao Rong and Xiao Ruoruo behind him, knelt down to bow to Zhao Lei's life-saving grace, they were shocked and curious, they didn't know that Zhao Lei had saved Xiao Rong's life, and they didn't know that the heroic and heroic girl they often saw these days was Xiao Rong's daughter Xiao Ruoruo.
"Xiao came to the pharmacy this time, the first is to thank the divine doctor for saving his life, and the second is to hope that the divine doctor can take in the little girl, follow the divine medicine with some medical skills, and also diagnose and save people, and atone for Xiao's past sins!" After Xiao Rongsan knocked, he pulled Xiao Ruoruo to stand up and said to Zhao Lei Zhengse.
"Take in Miss Xiao! Why didn't Brother Xiao Rong take Miss Xiao home and stay here? Yin Zhu is the most cynical person among the four, and he is also the official who is the most contemptuous of the law, so he has a good impression of Xiao Rong, who is heroic by nature, and when he heard Xiao Rong's request to Zhao Lei, he immediately asked curiously.
"Home! Xiao still has a home there! Taihang Thirty-six Villages, which was originally a place for the people who had nowhere to live in the frontier was attacked by horse thieves in Liao, but was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court in front of the thieves' nest, and now they have become ruins, and those people are also matched with the frontier again, Xiao still has a home there, and he can take the little girl there! Xiao Rong heard Yin Zhu's words, said bitterly and resentfully, and after speaking, his eyes widened angrily, and he looked at Fan Zhongyan hatefully.
At this time, Zhao Lei, Ouyang Xiu and others all saw that Xiao Rong and Fan Zhongyan had a contradiction, and they were not very right, and looked at Fan Zhongyan who was drinking sullen wine on the side suspiciously.
Looking at the curious eyes of Zhao Lei and others, Fan Zhongyan smiled bitterly and blamed himself and said: "Taihang Thirty-six Village, many people are the people of Hebei East Road Fu County, and I happen to have worked in Hebei East Road for several years, so when the imperial court arrested Xiao Rong, the Ministry of War once asked for my opinion, and I found the people under the jurisdiction of the past, and then asked them to tell the specific location of the thirty-six villages, and under the sudden attack, they easily took down those cottages and arrested Xiao Rong and other bandits, but I never expected that those officers and soldiers would be so ruthless, 100,000 people in 36 villages, all of them were assigned to the frontier to become criminal people for military cantonment, alas! Fan Zhongyan said this, sighed, drank in a muffled voice, and blamed himself and regretted himself.
"An official is an official, a thief is a thief, you can never change the opposing position, no matter how good a thief is, you are still a thief, if you are a thief, we will arrest it, why should Brother Xiwen blame himself!" Yu Jing changed his ridiculous tone at this time, and said to Fan Zhongyan with a straight face.
"Yes! We are thieves, so we don't blame others for being caught, but the 180,000 good people in Thirty-six Villages, they are not thieves, why should they also take responsibility and be assigned to the frontier! Xiao Ruoruo, whose body was still weak, asked stubbornly and coldly with a pale pretty face.
"Good people! As far as this official knows, the people of Taihang 36 villages, not only resisted the official office and did not pay taxes, but also injured the tax collectors several times, and once directly beat the tax collectors to death, for decades, cultivated the land of the Great Song Dynasty, but did not pay taxes, if the kind people of the Great Song Dynasty are like this, it seems that the Great Song Dynasty can no longer find Diao Min. Ouyang Xiu was the most eloquent, and immediately retorted sharply, a trace of blush flashed on Xiao Ruoruo's pale face, but he couldn't refute it, after all, what Ouyang Xiu said was the truth.
"That's it! If you don't say it, the matter has already happened, and the quarrel is useless, Xiao came this time, hoping that Doctor Zhao can take in the little girl, I don't know what Doctor Zhao wants? Xiao Rong whispered to her daughter first, and then looked at Zhao Lei pleadingly.
