Chapter 9 The Han People
At this time, it is the end of March, and the small trees on the mountain have already sprouted, and as far as the eye can see, the spring mountain is like a smile, full of vitality.
The two climbed up the hillside, only to see the willows in the near distance, the misty mountains in the distance, the sunrise in the east, scattering thousands of rays of light, Murong Xue saw the great rivers and mountains, and couldn't help but be ambitious, and chanted loudly: "Murong climbs the wall and looks, the Wu army has no boundless shore." I am self-reliant, and I kill outsiders in vain. ”
When Guan Yuqing heard this, she asked with a smile, "Big brother, what are you chanting?"
Murong Xue smiled and said, "Do you know, our Murong Clan, originated from Saibei, set the capital of Dragon City hundreds of years ago, and established the majestic Dayan Empire. This poem is written about my ancestors, the ancestor Murong Chui was persecuted by Murong Ping that year, he did not want to shed blood and kill with his brothers, and had no choice but to vote for Emperor Fu Jian, after the death of Dayan, he persevered, endured humiliation, and rebuilt the empire in Zhongshan a few years later. ”
He thought of the great achievements of his ancestors and the picture of the world, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and his face was full of joy.
Guan Yuqing listened to his eloquent words, and she was still unsatisfied, so she asked, "What about later?"
Murong Xue was saddened, and said: "Later, the ancestor sent troops to attack the Tuoba clan, participated in the battle of Hepo, and suffered heavy losses. My father was determined to restore the country all his life, but when he encountered bad luck, he failed to succeed, he named me Murong Xue, which means a shame before the snow and restore the glory of Dayan!"
Guan Yuqing saw that his face was solemn, and couldn't help but get nervous, and asked, "Big brother, you go to Dragon City, but you want to plan to restore the country?"
Murong Xue looked at the north, the mountains in the distance were undulating, directly to the sky, feeling that his soul was out of the world, he couldn't help but boil his blood, his heart was fascinated, and he said loudly: "I was born as a Xianbei man, a descendant of the Murong family, when I expel the captives, regain my homeland, and rebuild the ancestral inheritance." ”
Guan Yuqing listened, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Since ancient times, which dynasty and which generation is the foundation of the world, why be burdened by fame, you see this picturesque mountains and rivers, isn't it good for me to accompany you to swim in the world?"
Murong Xue smiled: "Didn't you tell me that how can a person live a lifetime and do nothing?"
"With the world in mind and the common people with kindness, I am willing for you to be such a hero. ”
Murong Xue laughed loudly, "Heroes deserve to make meritorious contributions!"
"You saved the Han people here last night, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and doing chivalrous deeds, all of which were done by heroes and heroes. How difficult it is for you to regain your homeland from other people, there must be a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice, and hundreds of people will lose their homes, can you bear it?"
When Murong Xue heard this, she was silent, and after a while, she said with a smile: "If the ancestors bless me, I can restore Dayan, and I will defend my homeland in peace, without disputes, and benefit the people of one party." ”
Guan Yuqing sighed, turned her head to look into the distance, and muttered to herself: "Big brother, no matter what you do, whether you gallop the world or live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, as long as you don't dislike it, I will accompany you, and I also yearn for Saibei." ”
Murong Xue smiled dumbly, "I haven't been to Saibei, I don't know what it's like there, what do you yearn for?"
Guan Yuqing smiled and said in a low voice: "Maybe it's because it's your hometown." He asked again, "By the way, what did you just say to that Gu Xinjiang?"
Murong Xue pretended to be mysterious: "You'll know at night." ”
Guan Yuqing pouted, shook his arm, and said coquettishly: "No, I have to know now." ”
Murong Xue was full of interest, smiled, and gestured and said, "I'll let them ...... In this way, you can retreat from the thief. ”
Guan Yuqing looked at him pointing and pointing, his spirit was bright, although he was just a boy in rude clothes, he couldn't hide his heroic spirit, like a general commanding thousands of troops, he couldn't help but worry and rejoice.
Thirty miles away from this village, there is a Hara Mountain, there are three brothers, Nie Long, Nie Hu, Nie Biao, Xiao gathered seven or eight hundred people, occupied this mountain, colluded with the government, and specialized in robbing the village and passing merchants.
Yesterday's minions reported that Nie Hu was killed by Murong Xue, Nie Long Nie Biao jumped like thunder, and Nie Biao shouted: "Poor leader, take the children to catch this guy." Nie Long shook his head and said, "That's it, the two of us have to go together." ”
He ordered the pigs to be slaughtered at noon, so that the minions could be fed and nourished, and they would wait for the evening to take revenge.
