Chapter 185: Accident

Brother Yelu Xiu instinctively wanted to refuse when he heard Luo Dong'er's words, but when he saw Luo Dong'er's pleading gaze, his heart softened again. Luo Dong'er finally had a smile on him, he didn't want to upset her for a few slaves.

These slaves are not yet tamed, and they can't make any waves in the capital, so it's a big deal to send some cronies to monitor them when the time comes, and it doesn't take much effort, thinking of this, Yelu Xiuge smiled generously and said: "No matter what you want, as long as I have it, I will give it all." It's just a few slaves, what's the matter. I'm going to buy them back, and you can figure out how much you should pay......"

Hui Libao stood aside and understood it early, and saw that Lord Yelu Hugh, who specializes in mediating disputes between the royal families, looked obedient to this beautiful girl, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Brother Hugh, look at what you said, but a few slaves, my lord, you opened your mouth, and the villain still dares to ask for money?" Even if you take them away, you can honor the adult, and that is the glory of the villain. ”

Brother Yelu Xiu smiled, pulled out the hand that reached into his arms again, and said, "Cheng, it's rare for you to have this thought, then I'm not welcome." You two, let's go with Miss Dong'er. ”

The scimitar Xiaoliu's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly pulled Roque and said, "And him." ”

Luo Kedi's appearance at this time was different from the beginning, Yelu Xiu Ge looked up and down a few times before he recognized him, Ye Lu Xiu Ge vaguely remembered that this person was a capital of the Song army, and after being captured, he couldn't ask for any useful information, and finally he was sold into slavery, and he didn't expect to meet him again today.

Yelu Hugo frowned and said, "This person ...... It is a prisoner of the Song army, and it is really not suitable to ...... Miss Dong'er, you have nothing to do with this person, do you? ”

During this time on the grassland, Scimitar Xiaoliu, Tietou and Luo Ke rely on each other, support each other, and have established a very deep friendship, and now they have the opportunity to get rid of being a slave, how can they bear to give up Luo Ke's enemy, Scimitar Xiao Liu's inspiration flashed, and he shouted urgently: "My lord, he is the distant cousin of Dong'er girl, how can he say that it is irrelevant?" ”

Luo Dong'er was originally smart, but he was a little cowardly in the past, so he often seemed to have no idea, but now he is alone in the enemy's nest and his mind has been tempered, which the city government still has, and after listening to the words of the scimitar Xiaoliu, he knew that he wanted to protect this Han man.

Scimitar Xiaoliu and Tietou were taken captive to Khitan because of her, Luo Dong'er felt very guilty, since he wanted to keep this person, it was to fulfill their wishes no matter what. She looked up at Luo Kedi, was surprised for a moment, and then showed a sudden look and said, "Is it really a cousin?" You...... How did you get here? ”

Brother Yelu Hugh was very displeased, although he loved Luo Dong'er, but he was not willing to be teased for a woman's profit, and he was willing to be teased, when he saw them acting like this, he made himself an idiot, and his heart jumped up with a fire, his face sank and he was ready to attack, but when he pointed at Luo Ke's enemy, he suddenly remembered the name that Luo Ke's enemy reported himself - Luo Hao.

His surname is Luo, he had never seen Miss Dong'er at that time, could it be such a coincidence? Could it be that he is really Luo Dong'er's distant cousin? Yelu Hugo thought about it, the northwest border army of the Great Song Dynasty was mostly recruited from the local area, this person admitted that he was the head of the border army, and his surname was Luo, maybe he was really a distant cousin of the Dong'er girl. With this in mind, and then thinking about it, the lean man seems to have a lot of eyes, but the Dong'er girl is very immature and pure, if it weren't for her cousin, if she wants to act like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to change her expression so naturally. Now you might as well agree to come down first, and then go back and check their identities, if there are flaws, I am not afraid that they can hide seamlessly.

Thinking of this, Yelu Hugo snorted and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then you can come with it." You remember, with Miss Dong'er here, no one will go to trouble you anymore. But you'd better keep to yourself, for if you are tame and well-behaved, it won't be difficult to get rid of slavery in the future. If not...... hum! Once something happens, not only will you be unlucky, but you will also be affected by Miss Dong'er, understand? ”

The scimitar Xiaoliu nodded hurriedly, and Luo Ke was busy making the appearance of recognizing Luo Dong'er and recognizing her in surprise. Because of this delay, it was far away from Xiao Xuanniang in front, and Yelu Xiuge had the responsibility of guarding, so he couldn't delay for a long time at this time, so he had to tell Dong'er to follow quickly, beat his horse and whip himself, and chased Xiao Hou first.

