Chapter 21: Seven Years Before the Gathering of Brothers and Wine (2)

And they all took the command, and went every man. Lu Yincong was also helped back to rest. However, Yin Zhengli, Zhao Xiaoyu and Qiao Luo timidly ordered 35,000 soldiers and horses, and these horses and horses would rush to Hangzhou with them. Although Qiao Luo is a general of the Haihui Society, he has never seen so many horses. He couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart: This Yilong Gang is already a big gang, but how can the Yilong Gang be compared to the Yahai Society!

After the three of them ordered the soldiers and horses, Yin Zhengli said: "Fourteenth brother, I should have celebrated your entry into the meeting, but now that our third brother has been arrested, the head of the general association is really not in the mood." Qiao Luo hurriedly said: "This is natural, the arrest of the third brother is a 100,000 urgent event in our gang, how can I still celebrate! Besides, everyone is a brother, and there will be many days of drinking together in the future!"

Yin Zhengli smiled and said, "My eleventh brother and I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you tonight!" Qiao Luo's heart warmed timidly, and said, "Thank you two brothers." ”

The three of them set up a table outside, and Yin Zhengli brought three jars of wine, and said with a smile: "The wine pipe is enough, let's have a good drink today!"

Qiao Luo couldn't help but smile timidly, this kind of thing of drinking and eating with his brother was his favorite, not to mention that the two people in front of him were his own brothers. When I think about it like this, all the melancholy is diluted, and the mood is very comfortable.

After Qiao Luo timidly came to the Kuhai Society, he felt that in addition to Lu Yincong, only Yin Zhengli and Zhao Xiaoyuan were the most accessible and broad, and it was these two who were drinking with him right now, and he was indescribably happy in his heart!

Qiao Luo smiled timidly: "Brother is new to here, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me!" Yin Zhengli laughed and said, "There is nothing right or wrong, let's not pay attention to those!" Zhao Xiaowan drank a glass of wine and said: "Brothers are together, if you are timid, it will be meaningless." ”

Yin Zhengli and Zhao Xiaoyan asked about Qiao Luo's cowardly hometown, Qiao Luo said timidly, and told them in detail about his background, after speaking, Yin Zhengli and Zhao Xiaoyan couldn't help but sigh: "My brother's family background has not suffered any danger, which is very good." ”

Qiao Luo said timidly: "The family of the cloth people, what other dangers can they suffer?" Zhao Xiaoyan shook his head and sighed: "The world is occupied by Mongolian Tatars, they can't wait to kill all the Han people, let this large piece of land live on the Mongols, and they can't wait to waste our arable land and turn it into a grassland for their horses!"

Yin Zhengli nodded and said: "The Tartars do all kinds of evil, in their hearts, they have never treated us Han people as human beings!"

Qiao Luo timidly looked at the scene of the two talking, it seemed that they both had the experience of being persecuted by the Mongols, and he couldn't help but hesitate: "Before the two brothers entered the meeting, they ......" Zhao Xiaoyan sighed and said: "Before I entered the meeting, the whole family was slaughtered by the Tartars. ”

Qiao Luo said timidly: "What's going on?" Zhao Xiaoyan drank the wine in the bowl and said quietly: "Brother Qi and I are from the same country. Most of our people are surnamed Zhao. Scold...... On that day, the Tartar official passed by our township with a large number of Tartars, and when he was drinking water in a family, he knew that there were many people surnamed Zhao in our township, and the Tartar said that we had royal blood in the Song Dynasty, so he asked those Tartar soldiers under him to kill the people of the whole township!"

Qiao Luo slapped the table timidly, his face turned white with anger, and said, "How can this be reasonable!" Zhao Xiao said: "Brother Qi and I escaped from that hellish hometown with some martial arts. Me and him...... He and I have both seen the tragic deaths of our loved ones...... That scene, every time I think about it, I feel like a terrible nightmare!"

Qiao Luo said timidly: "Who is that big official? Is this revenge?" Zhao Xiaoyan shook his head and said, "Seventh Brother and I don't know what that person's name is." To be honest, we didn't even see what this dog tartar looked like!" Qiao Luo couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he didn't even see what his enemy family looked like, this is also the most painful thing in the world, if he did, he would definitely divide this grudge to the Mongols in the world.

