"Little brother, I'm so interested, fishing!" Ah Shu has lived in this courtyard for a few days, except for eating and sleeping in a daze, not even a personal question, the things outside are even more black, and he can't figure out the situation for a while, he really can't hold it back today, but there are only two people in this courtyard, and he can only put something out of this young man's mouth.

"Oh, yes, this place eats mutton every meal, and it's all fat to fart, let them change it, and ignore it, so you can only try your luck and see if you can catch a fish, change the taste!" Zhao Ta stared at the water without replying, and complained.

"yes, I just don't know if there are any fish in this water?" Ah Shu saw that he took the conversation and climbed along the pole.

"Why is it upset that you old gentleman speak, what do I eat if I don't have fish!" Zhao Ta twisted his face and glanced at Ah Shu.

"Hehe, it's my bad breath, I'm sorry little brother!" As soon as the two sentences were paired, Ah Shu immediately saw that this young man did not have any city government, it seemed that he had found the right person today, so he hurriedly said with a smile, in fact, he didn't know that there was an old guy who was a man of two lives hidden in this young body.

"It's like saying, sit on the sidelines, and you can taste the fish when you catch it!" Zhao Ta nodded to show that he forgave him, "Look at the old gentleman is a Jurchen, right?" ”

"Yes!" Ah Shu sat down next to Zhao Ta and replied.

"No wonder you are hiding here, now the city hates the Jurchens to the core, and the common people see one and kill another, it's best to hide your pigtails!" Zhao Ta glanced at the old man, with a medium build, a white beard, and a small braid the thickness of chopsticks combed on the back of his head, which was by no means as thick and 'good-looking' as in the current Manchu dramas.

"Oh. How could it be, although I am a Jurchen. But I am a friend of the Liao people, and the emperor has a close relationship with me! Ah Shu couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe for a while. But thinking that this kid said this, he must have something to do with Liao, and hurriedly explained.

"Cut, they also said that the old man over there is still a relative of the emperor!" Zhao Ta didn't buy it, and sneered at Yelu Yu, who was walking around there.

"What's his name?" Ah Shu was taken aback, this person looked at Mian Sheng, and he didn't know him with his experience of living in Liao for many years, he hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, I don't know what to say. Besides, I don't know who you are, why do you want to tell you! Zhao said.

"The old man's is Ah Shu, the patriarch of the Jurchen Sushilie tribe, the little brother should have heard of it, right?" Ah Shu said proudly, although he saw that Zhao Ta was a little bit second, he was brightly dressed, and he was by no means a child of an ordinary family.

"Ah Shu?! Ha Luha, you are Ah Shu, a traitor who has been begged by the Jurchens. The one who hides in Da Liao and doesn't dare to go home...! Zhao Ta was startled and then laughed, as if he had just learned the identity of the person in front of him.

"It's the old man!" Ah Shu was a little embarrassed by the attitude of the young man in front of him, but he didn't expect that he was a coward in the eyes of the Khitans, although the other party didn't say it explicitly. "It's not that the old man is cowardly, I also wanted to return to Liaodong and gather the old ministry to destroy the Yan department. But now that the Lord has invaded the Great Liao, the Liao Emperor and the first emperor treat me like a guest. Every time you ask me, sincerely keep it. That's why I couldn't make the trip. ”

"Ask you?! You've got a bad idea! Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"You... You are really presumptuous, if the Liao Emperor listened to me back then, he would not have ended up like this, and the Wanyan tribe would have been wiped out a long time ago, how could there be today's disaster..."Ah Shu was enraged, I don't know if Lu Dao wanted to prove that he was not a coward, or if he had been suppressed for too long, and talked endlessly about his experience over the years, including the regret of unpaid ambitions, and the dissatisfaction with Emperor Liao's mediocrity, and then showing his outright hatred for the Wanyan clan.

"Yo, the fish is hooked!" When Ah Shu said that he saw that there was no hope of following Emperor Liao to flee and return to the country, and he broke away from the team and was ready to return to Liaodong in search of opportunities, Zhao Ta screamed in surprise and shook his rod violently, and a two-foot-long golden carp was thrown to the shore.

"Little brother is really lucky, the old man doesn't know the name of the little brother but has been talking to you for a long time!" When Ah Shu saw Zhao Ta neatly put the fish into the wooden barrel on the side, and the fish couldn't get rid of the fate of being caught no matter how hard he struggled, he suddenly realized that he was originally talking to this young man, but he didn't expect that he hadn't even figured out the other party's name and surname, but he had checked it out, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, this young man was by no means as simple as it seemed.

"Oh, Xiao Ke's surname is Zhao, and everyone in my family calls me Zhao Er!" Zhao Ta said 'casually'.

"Disrespectful, which branch of the Youzhou Zhao clan is Gongzi?" Ah Shu asked, after the southern invasion of the Liao State, in order to maintain the rule, he made friends with the Han people and cultivated a group of Han bureaucratic families, the most famous of which are the four surnames of Han, Zhao, Liu, and Ma in the Yanyun area. When he saw that the young man was wearing Hanfu and had long hair, he knew that he was Han, and since his surname was Zhao, he could definitely be a member of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family refers to the Zhao Dejun family. Zhao Dejun was originally a warlord of Youzhou in the fifth dynasty, Liao Taizong attacked Taiyuan, and Zhao Dejun and his son Yanshou were defeated and captured. Soon, the Zhao family was reused by the Liao court, and Liaosheng Youzhou was Nanjing, so Zhao Yanshou was sent to Nanjing to stay behind. In the process of Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang attacking the Central Plains and destroying the Later Jin Dynasty, Zhao Yanshou made military achievements. After Liao Shizong ascended the throne, he was worried that Zhao Yanshou would be too powerful and breed ambitions, so he cut his military power. But the Zhao family's property was not confiscated.