As soon as Yelu Hugo left, Luo Dong'er ordered several female soldiers and two women to ride a horse together, and gave up the war horse to Luo Ke's three enemies. As soon as the three of them got on the horse, Tie Niu couldn't hold it back, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, how did you fall into the hands of the Khitans, that Khitan official is very polite to you, you ...... You were bullied by him, otherwise how could you command these Khitan female soldiers? ”

Luo Dong'er hurriedly defended: "That Khitan official is called Yelu Huge, and he is the Great Tiyin Division of the Khitans, an official who specializes in managing disputes between royal families, and has great power. He...... He is indeed very polite to me, but he has never had any rude words and deeds, he is a humble gentleman, don't think about it. ”

As soon as Luo Dong'er spoke for Yelu Xiuge, even the scimitar Xiaoliu showed a suspicious look, the Khitan people they saw were fierce and brutal, Luo Dong'er, such a handsome Han woman, would be treated by the Khitan people? If it weren't for the sweetness of the Khitan official, she would have mixed with the Khitan people? ”

When Luo Dong'er saw their expressions, she was angry and ashamed, and said: "After Dong'er was taken captive, fortunately she was favored by the Khitan Queen Xiao Niangniang, and she has always stayed by her side, and she has never been bullied. ”

The scimitar Xiaoliu remembered that Luo Dong'er did not hesitate to stand up for Yang Hao, was humiliated and sank into the river, and would rather commit suicide in front of the Meridian Valley in order not to drag down the big head and preserve her innocence, with her such a chaste nature, she would never be as unbearable as she thought, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I don't believe that the Khitan people are so polite, but I believe in your character." If you say yes, then it must be, but I don't think that Brother Hugh may have any good intentions, you should be more careful with him and be on guard. ”

Luo Dong'er said: "I naturally save this, let's not delay for too long and cause people to be suspicious, get on the horse quickly, wait until we enter the capital, and find an opportunity for us to talk in detail." Seeing that the scimitar Xiaoliu said this, Tie Niu had to put aside his full stomach for the time being, and got on the horse with heavy doubts.

It's not surprising that Machete Xiaoliu and Iron Bull have some ideas. Just like the author, when I moved into Shenyang from a small mountain village 20 years ago, my classmates and friends were shocked and told each other with good words: "I heard that people in the city raise mink to make money, and when you meet a lost child, you will catch it and chop it and take it to feed the mink. ”

It is not surprising that ignorant schoolchildren talk like this, but even the teacher of the rural primary school said: "The pollution in the city is so bad, you can't see the sky when you look up, there is smoke and dust everywhere, and not a single tree grows in the whole city of Shenyang." The people in the city are also very rude, and the people in the hotel will draw their swords against each other if they don't agree with each other. Such scenes can be seen everywhere. "I was terrified when I heard it, and I didn't know what kind of gray place this city was, and how many fierce gods and evil spirits were hidden.

At that time, Song Liao did not have much contact, and was threatened by the grass valley, because the common people hated the northerners, and the tendency to demonize them was very serious.

I don't know that at that time, the Khitan state has been established for more than 60 years, and the political system is more sound than the Central Plains, because there are many Han people in the sixteen states of Youyun, when the Central Plains experienced five generations of knowledge, there were many Han people, including merchants and scholars, who moved north to the Khitan border for refuge, and settled down, and the degree of sinicization of the Khitan people was also quite high.

At this time, the Khitans ruled as far as quicksand in the west, as far as the Heilongjiang River basin and the areas originally belonging to the Bohai Sea in the east, and as far south as the Yuqu River (now the Krulun River) in the north, including the sixteen states of Yanyun. The old Khitan land centered on Shangjing and the nomadic tribes' settlements in the northwest still practiced slave rule. After the destruction of the Bohai Sea in the east, the original feudal system was still implemented. In the south, the sixteen prefectures of Youyun continued to implement the traditional feudal social system and political system of the Han people. This is divided into three distinct regions: western, eastern, and southern. These three regions were inhabited by different ethnic groups, practiced different systems, and were unified under the rule of the Liao Dynasty. Khitan nobles wear Hanfu, learn Chinese, learn Chinese characters become fashionable, many Khitan nobles are good at riding and archery on horses, brave and good at fighting, back to the mansion, but it is the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, talking about poetry and painting, all proficient. Whether it is the legal system or culture, the northern country has a very high level, and it is not a lawless gray world.

