The next day, the city gates were opened and the market was lively. The surrounding counties, counties and villages are buying and selling in an endless stream of people rushing to Xiazhou City, and the people in the city have also begun to buy New Year's goods, which is even more prosperous than before the siege.

Lian Yunfeng and the others watched Shen'er and Mo'er build a snowman in the courtyard, and the sergeant at the door came to report: "Prince Ruimang has arrived!" Qin Fei and others hurriedly discharged from the hospital to greet each other, and Li Yuangong walked into the courtyard with a smile: "Brother Xian is so interested, enjoy the snow here in the morning." ”

Qin Fei asked his brother in the hall, Li Yuangong waved his hand, pointed to the Lamei on the flower platform in the corner of the courtyard and said: "The outside is breathable, and there are these flowers and trees in the courtyard, which makes people feel refreshed, not as stuffy as in the house." ”

Qin Fei nodded, and everyone accompanied him.

"Brother Xian, the Liao people have retreated, I don't know what your next plan is?" asked Li Yuangong.

"It's here, the younger brother wants to go to Yanshan Guojiazhai with Duo'er to visit the teacher, and the cottage people take Erniang back to Lianyunfeng. Qin Fei bowed and replied.

"Brother Xian, the Holy Decree and Brother I, I want to keep you in Xixia no matter what, if you are willing to bow down, I am willing to worship Brother Xian as the Generalissimo of Western Xia soldiers and horses, and lead my soldiers and horses throughout Xixia, even all the generals of Yunfeng will be rewarded with knighthoods, I don't know what the virtuous brother wants?"

When Qin Fei heard this, he hurriedly resigned: "I came to Xiazhou to save my brother's difficulty, not to gain fame and fortune, and the younger brother wanders the rivers and lakes, wandering uninhibited, I really don't want to be bound, I am afraid that I will lose the love of the saint, and I also ask my brother to inherit Shengcong on behalf of the younger brother, and the younger brother is here to thank you." ”

Li Yuangong shook his head and sighed: "I know that you don't want to stay and be the official of Nalaosh, in fact, if you are a brother, if you don't help yourself, you also want to be like a virtuous brother. With a wave of his hand, a sergeant held a tray with a big red and gold post on the plate.

Li Yuangong stretched out his hand to take the post and handed it to Qin Fei: "Brother Xian, I know that you are leaving, this is the list of items prepared for your brother, this is a wish for your brother, and you must not refuse." ”

Qin Fei had no choice but to accept it, "Brother Xie rewarded, junior brother accepted it." Li Yuangong laughed, "Brother Xian, you wait here to continue to enjoy the snow, but I will go to the city to inspect and see the people in the city." ”

Qin Fei promised and bowed down with everyone. After Li Yuangong left, Qin Fei opened the gift list and couldn't help but be taken aback. The list of items on it is dizzying, including 1,000 taels of gold, 500,000 taels of silver, 1,000 horses, 1,000 pieces of armor, arrows, cattle and sheep, grain and grass, and 2,000 soldiers were sent to escort Lian Yunfeng.

Erniang watched from the side, and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, these many instruments were silver, and the cottage could not be used up for several years. Qin Fei smiled bitterly at Duo'er and said, "Brother is gracious, but disrespectful, but I didn't expect it to be such a heavy reward, where can the cottage use so many instruments and silver taels?"

Duo'er said: "Brother treats you with a warm heart, if you don't accept it, it will be cold to your brother." It's better to set aside half of this gift list, and we will take it to Guojiazhai, where it must be useful. ”

When Qin Fei heard this, he said yes in a loud voice, handed over the gift list to Erniang, and asked Erniang to divide it into two parts.

Two days later, Qin Fei bid farewell to Li Yuangong, and the cottage people were led by Erniang, Shen'er, and Mo'er to turn around Lianyunfeng, and Qin Fei and Duo'er rushed to Guojiazhai. The money and goods given by Li Yuangong and the two thousand escort soldiers were also divided into two places, 1,000 people escorted Erniang and others to Lianyunfeng, and 1,000 people rushed to Guojiazhai with Qin Fei and Duo'er.

Li Yuangong led all the civil and military forces in Xiazhou to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city, took Qin Fei's hand and said: "Brother Xian, farewell here, I don't know when we can meet each other, in the future, if you are near Xiazhou or Xingqing Mansion, you will definitely come to visit your brother." ”

Qin Fei bowed down and took the promise, "Brother, don't worry, if you are sent in the future, you only need a handwritten letter, and the junior brother will definitely arrive in time." ”

After talking for a long time, everyone said goodbye.

After a few days on the road, they came to the boundary of Taiyuan, and the two people parted ways. Qin Fei and Duo'er led a thousand Western Xia soldiers to the south to Guojiazhai, and Erniang, Shen'er, and Mo'er led Lianyunfeng men and horses and a thousand Xixia soldiers to continue to rush east to Lianyun Peak.

After Taiyuan, there are only two days away from Guojiazhai, the next day later, the team of people and horses will come to the foot of Yanshan, Guojiazhai is built on the mountainside, the village is backed by Yanshan, take the high and live in danger, at this time it is the rudder of the North Green Forest.