Yin Zhengli said: "The Mongols in this world are all the same taste! Killing other Tartars is the same as killing the wicked man himself!"

Qiao Luo timidly poured a bowl of wine for Yin Zhengli and Zhao Xiaoyan, picked up his own wine bowl and said, "Two brothers, let's drink for one day to drive away the Mongolian Tartars!" The three of them touched the bowls, and they all drank it all.

Zhao Xiaoyan smiled bitterly: "I don't know when this endless killing will end! A group of people killed a group of people, and the latter group of people killed the previous group of people, and the people will never be able to live in peace!" Qiao Luo said timidly: "It's not that this hateful Mongolian Tartar is to blame!" Zhao Xiaoyan said: "The Mongolian Tartars are indeed hateful, their way to win the world is to kill people, it is force, but the way we drive them away is also killing!" One day we really drive them away, maybe they will always remember this hatred, and they will also try their courage, and one day they will come back and start killing us Han people endlessly and even more cruelly!"

It was the first time in his life that Jolo had heard this kind of view. He was fascinated by what he heard, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, what should I do then?" Zhao Xiaowan took a sip of wine and said, "Only if one party stops killing and drives away the enemy in other ways, then the enemy will not have great resentment and will not come back." Killings can be avoided and ordinary people can live a good life. ”

Yin Zhengli said: "Although it's not the first time I've heard the idea of the eleventh brother say it, but every time I listen to him, I feel that he is quite right. ”

Zhao Xiaosheng said: "But how many people can do the enemy to kill me, and I don't want to kill in return? Just like this time, when I heard that Yin Cong suffered this ordeal, I immediately wanted to take revenge! This actually means that the enemy killed my relatives, my friends and friends, and my blood is thicker than water has taught me to lose my mind, and it is difficult to drive away the enemy in other ways, but I can only return the enemy with a tooth for a tooth, and also repay the enemy with killing! Just like Zhang Gui and they committed my brother, then I will definitely not be able to stand it, and I will definitely have to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth!"

Qiao Luo timidly knew that Zhao Xiaoyan advocated revenge at that time. When he heard him say this, he couldn't help but be moved by the brotherhood between the heroes of the Zhuhai Society, and he was happy that he had come to such a heroic gang that valued love and righteousness!

Zhao Xiaoyan said: "My hometown was slaughtered, and then I came to the Haihui with Seventh Brother. "In fact, this Zhao Xiaoyan is a kind-hearted person who sees through a lot of things. He and Zhao Ronghe suffered a big change at the same time, but Zhao Ronghe's temperament became very ruthless, and Zhao Xiaoyan's temperament turned indifferent.

After three rounds of drinking, Qiao Luo timidly asked: "Sixth brother, how did you come to the gang?" Yin Zhengli smiled and said, "I am a prisoner!" Qiao Luo said timidly: "I see the ...... above the sixth brother's sideburns" Yin Zhengli said: "There is a thorn mark, right? Hehe, I don't take this mark to heart." ”

It turned out that this Yin Zhengli was a native of Zhongshu Province. He was born into a rather wealthy family of marksmanship, learned marksmanship from an early age, and excelled in martial arts. However, although Yin Zhengli's father has strong martial arts, he is a person with a weak heart, and there will be some famous Han people who also look down on the Yuan court and do not want to work for the Mongols. said that among these Han people who were good friends with Yin Zhengli's father, there was a man named Bi Li, who was Bi Yelai's father. One day, a former classmate of Bi Li, Wu Deyi, came to Bi Li and said that he wanted to ask him to be an official, and it turned out that Wu Deyi himself had already been an official in the court and worked for the Mongols. Although Na Bili disdained Wu Deyi's behavior, he still rejected him with great cultivation. But unexpectedly, Wu Deyi hated Bi Li so much that he was a high man, and even told a Mongolian official about Bi Li's refusal to be an official. When the Mongolian official's name was Ist, he was immediately furious, thinking that the Han people were originally lowly, so how could they have any qualifications to refuse to be officials! At this moment, Naisd saw Bi Li's only daughter, Bi Yelai, who was nineteen years old at the time, and was born to sink into the fish and fall into the geese, and when he saw it, he was shocked and full of anger to kill people dissipated at once, and he actually wanted to marry Bi Yelai as his wife.