But it is a fact that slaves have no human rights, and their situation is even worse than that of the slaves and maids of the Han family. As soon as the scimitar Xiaoliu and the iron head were caught, they were slaves at the lowest level, and they were always detained under the tent of Hui Libao, and the only thing they knew about the Khitans was leather whips and insults, and their views were naturally the same.

Luo Ke is hostile to the northerners, but he knows that the northerners also have parents, wives and children, and also know the loyalty of the monarch and ministers, and the northerners have always admired the culture of the southerners, many of them entered the Khitan from the Central Plains, and were reused by the Khitans, and there were not a few Han people who became high-ranking officials and ministers of the Khitan. This Dong'er girl has always been among the Khitan upper-class figures, and she is favored by the Khitan queen, so it is not unusual for her to be in a better situation.

He bowed his head and said, "What Miss Dong'er said is that although we have been abused, there is no difference between the people of the northern country and the people of my Han people. The northerners also talk about filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and honesty, but we are slaves and are not among them. The Dong'er girl took refuge under the Khitan Queen, so it is not surprising that she can have such a situation. ”

He swept his eyes and saw that those female soldiers were all behind him, and he couldn't hear them clearly, so he hurriedly said again: "Miss Dong'er, I see that Brother Yelu Xiu is still suspicious of me, you and I quickly report each other's identities, and make a unified statement, so as not to show our feet when he interrogates them." ”

"Good!" Luo Dong'er also subconsciously glanced left and right, and lowered her voice and said: "The ancestor of the slave family is from the Huainan clan. His father, Luo Gongyuan, moved to Liujia Village in Bazhou 17 years ago to settle down. Earn a living by teaching and teaching. Mother......

Before she finished speaking, Luo Kedi's eyes straightened, and he lost his voice: "Huainan Luo Gongyuan? Ling Tang's name is called Li Yanran? ”

This time it was Luo Dong'er's turn to be surprised, she looked at Luo Kedi in surprise, and said: "My mother's maiden name, except for the slave family and my father, no one else knows, you ...... How do you know? ”

Luo Kedi was excited for a while, and said, "Miss Dong'er, ah, no...... Sister Dong'er, have you ever heard Ling Zun mention Luo Gongming? ”

Luo Dong'er thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of ......."

Luo Kedi's face darkened, and he smiled bitterly: "Uncle...... I really won't forgive my father even to death......"

Luo Dong'er was stunned and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Luo Kedi looked at her and said, "Dong'er, I'm ...... It's really your cousin, my father Luo Gongming, is Ling Zun's brother, Ling Zun...... Ling Zun hated his father for the five dynasties, and was an official in the dynasty, and was ridiculed as an immortal pine in the political arena, and he lost the temperament of a scholar. One night seventeen years ago, the two had a drunken quarrel, and the father slapped the uncle very angrily, not wanting the uncle to be stubborn, so he ran away from home with his aunt, and there was no news again. I really didn't expect that my father had been looking for you for more than ten years without the whereabouts of your family. But you and my brother and sister are reunited here and now......"

Luo Dong'er's apricot eyes widened when she heard this, and a cute little mouth opened into an O-shape, and the left and right scimitars Xiaoliu and Tie Niu were also stunned. The scimitar didn't expect that he would become a prophecy, saying that they were brother and sister, and they really became brother and sister: "Grandma's, I still cursed that I couldn't die if I left the time, why didn't he die?" Oh! That's right...... I forgot to mention the time......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Judge Cheng, I am close to the party in the west of Luling Prefecture, and Fuzhou in the east, and I want to communicate with the Central Plains, but I can't leave the support of the Fuzhou Folding Clan. In the days when I was away, the military affairs were in charge of the deputy envoys of the regimental training, Mu Lao and Brother Ke, the industrial and commercial taxes were in charge of Lin Pengyu and the other four elders, the affairs of the school were in charge of Fan Siqi, and the judicial affairs were in your sole responsibility. You must work together to make my Luling Prefecture prosperous. ”