Therefore, the Yanjing Zhao family is still prominent in Liao, and it has three sons, in addition to the eldest son Yanshou, the second son Yanmi once served as the envoy of Heyang Jiedu, the general of Yunlu, and the Taiwei; The third son, Yanxi, was the general of the Left Prison Gate, Situ. The four grandchildren are all officials in Liao, serving as envoys, captains, and situ. Although the family branches out, the origin is all descended from these three branches, so Ah Shu asked this question.

"Family Ancestor Xing Er!" Zhao Ta thought for a while and replied, but this Zhao family is not the other Zhao family. Although his answer is suspected of deception, but there is room for it, his surname Zhao is true, his ancestral hometown of Zhuozhou is said to be Youyan people, he is a member of the Taizong line, and it is not wrong for his ancestors to go up to the second, as for your misinterpretation of the meaning, it is none of my business.

"Oh, Childe is also the queen of the gate!" Ah Shu also knew that the Zhao clan was very influential in the Liao Kingdom, especially in the Yanjing region, and he also heard that the Song Dynasty sent troops to attack Liao, and it was estimated that the young man family arranged him to take refuge here as a precaution. But if you ask further, this Zhao Er began to perfunctory and talk about him, which made Ah Shu feel that this young man was more and more mysterious, and he was more interested in him...

Today, Zhao Ta first deliberately pretended to be stupid, so that Ah Shu relaxed his vigilance, and then suddenly made a radical statement, so that he was in a hurry to defend himself, and only after saying for a long time did he understand that he was being tricked, and then pretended to be mysterious, and successfully attracted Ah Shu's attention, Zhao Ta's purpose has been achieved, so he made the fish with his own hands and invited Ah Shu to eat together.

Zhao Ta understands the psychology of exiles like Ah Shu, who have no way to return to their homes, who live under the fence of sending people in a foreign country, watching other people's faces, listening to too many promises, and experiencing countless disappointments, they have long become cautious, very slippery, and easily do not trust others. If you come up and say, 'I'll help you restore the country and kill Ah Guta', it is estimated that Ah Shu must think that he is crazy, this kind of thing is in a hurry, so he can only slowly cultivate his feelings first and gain his trust!

In an enclosed space, everyone feels lonely and wants someone to talk to, even if it's a stranger. Ever since Ah Shu had spoken to this young man, he had been looking forward to the dawn every day, and he could chat with him in the garden, although he couldn't let down his guard, but he talked more and more. And Ah Shu also found that he also realized from the conversation that this Zhao Er was by no means the 'three hundred' he saw on his face, but a person who was quick-witted, flexible, and very deep in the city. But this did not prevent the two from having a pleasant morning conversation every day, but made Ah Shu feel that the two of them hated to see each other late.

As the contact deepened, the two became more acquainted, and the content of the conversation changed from the past to in-depth topics, and the conversation time in the garden was extended, and sometimes lunch was shared in the garden. Slowly, the two began to visit each other's residences, and the people of the City Lord's Mansion didn't seem to stop them, allowing them to come and go freely. The old and the young have become New Year's friends, and the topic has also begun to involve the current political, military, economic situation and other major events of the national economy and people's livelihood,...

"Second brother, you only see that there will be a big war in Xijing soon, so how will they deal with it?" Now that it is late May and the weather is getting hotter, the two set up a tea table in the garden pavilion to drink, and the topic has turned to Xijing.

"Alas, it's hard to say, now the big Liao tree is scattered, the first emperor is not dead, Nanjing is called the emperor, the state-owned two main government decrees are chaotic, and the local states and counties are either reducing the gold, or they are self-reliant, and they are not subordinate to each other. Xijing was recovered, and now Xijing stayed behind to guard Xiao Cha Thorn as the leader, but it did not welcome back the first emperor, nor did it serve Nanjing, but ordered to send aid to the surrounding states and counties as a left-behind person, and it first rebelled against Liao and reduced Jin, and now the rebellion against Jin is suspicious. Zhao Ta said, "Now due to Xiao Chala's unclear attitude, the Western Xia reinforcements are lingering on the Liaoxia border in Fengsheng Prefecture, and only Geng Shouzhong is sent to Xijing, and other states and counties are waiting." And Xijing Jinguo is bound to win, Wanyan Xian is also newly defeated, and he sends aid to Zhongjing, which seems to be calm now, but it is not a good thing..."

"You said that Aguta might personally conquer Xijing?" Ah Shu exclaimed.

"There is such a possibility, but even if Ah Gu can't come, the Jin army will send a large army to come, and now they need to raise grain and grass and transfer troops, otherwise the Jin army near Xijing will not be so peaceful, they must be waiting for reinforcements to come!" Zhao said.

"Little brother is right, but it's not possible for Ah Gu to fight his relatives, he will definitely come!" The two were talking happily, and before they knew that someone was listening, someone suddenly interjected, which startled them... (To be continued.) )