Zhao Lei pondered for a moment and asked Xiao Rong: "Miss Xiao stays here, where will Brother Xiao Rong go?" ”
"There is no way to go back to Hebei, if Xiao appears in Liao again, it is estimated that it will lead to disputes between Song and Liao, and the peace of the thirty years after the alliance of Tanyuan can be invalidated because of Xiao, so Xiao decided to go to Xining in the northwest to see how powerful the party warriors in Western Xia are!" Xiao Rong said boldly.
"Northwest Xining! Brother Xiao Rong also learned that Yuan Hao succeeded to the throne, and he was arrogant and arrogant, and he had already rebelled. When Yin Su heard Xiao Rong's words, he immediately said in shock.
"Yuan Hao! What? Bai Xinlan, who was sitting next to Zhao Lei, asked curiously.
"Yuan Hao is the eldest son of Zhao Deming, the king of Western Xia, eloquent, brave and treacherous, a few months ago the Western Xia opened the passage to the Western Regions, it was Yuan Hao who led the troops to command the battle, he had a very high prestige in the Western Xia army, and was good at political affairs, after Zhao Deming died in October, Yuan Hao succeeded to the throne in November, the most terrible thing is that Yuan Hao is only twenty-nine years old, in the prime of life, and ambitious, if Song Liao did not suppress the determination and method of Western Xia, Yuan Hao conspired against the founding of the country is not an impossible thing!" Fan Zhongyan was very clear about these things, and continued to sigh.
"Not bad! After Zhao Deming's death, the official family sent Langzhong Yang of the Ministry of Industry to be the official envoy of Jingjie, and Zhu Yungong to be the deputy envoy, and went to Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia, preparing to confer Yuan Hao as the king of Xiping, and the envoy of the military festival.
But when Yang Xuan and others arrived in Xingqing Prefecture, Yuan Hao actually stayed and did not come to meet the imperial decree, and discussed with the left and right for a long time before kneeling down to receive the decree. The school scrivener Yoon Su is also clear about these things, and slowly says word by word.
"Not bad! Xiao also got the news and knew that Yuan Hao was ambitious and had the intention of rebellion, so he was ready to take the Hebei brothers to go to Xixia for a visit, and take a look at the geography of Xixia and the arrangement of soldiers and horses! Xiao Rong laughed heartily and said pointedly.
Zhao Lei looked at the heroic Xiao Rong, in awe, he finally understood now that Xiao Rong is the hero mentioned in Mr. Jin's book a thousand years later, a chivalrous man for the country and the people, for the people of the frontier to fight against the swarming Liao horse thieves, for the ambition of Yuanhao of Western Xia to prepare to enter Western Xia to explore the enemy, in addition to the hero, Zhao Lei really can't find any other words to describe the heroic Xiao Rong.
"Daddy! I don't want to stay here! I'm going to Western Xia with you! Xiao Ruoruo, who was pale and weak, hugged Xiao Rong's arm and said coquettishly, while saying it, she peeked at Zhao Lei's expression on the other side, and saw Zhao Lei thinking about something dementedly, she didn't pay attention to her at all, Xiao Ruoruo pouted angrily and pinched her father Xiao Rong hard.
Xiao Rong, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and others, when they saw the heroic Xiao Ruoruo's little daughter's demeanor, they snickered at each other.
"Okay, good daughter, don't pinch anymore, my father is about to be strangled to death by you, and I won't be able to go to Xixia by then." Xiao Rong looked at her daughter dotingly and said.
Xiao Ruoruo saw that the people around her were looking at her with a strange smile, and in shame, she stomped her feet and ran out, Xiaocui, who had been taking care of her next to her, knew that her body had not yet healed, and strenuous exercise was not beneficial to her body, so she immediately chased her out and took care of Xiao Ruoruo, who was seriously injured and had just recovered.
Zhao Lei saw that Xiao Ruoruo and Xiaocui were gone, and glanced at Bai Xinlan beside him, and the beauty immediately retired and walked out of the room.
In the room, Zhao Lei was left, as well as Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Yu Jing and Yin Zhu, the four heroes of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Xiao Rong, a hero of Hebei Green Forest, and the six of them conspired in the room all night.
Early the next morning, Xiao Rong left more than a dozen Hebei green forest men to protect Xiao Ruoruo's safety, and then quietly left, and since then he has been hiding in the northwest until the destruction of the Western Xia country.