Cheng Dexuan said respectfully and politely: "Although the Fuzun can rest assured, we should fulfill our duties and perform our own responsibilities, and we will never let the Fuzun have any worries." ”

These days, Cheng Dexuan's performance is remarkable, he is conscientious, he never complains, and his habit of drinking has also changed. is also very respectful to Yang Hao, so that people can't find fault at all. Yang Hao didn't know if he had changed his past or had other thoughts, for the sake of safety, he handed over the matter of judicial and criminal law to Cheng Dexuan, and the military power was in charge of Li Guangcen, Mu En, Ke Zhenzhen, and Mu Qingxuan. The financial power is dispatched by Lin Pengyu and Lu Siqi. The two most important powers are held by people he trusts, and he is not afraid of Cheng Dexuan's tricks, and at the same time, these two powers are distributed and balanced again, which also avoids the dominance of one family and corruption.

Seeing that Cheng Dexuan's answer was right and respectful, Yang Hao smiled slightly, and met Li Guangcen again, and then hugged Fan Siqi, Lin Pengyu, Ke Zhenzhen and others, and with a rein in his horse, he led Bisu, Mu Yu and others to gallop away from the prefect's yamen, and galloped away from the prefect's yamen along the flat and open official road.

Lu Dongbin is also in his team, a few days ago, Bisu wore a monk's robe and followed Yang Hao to swagger through the market, everyone has long been used to it, and now there is a middle-aged Taoist priest who looks like 2580,000, everyone is not surprised, Yang Hao does not make an introduction, and everyone does not ask.

Lu Dongbin has been practicing penance outside the gate for nearly ten years, and Chen Tuan has not seen his old friends for many years, and now he is old, and his years are coming to an end, and his old friends are to see once less once, this time he went to Taihua Mountain, just to see old friends and reminisce. He broke up with Yang Hao halfway and rode to Taihua Mountain alone, while Yang Hao went straight to Fugu with a retinue.

It was only at this time that he went to meet with Zhe Yuxun, and Yang Hao had his own plans. Zhe Yuxun had previously pretended to lead troops to encircle and suppress the Dangxiang Seven Clan, and the people were not in Fugu, which was a reason. But the main reason is that if he rushes to Fuzhou early, then he will be an out-and-out Hanako, who can only beg for gifts from Zhe Yuxun, but cannot sit down and negotiate on an equal footing.

If it was before, then he wouldn't care, even if it was an unequal negotiation, as long as the tens of thousands of people he personally brought out were preserved and his goal was achieved. But not now, now he is the prefect of Luling Prefecture, if he can't fight for enough rights and interests for himself, he will be controlled everywhere in the future, and his life in Luling Prefecture will not be easy.

Therefore, it was not until the success of the secret alliance with the seven clans of the party that the trade routes of Luling Prefecture had been initially expanded, and if he wanted to further expand his influence and operation, he could no longer ignore the existence of Fuzhou, and he also had a certain amount of capital to bargain with him, so he rushed to Fugu.

The last time Yang Hao came, he lived in Fugu Station, and this time he still lives in the station. Then he went to see the general of the fold, but he didn't want to go to the mansion of the lord of the fold but ate a closed door, he stood in front of the house for a long time, and the person who entered the report came back, and said to him with a smile: "Lord Futai, my family has just come back from leading the army to lead the army, and he has occasionally contracted a small illness, and his body is unwell, and it is not suitable to see guests now." Please go back, and when the adults in my family are better, I will invite the adults to come over to the house."

Yang Hao was not angry when he heard this, and said with a slight smile: "That's the unfortunate thing that Yang came, General Zhe is in danger of Fuzhou, and he is sick and sick, but he can't be lazy, and he also asks the housekeeper to reply to the festival to make the adult, please ask the adult to ask for medical medicine, so that he can rest and recuperate, and when the adult recovers, Yang will come to visit again."

The housekeeper didn't expect Yang Hao to react so calmly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he wanted to say anything more, he couldn't help it, seeing Yang Hao smile and leave, the housekeeper thought about it sideways, and hurried back.