In the evening, seeing that the sun was about to set, Nie Long and Nie Biao took eight hundred minions and slaughtered towards Yaning Village.
In the spring cold, hundreds of people were killed at the entrance of the village, and Nie Long shouted: "Children, rush up and kill me." A group of rabble poured into the village, and suddenly there was a shout, and the direction was unclear in the darkness, and the voices of people on all sides were boiling, as if thousands of troops and horses, and the fire on the side of the bridge was soaring, and Nie Long shouted, "Not good!" A secret signal was made urgently, telling all the minions to retreat, and a group of minions withdrew from the village one after another.
When the people in ambush in the village saw it, they took advantage of the situation and rushed out with shouts, and those who were in ambush in the woods also shouted and killed out of the woods.
When those strongmen saw that they were surrounded, they didn't know how many people and horses there were, and they immediately made a mess and ran away desperately, so they trampled on each other, and countless people died. The villagers chased for more than 20 miles, and the corpses were all over the field along the way, and the blood flowed like a river, and Nie Biao also died in the chaos, only Nie Long escaped with a hundred and ten minions.
Murong Xue and Guan Yuqing looked at it from a distance behind the village, and Murong Xue couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Early the next morning, the two left ten taels of silver for the old woman and drove the carriage on the road.
The old tree jackdaw on the side of the road, the snow on the branches was slowly melting, and Murong Xue was silent as he drove the carriage. After walking not far, Guan Yuqing was indignant, "That Gu Xinjiang is really hateful, he was grateful yesterday, but he is ungrateful today." ”
Murong Xue said indifferently, "Don't worry about this, those who are rich and unkind are ruthless and unjust, they are all like this to their relatives, let alone others." I'm just worried about ......"
"What are you worried about?"
A gust of wind blew, rolling up a little dust, Murong Xue patted the dust on her body, and said gloomily: "I will kill the strong people for them, on the condition that they take good care of their mother-in-law and raise her for the rest of their lives." I think Gu Xinjiang is a person, and he must not be able to do it, I don't know how many people with conscience are still in this village. ”
"Brother Murong, the people in that village are so bad, they will definitely not keep their promises. ”
"I also told them that I would not forgive them if they repented. ”
"You won't. You saw the strongman killed last night, and you couldn't bear it, how could you deal with the common people. Guan Yuqing covered her mouth and smiled.
Murong Xue said proudly: "A gentleman's word, it is not easy to be a daughter. Yuqing, you sit down!" After speaking, he raised the horsewhip in his hand.
Spring in western Sichuan came very late, the wind was cold, the snowflakes were flying, the pedestrians on the road were scattered, the sky was lonely and the geese were singing, and the scenery was a solemn scene.
After walking for half a month, I finally arrived at Chengdu, the largest city in northwest Sichuan, where there are many shops, busy traffic, small merchants and hawkers, and juggling, so lively.
The two went to the hotel, had dinner, and went back to their rooms to rest.
On the second day, Guan Yuqing went out early, and it didn't take long to buy a bunch of clothes. Murong Xue was shocked: "Why do you have to change your clothes again?"
"Big brother, I don't like you to dress like this, you listen to me, put it on. After Guan Yuqing finished speaking, she went back to her room, leaving Murong Xue without knowing why.
Guan Yuqing changed into a light blue dress, and her long hair in the shawl was tied up with a white head rope, handsome and beautiful, elegant and refined. About Murong Xue also finished changing, so he went over and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and I saw a handsome boy, dressed in a purple straight jacket, with a gold belt around his waist, sword eyebrows, a god like a high ridge, and a tender look in his eyes. Guan Yuqing saw it and couldn't help but be happy.
Murong Xue looked at Guan Yuqing, like a hibiscus out of the water, bright and moving, and couldn't help but praise it.
Guan Yuqing listened to the joy in her heart, "Let's go around the street." With that, he dragged Murong Xue to the street.
When she arrived on the street, Guan Yuqing immediately danced like a bird out of the cage, looking at the shadow puppets here, tasting the dough there, listening to the little songs over there, and being very busy.
Unconsciously at noon, Guan Yuqing shouted that she was hungry, and the two found a magnificent restaurant, ordered a few exquisite side dishes in a secluded seat, and tasted them slowly.