Nabi Li had not yet come to his mother-in-law's house at night, and when he heard Ist's words, he could not help but cry out in his heart! How could he bear to let his daughter marry an ungrateful and wolf-like Mongol! But he had no choice but to resign himself to fate. Unexpectedly, at this time, Bi Yelai said without humility or arrogance: "The little woman already has a fiancé, one daughter does not serve the second husband, forgive the little woman for not being able to obey her fate!"

When Esther heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Yelai and said, "You tell me who your fiancé is?" Yelai sneered: "If I tell you, wouldn't you embarrass him!"

Yelai's lips trembled, and she couldn't help biting hard, and her face gradually turned pale. Her eyes were red, but she could see that she was still desperate not to let herself cry in front of the Mongols. She said in a low voice, "If you kill my family, you will get a body of mine, and if you marry me, you will get a body of mine." Isde frowned, but listened to Yelai and continued: "My family and I have done nothing wrong, you came to ask for it today, and you are also a nameless teacher, this section, in your own heart, don't you admit it?" Isde had never seen such a resolute and brave Han woman, and he couldn't help but be more fascinated by Bi Yelai, he said: "I just want to marry you! Tell me who your fiancé is?" Yelai said angrily: "You and I have no true feelings at all, even if we live together, we can't be happy!"

Esther said, "I have true feelings for you, and I will be good to you! You will slowly fall in love with me in the future!"

Isde approached, looked into Yelai's eyes, and asked, "Who is your fiancé?" If you don't say it, I'll teach your whole family to die in front of you!" Yelai was so angry that he trembled, but he couldn't help but sneer: "He said he wanted to be good to me, but he still kept saying that he wanted to kill my whole family!"

Ister said: "If you don't obey me, of course I will kill your whole family! Tell me who your fiancé is?" The mother of the night came crying, "Night come, where did you come from!" Yelai was so angry that she gasped, she said, "If I say it, won't I be sorry for him!"

When Esther heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and he grabbed Bi Li and said, "Don't you say, I'll cut off his flesh piece by piece today." ”

Bi Yelai took the dagger used to decorate the house, took the knife off its sheath sharply, put the dagger across his neck and said: "If you hurt my father in the slightest, I will not dare to live in the world again because of my filial piety!"

Isde looked at the dagger glowing with cold light on Bi Yelai's neck, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly let Bi Li go. When he saw that Bi Yelai was resolute like this, the pity and love in his heart couldn't help but increase even more. He asked, "Who is your daughter's fiancé......?" And I'm not going to embarrass that person. ”

Bi Li didn't know who Yelai had made a private agreement with for life, but he resolutely respected Yelai, and couldn't help but say coldly: "I don't know." ”

Esther was a very clever man, and he had to get the night now, so he could be very patient with her. Seeing that he had nothing to say today, he thought that if he came back in a few days, things might turn around, so he smiled and said to the night, "Okay! If you don't say it, you won't say it, I won't be lucky enough to marry you." I'm leaving!" so he shouted, and all the Yuan soldiers of the Bi family retreated. Naisi got out of the door, turned over his horse, and galloped away without looking back.

Bi Yelai didn't expect that this seemingly fierce and vicious Mongol would let her family go so easily, and couldn't help but freeze in place. She looked back at her mother, whose face was stained with tears, and sighed in her heart: "If he insists on taking the lives of my whole family, how can I bear to let them die in front of me......? But I don't want to sink like this, and I ruined my life with a person I don't love, or a Mongolian Tartar!" When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and sorrow came from it, and she fell by the door and began to cry.

Bi Li said: "Child, he is also gone, don't cry! You saved our family this time, this should be a happy thing!" Night came to wipe away tears, and couldn't help but say: "If this Mongolian Tartar is not removed for a moment, the people will not be able to live a peaceful life for a moment!" The mother who came at night hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth and blamed: "This is also nonsense?"

Bi Li asked, "Come at night, did you casually say that you have a fiancé, or did you really make a private agreement with someone?"

Tears were still on my face at night, and when I heard this question, I couldn't help but hesitate slightly, and lowered my head, but it was tender and silent, and it was moving. Bi Li said: "You name it, let's do your marriage!"

Yelai's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't make a private agreement with anyone for life, but my daughter does admire someone in her heart, but he doesn't know." The mother who came at night asked curiously, "Who is this person?"