Bi Su said angrily: "My lord, how could that Zhe Yuxun be sick at this time, and he can't even see the guests when he is sick, he is obviously deliberately neglecting and doesn't want to deal with you." ”

Yang Hao smiled: "Not necessarily, people are big shots, big people do things, few go straight, they always like to go around, as if others come to him, all with thousands of intentions." This is also a matter of no choice, after being high for a long time, the city government is deep, and the problem of suspicion is inevitable. Which of the heroes in the world is not Cao Cao? Should you be like a good man on the rivers and lakes? ”

He got into the carriage, leaned on the back of the seat, and said with a smile: "Let's go back, you must know whether Zhe Yuxun doesn't want to associate with me at all, or if he wants to take his body and suppress my prestige, we just need to try." ”

Bisu jumped into the carriage and said in surprise: "How to try him?" ”

Yang Hao said calmly: "Last time, I came to Fuzhou as a messenger, and I was treated with hospitality by the officials and gentry of Fuzhou. Come and don't be rude, now the official has come to Fuzhou again with the respect of the prefect of Luling Prefecture, and he should ask for it back. After going back, he posted a post to invite the officials and gentry of Fugu to the banquet, whether these people are officials or businessmen, all of them are living on the nose of the mansion, well-informed and flexible, as long as they are willing to come, what the general is thinking about in the bottom, we also have a number in our hearts. ”

He nodded with a smile and said, "Go back, Lord Ben will perform peerless calligraphy and write invitations by hand." The first one to be invited is the sons of the general, hehe, look at them...... Come or not! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Xiaofan Building, it is the largest hotel in Fugu.

There is also a Fan Tower in Bianliang, Tokyo, which is the Fan Tower where Lin Chong and Lu Qian used to eat and drink in the Water Margin. It is the largest restaurant in Bianliang, Tokyo, and in the five dynasties, the restaurant was originally a place to deal in wine and meat and wholesale sales of alum, and its real name was Bailulou. Later, the fame grew, and the building continued to expand and heighten, and finally developed into a complex of five buildings, each with three floors.

How big is it? There are 100 pavilions in the Cuiyun Building of the Daimyo Mansion, the scale of the Baifan Building in Tokyo is only larger than it, one hundred and ten rooms in a building, and the five buildings are five or six hundred pavilions, it can be said that it is a five-star hotel in the Northern Song Dynasty, famous in the world, so that someone can build a small Fan Building in Fugu, borrowing the fame of the Fan Tower in Tokyo, although its scale is not comparable to the Baifan Building in Bianliang, Tokyo, there are more than 100 pavilions.

Yang Hao invited distinguished guests here, which matched his status at the moment. Yang Hao's invitations were scattered all over the sky, and the officials of the prefecture who knew the heart of the Emperor and the wealthy gentry such as the Qin family, the Tang family, and the Li family, who had a close relationship with the Folding Mansion, all knew in their hearts, even if the tone was not very resolute, none of them categorically refused. Those officials and businessmen who couldn't figure out the intentions of the Zhefu, although they had no way to find out the attitude of General Zhe, would figure out their intentions, and when they saw the reactions of these officials, they also knew it and agreed one after another.

Yang Hao got a reply and learned that Zhen Yuxun's brother Ren Qingshu, the transfer envoy of the Yong'an Army, the military capital Yu Hou Ma Zongqiang, the three sons of the Zhi family, and the three young men of the Tang family all promised to go to the banquet as long as they had time, and their hearts settled down. Since these people have such an attitude, then General Zhe's refusal to meet today is not to worry, and General Zhe's pretense is just to create his own urgency and force him to make greater concessions. Since General Zhe also has something to ask for in Luling Prefecture, he is not afraid that he will not form an alliance, the difference is only how much concession he makes.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Hao changed into a scribe's light robe, Shi Shiran walked out of the post station, and went straight to Xiaofan Tower by car. Sitting in the car, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, Yang Hao suddenly thought of the beautiful person, who was abrupt that night, offended the beauty, and made her very angry, and he was not allowed to send her away the next day. Thinking of the reaction at the time, Yang Hao himself was also a little hot, but he was embarrassed to see him, and he really didn't send it the next day, but he forgot to ask her where she lived, and now that he has arrived in Fugu, how can he find her?

I haven't seen her for many days, although the affairs of Fuzhou are complicated, but I still think of her from time to time. Unconsciously, this cute girl who loves to laugh has entered his heart, and now when he thinks about it, his mood is even hotter. Just as he was in a daze, the carriage suddenly stopped, and he heard someone shouting and scolding and a woman crying. Yang Hao hurriedly gathered his mind and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
