Shangguan Yun and Xiao Yingying looked at each other, both in disbelief, but seeing that Xiao Yan was sincere, he didn't look like a person who said big things, so he had to believe it.

Xiao Yan urged: "Hurry up and prepare your horses, wait and follow us, and you will rush out after the gap is opened, don't turn back, otherwise I will save you, and I will kill a few fewer golden soldiers." ”

Seeing that he was full of confidence, there was no need to worry about it, so Shangguan Yun listened to his words and did not mention it.

Hundreds of men, women, and children in the valley turned on their horses, knives in hand, bows and strings, ready to kill the enemy at any time. Xiao Yan gave an order, everyone shouted loudly, and the three hundred riders rushed out like a black cloud, and Shangguan Yun and Xiao Yingying also followed closely.

Nearly a thousand gold troops on the mountain also rushed towards the recess, although they did not have the momentum of Xiao Yan, but they were better than the large number of people, and the shouting of killing was even more shocking. Before the two sides touched, Xiao Yan loudly reprimanded the other party in Khitan dialect, his voice was rough and loud, although more than a thousand people shouted loudly, but they could also be heard clearly. The enemy troops on the hill heard the sound and slowly stopped, and someone shouted loudly to this side. Everyone in the recess of the mountain also stopped, Xiao Yan said a few words to the people over there, and came down from the mountain to ride a few times.

Shangguan Yun walked to the front of the team and asked, "Brother Xiao, why did you stop?"

Xiao Yan said with a smile: "They are also Liao, these stupid people, they think we are the Jin Army, I heard their shouting voice is different from the Jin people, so I scolded, and they only knew." ”

Several generals came to the recess, they walked in front of everyone, looked at them one by one with torches, and when they saw Shangguan Yun and Xiao Yingying, one of them asked a few fierce questions in Khitan dialect.

Xiao Yan's face was gloomy and unhappy, and he said in Chinese: "Although they are Han Chinese, they are distinguished guests in our clan, so you don't have to guess." ”

The man snorted coldly, and also said in Chinese: "Since you are not spies sent by the Han people, why did you come to my Daliao?"

Shangguan Yun said slightly angrily: "Because my sister was kidnapped by traitors, we tracked it all the way to this point." ”

The man pointed to the snow and shouted, "If it weren't for the spies, how could you have such a good mount?"

Shangguan Yun was furious and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that ordinary people can't ride good horses?"

The man was about to speak, but Xiao Yan rushed and said, "You are just a thousand-commander, dare to suspect that my descendants of the Xiao family are harboring spies?!"

This commander didn't dare to provoke the people of the Xiao family, he opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

Xiao Yan shouted violently: "I didn't cure you for the crime of negligence, I have already forgiven you, why don't you get out quickly?" he raised his horsewhip and wanted to beat it when he saw it.

How dare the commander stay for half a minute, he scolded secretly and walked away with people in disgrace.

Although the Xiao clan is a big clan, few people dare to deal with a thousand commanders like this, Shangguan Yun was puzzled in his heart, and asked: "Why didn't Brother Xiao serve in the army? With your talent and bravery, I am afraid that even being a commander of ten thousand will also compromise you." ”

Xiao Yan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, I and today's son are also cousins, but I don't want to be an official in the court because I can't get used to seeing ministers like Xiao Fengxian intrigue in the court." Yelu Yanxi has become more and more incompetent over the years, and one day, he will cut off the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that my Khitan ancestors have worked so hard to fight. ”

Shangguan Yun was full of emotion in his heart, although Song and Liao were enemies, the situation was similar at this time, they were all traitorous ministers and weak generals, so that internal and external troubles caused the people to suffer unspeakably.

Everyone still went back to the mountain recess to rest, and as soon as the sky was clear, Shangguan Yun and Xiao Yingying said goodbye to Xiao Yan and others, and the two went north to track He Zhixian's whereabouts.

The road is full of snow-capped grasslands, the terrain is undulating, and the sky and the earth are vast as far as the eye can see.

The two walked for a long time, bypassing a small hill, but the way was blocked by the Liao army of the brigade, Shangguan Yun was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding due to the language barrier, so he bypassed it far away. After walking forward for more than ten miles, he saw more than 100 Liao soldiers in front of him, and Shangguan Yun still planned to bypass it. After walking on the snow for twenty or thirty feet, the more than 100 Liao soldiers shouted and shouted, and all of them rushed over.

Shangguan Yun saw that the situation was not good, he clamped the horse's belly hard, stepped on the snow and let go of the four hooves and rushed forward, only running out of more than 100 zhang, and a lot of Liao soldiers drilled out behind the mountain bags on the front and back, left and right, and surrounded the two of them with bows and arrows. Now that he couldn't go any further, Shangguan Yun grabbed the reins and said loudly: "Master Jun, we are passing people, can you let us pass?"

One of the Liao soldiers walked out, but it was the commander of the thousand commanders he met last night, and he smiled and said: "You two still dare to say that they are ordinary people? I am not a three-year-old doll, so I can't see this? ”

Xiao Yingying whispered, "Brother Yun, they must want to step on the snow." ”

Shangguan Yun was secretly bitter in his heart, he didn't want this person to be waiting for him here for a long time, I am afraid it will not be easy to escape with his life. Although he was besieged, he was undaunted, and shouted, "What do you want?"

The commander smiled and said, "Leave your horses behind, and then follow me back to the camp to see my general, and maybe spare your life." ”

Xiao Yingying spoke softly, but her attitude was extremely resolute, and she said, "Brother Yun, even if we fight to the death, we can't give him like this." ”

Shangguan Yun nodded, hummed softly, and said loudly: "You don't want to daydream, just because you are also worthy of riding on the snow?"

The commander was furious, gritted his teeth and said: "If you seek death by yourselves, I will fulfill you, you see if I am worthy of it." He was afraid of hurting the snow, so he did not order the arrows to be released, and with a wave of his hand, two hundred Liao soldiers rushed over.

Shangguan Yun didn't dare to touch it, he pulled the reins lightly, intending to avoid it to the side, but he didn't listen to the call when he stepped on the snow, and rushed towards the Liao soldiers. It seemed to be about to rush into the enemy formation and die with the enemy, Shangguan Yun secretly praised the spirit of stepping on the snow, and even had more backbone than many people. Xiao Yingying was so frightened that she hugged Shangguan Yun's waist tightly, and she didn't dare to look ahead.

Walking on the snow is very brave, and in a blink of an eye, he ran in front of the Liao soldiers, which was really as fast as thunder and lightning. It was very urgent, and it was about to collide, and the first few Liao soldiers were so frightened that their faces were like earth, and they all closed their eyes and turned sideways, and protected their heads and chests. Seeing that it was only far away, it turned sharply to the side when it stepped on the snow, and it raised a cloud of snow foam, and it actually bypassed the enemy line. Treading the snow this time rushed and turned, the movements were extremely fast, even if they were martial arts masters, they might not be able to do it so easily, Shangguan Yun and Xiao Yingying also almost fell off the saddle.

The mounts of the dozen or so Liao soldiers at the beginning were frightened by this might, and the Liao soldiers behind almost couldn't contain their momentum, and they were in a mess for a while.

The rest of the Liao soldiers saw the snow rushing in, raised their scimitars and wanted to cut them down, but where the blade fell, they didn't even have the horse's tail, let alone Shangguan Yun and the others. Although they had been with the horses all day, they had never seen such a galloping speed, and the commander of the thousand men laughed even more happily when he saw the courage of treading the snow, and shouted good horses, good horses.
