Chapter 4: The Return (3)

"Erbao, Erbao, there is one thing that my father thinks must be made clear to you......" Just when everyone's hearts were about to be filled with despair, Shi Zhonggui, who was curled up on a war horse, suddenly raised his head vigorously. "You were picked up on my way to the class, I, I'm not actually your biological father. ”

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry, flooding is not necessarily a bad thing. We don't have small boats, we have big boats. The big boat is at the confluence of the Sancha River and the Liao River. Zheng Ziming smiled and pretended to respond lightly. "And if the Khitan soldiers want to get here in time, I'm afraid they will have to go around in a big circle. At least half of them have to be blocked on the other side of the Sancha River!"

His father has never been a hard bone, and he didn't expect an old man who has been under house arrest for many years to have any general style in danger. Whether the other party is a hero or an ordinary person, it is his father. He had no reason to let him fend for himself in Liaodong when he already had the ability to save him.

"You really came up with me!" As if he hadn't heard Zheng Ziming say anything, Shi Chonggui gritted his teeth and continued to emphasize loudly, "I'm not your biological father, and I haven't cared much about you since I was a child. Both of your uncles can testify to this. You, you really don't have to ...... your life for me."

"I've already heard about the third sister's aunts, our Shi family, I'm afraid there are only two of us left!" Zheng Ziming smiled again and explained very patiently.

What his father thought, he knew very well. It's just an attempt to sever the relationship between the two people and let themselves run for their lives alone. This trick was already used by my father a few years ago, and he had already seen through it at that time. Now that he is taking the medicine according to the prescription, how can he believe it?

It's a pity that his patience and filial piety can't get a response from Shi Chonggui at all. Hit by the sudden tenfold widening of the Sancha River, Shi Chonggui has long since lost the ability to think rationally, and only thinks about not dragging down his son, no longer letting himself be doomed, and affecting any relatives again.

"Really, I don't lie to you. I'm really not your biological father. The two of us, in fact, have nothing to do with each other at all!" staring at the round and empty eyes, this former emperor who was once determined to take back Yanyun from the Khitans and correct the mistakes made by his father, like an old shepherd who had no love after suffering a snow disaster, continued to add in a dumb voice, not caring at all about how his words were full of loopholes, "I was afraid that your brother would be lonely, so I picked you up and returned home." When you were a kid, you made all kinds of weird things, unlike any of the kids in my family......!

"I said old man, what's the use of you talking about this now!" Unable to bear Shi Chonggui's continued demoralization of everyone, Li Shun stepped forward and protested with a frown, "If you say no, it's not? Don't look at how much my family looks like you! It's like an adobe made out of a mold, how can it be that it's not your own grandfather? Besides, you don't want to think about it, even if my family believes that what you say is all true, it has to be Khitan enough for the emperor and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to believe it!" As long as the two of them don't believe it, even if you tell a lie, can you help my family?"

"Yes, old man. Since I'm already here, it's impossible to leave you behind!" Tao Dachun also stepped forward and explained with a smile. "Besides, if I leave you behind, I won't solve any problems!"

"This, this, this ......" Shi Chonggui was instantly awakened from the illusion of sacrificing himself to save his son. He bent up again, tears dripping down his gray beard, "I, I'm really ominous." I, I'm a scourge. Erbao, leave me alone, let me stay here! I've already lived enough! I can't let anyone who is related to me end up badly!"

"Who said we wouldn't end well?Dad, you really think too much!" Zheng Ziming suddenly smiled, and called his father in a low voice like an ordinary folk father and son. "Since I dare to come, I am fully sure that I will bring you back. Let's go, I'll show you what my son is capable of!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed the reins of Shi Zhonggui's mount, and walked quickly to the east.

"Erbao, ......" Shi Chonggui didn't have any courage to refuse at all, lying on the saddle and howling loudly.

Since the last time they met, he had reunited with his son in countless dreams. Countless times, I dreamed that my son led a group of heavenly soldiers and generals to rescue himself from the sea of suffering. Countless times, I dreamed that my son knelt on the ground and bowed to himself, but he was still the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, so he personally stepped forward to pull up his son, and in front of all the ministers of civil and military affairs, he was appointed as the prince......

However, he never dreamed that his son would lead the horse for him, and call himself "Daddy" like ordinary people living in a mixed land of Hu and Han.

He is not a father, and there is no emperor tonight. They are just ordinary father and son, they can't give each other too much, and they never have the luxury of taking too much from each other. There are no fetters of the country, imperial power and other miscellaneous things. Yes, it is just a simple flesh and blood affection, which is constantly parted with, and it cannot be abandoned.

"Let's go, it's not a big deal! The boat was washed away by the flood, let's go directly to the Liao River to find the big boat when we came!" Tao Dachun raised his hand and rubbed his red eyes, and shouted loudly.

"Let's go, let's go, the living can't let their urine suffocate to death!" Li Shun also raised a pair of red eyelids and shouted loudly.

The brothers who had been in despair before suddenly felt a little warm in their hearts. He smiled, shook his spirits, and walked southeast along the riverbank. As he walked, he straightened his body anew.

"If you walk from here to the confluence of the two rivers, you will have to walk for at least three days and three nights!" After walking for about half a mile, Zhou Xin rubbed his eyes, quickly followed, lowered his voice, and muttered in Zheng Ziming's ear.

"Then go and find a horse, in this area of Liaodong, the most important thing is a good horse!" Glancing at his father, whose emotions had gradually stabilized, Zheng Ziming decided categorically. "I remember when we got off the boat, we vaguely saw a few puffs of smoke ten miles away from here! You take a few people on horseback, buy them with copper coins first, and if the other party doesn't charge copper coins, you can do it yourself!"

"The last general understands!" Zhou Xin immediately understood, turned around, and galloped quickly to a mount, "If you are still riding a horse, follow me to find strength for everyone." Let's go!"

"Let's go, go and find the foot power! What are you polite to the Khitans?" Li Biao, Wang Guigui, Tao Yong and others jumped on their mounts one after another, and hit the stirrups with both feet.

"Driving", "driving", "driving", "driving......", "driving", "driving", "driving......", "driving

The sound of hurried orders and horses' hooves sounded alternately, and soon, the figures of everyone disappeared into the boundless darkness.