Someone had been sent up the mountain to report before, and Xiaoxia Guo Zhiye, Wen Yueshan and others were already waiting at the bottom of the mountain to greet them. As soon as he saw Qin Fei, Guo Zhiye hurriedly rushed forward to greet him, and arranged for people to transport cattle, sheep, horses, armor, grain and grass and other items up the mountain.

Wen Yueshan said to Qin Fei: "Brother Qin, where did you get so many good things, didn't you make a fortune?" Qin Fei saw that Wen Yueshan was still the temperament of the youngest daughter, so he asked with a smile: "Sister Wen, why are you also on the mountain?"

Wen Yueshan said: "The three grandfathers had nothing to do, so they came to the cottage with everyone from Mount Tai, and it has been a few months, and they suffocated to death on the mountain every day." ”

Duo'er also smiled and said to Wen Yueshan: "Sister, didn't you go to the back of the mountain to hunt some pheasants and hares in your spare time?"

"It's all his fault, he says he's busy every day, and he doesn't accompany me, and he always pushes him back when he goes hunting. Wen Yueshan pursed her lips and pointed at Guo Zhiye with her hand.

When Guo Zhiye heard this, he was blushed, and hurriedly beckoned someone to carry materials to the mountain, so he barely covered up.

Qin Fei came to the commander of the Western Xia army and said: "Thank you for escorting you all the way, but there is not such a big place to place these many horses on the mountain, everyone will camp at the foot of the mountain and rest for one night, and you can return to Xiazhou City tomorrow morning to die." After speaking, he asked someone to allocate some of the silver taels given by his righteous brother to reward the soldiers of Western Xia.

The commander hurriedly thanked: "The young man is the righteous brother of Prince Ruimang, and it is natural for the little ones to escort them here, and I am really grateful for treating us so kindly." Qin Fei bowed his head, and the commander took the soldiers and went to find a place to set up camp.

Qin Fei and Duo'er followed Guo Zhiye and Wen Yueshan to the mountain, although Guojiazhai is not as steep as Lianyun Peak, but it is also a Xiongguan barrier. There are several passes along the way, all of which are heavily guarded, and if someone really attacks it, it is not easy.

As we go up, the terrain opens up. Guojiazhai is now the rudder of the North Green Forest, in addition to the original Guojiazhai itself, there are also various mountains, villages, islands, and various sects to listen to and employ people, very lively, as if it is a big town.

Come to the mountainside, and then go up is a wide stone step up to 100 steps, above the stone steps is the gate of the village, the soldiers on both sides of the village are lined up all the way to the gate of the village, the door is a tall wooden wall, there are three big characters "Guojiazhai" in front of the arcade above the gate. Guo Zhiye gave in: "Brother Qin, Miss Duo'er, this is here." ”

Qin Fei raised his eyes and saw that there was a town inside the wooden wall, and the men and women were all very busy, probably because the New Year was about to begin, and the red colors were hanging everywhere in the village, adding a lot of joy. The main gate of Dazhai is a straight, rammed earth smashed road road leads directly to a magnificent wooden building, the tall flagpole in front of the building carries a big "League" word color flag, and there are three words "council hall" on the wooden gatehouse.

Guo Zhiye led Qin Fei Er Xiao into the conference hall, and the two rows of tall seats in the east and west of the hall were full of heroes from the green forest in the north, all of whom were majestic and heroic. In the middle are three tiger skin chairs side by side, on which are his mentor Yu Qingyuan Yu Old Swordsman, and the third uncle Taihe Sword Lu Mingyuan, and the seventh uncle a sword chasing soul Guo Hongyi.

Qin Fei and Duo'er stepped forward and kowtowed, "Meet the teacher, meet the two uncles." Lu Mingyuan smiled, "Fei'er, Duo'er, hurry up." Last time you gave me a great elixir, and in a few days after you left, I would be able to walk around the ground, and everything would be as usual. ”

Qin Fei smiled, Erxiao stood up, Yu Qingyuan motioned for the two to sit down beside him, and someone had already moved two stools to put next to Yu Qingyuan.

"That is the prescription passed on by the former medicine king Bodhisattva Chen Yao'er, which is very effective in the treatment of red injuries, and the little nephew is relieved to see that the third uncle is as healthy as in the past. Qin Fei said to the third uncle, Lu Mingyuan.

"Fei'er, last time you sent a message from the capital, saying that the Liao people would use troops against Western Xia, we knew that the Liao people were temporarily unable to go south, so we let go and re-strengthened the cottage. You should have just gone up the mountain to see that many passes in the cottage have added new arrow towers, thickened and heightened the city walls, and added many new houses in the cottage. Seventh Uncle Guo Hongyi said.

Qin Fei nodded again and again. Shao leaned, took out the list of items brought up the mountain this time from his arms, stood up and handed it to Master Yu Qingyuan with both hands, "Master, this is the list of items that the apprentice brought to the cottage this time, I think the cottage can still be used." ”

Yu Qingyuan took the list, took a skimming look, and was quite surprised in his heart, Qin Fei sent someone to summon the cottage earlier, saying that he had brought some items to the cottage and asked the cottage to send someone down the mountain to carry them, but he didn't expect it to be so much money, food, and materials that the cottage urgently needed.

The old swordsman handed the list to Lu Mingyuan and Guo Hongyi, and the two were also taken aback when they saw it.