Yelai whispered, "You once took your daughter to his house, and he was practicing marksmanship in the courtyard at that time. When he saw us coming, he immediately stopped his gun, and when his father came out to meet us and introduce him, he humbly and politely said, 'I have seen my uncle.' When the night talked about it, her face flew bright, as if the picture was still in front of her eyes, as if the past was yesterday.

Bi Li smiled: "That's my eldest brother Yin's son Yin Zhengli!" came to Wan'er at night and said, "Father knows." That Bi Li stroked his beard and laughed, and said: "It turns out that it is Zhengli who came to see at night! Ye Lai's vision is good! Well, I will pick a time to go over and talk to Brother Yin about this! It seems that Na Zhengli has no marriage with anyone!" Ye Lai's face is like a peach blossom, but she can't hide her joy, she said softly: "Dad, you don't have to be so anxious! Maybe, maybe Yin Zhengli still doesn't agree!" Bi Li said: "Such a good man, if he goes late, I'm afraid my daughter will be lovesick for the rest of her life!" Yelai's face turned red again, but he heard Bi Li smile and said: "My daughter is so good, Yin Zhengli won't disagree! I see that when I went to his house, Yin Zhengli also seemed to like you very much!" Yelai was surprised: "Dad, what you said is true?" Bi Li said: "I see that little bit of meaning!" When Yelai heard this, his heart was about to jump out of his mouth!

I didn't think about it, only three days later, this Bili hadn't arrived at the Yin family to propose marriage, so Isd came again! He didn't bring many people and horses this time, just a few retinues to serve around him. As soon as he entered, he asked Yelai, "Will you tell me who your fiancé is this time?"

Yelai said angrily: "Why did you come to my house again?" Istech laughed: "I am in love with you, I must get you!" He held the big knife beside him and said, "If you don't tell me today, I really can't control this knife!"

Seeing this, the mother of the night came to her knees and cried, "If I say, will you let us go?"

The mother cried at night, "Please don't marry my daughter! As long as you don't marry her, I can tell you who her fiancé is!"

Isde laughed and said, "Yes, I promise you I won't marry her! I want to know who this man is, just to see who has such good luck!"

Bi Li shouted: "He lied to you! You can't say it!" Ye Lai exclaimed: "Mom, who are you going to say!"

Yelai's mother looked at the sharp big knife, her heart was extremely frightened, her mind was a little trance, and she couldn't figure out the clue or think clearly, she said in a trembling voice: "It's Yin Zhengli of the Yin family!"

When I heard it in the night, I screamed, and my face was discolored. Naisd laughed, and did not speak, but turned and went out with his attendants, and heard only a few hooves of horses, which had already ridden away.

Yelai was furious, knelt in front of Bi Li and only said: "Dad, go and save the Yin family!"

When she woke up, it was already early in the morning of the second day, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately asked the maid beside her, regardless of her headache, "Did Dad go to save the Yin family?"

The maid said: "Yesterday, the master was going to find the Yin family, but the lady stopped the master from going out. The old man was so angry that he couldn't breathe after sitting on the chair for a long time, and he fainted. Later, the old man woke up late at night, and the lady saw that the old man was really angry, and she didn't dare to persuade him again, so she went out with the old man. When we served Madame, Madame said that the Mongols had found the Yin family, and had made a charge of 'contempt for the imperial court,' and had raided the Yin family, and had their entire family thrown into prison! Later, the lord inquired about where the Yin family was locked up, so he made the money and went to the prison with his wife to see the Yin family, and the whole Yin family was locked up together, and the master told the Yin family about our family!"

Yelai's heart twitched, she frowned deeply, tears couldn't stop splashing out, she said in a deep voice: "It's clearly ours, why do you want to harm their family? Why do you want to harm their family!" She got out of bed suddenly, but her feet were unsteady and fell to the ground, the maid quickly helped her up, only to see that Yelai's shoulders were trembling, and she actually cried loudly: "It's my fault! It's all my fault! But why should you put their family in prison! Why!" The maid also cried: "Miss, the matter has come to this, take care!" Yelai raised her head suddenly, her eyes were red, and she said angrily: "What should I take care of? I have harmed innocent people to such a situation, and I am already a sinner for the ages!" Yelai cried so much that her eyes turned black, and she shouted: "Hateful Mongolian Tartar! You have killed my world, and you will stretch out your claws to torture my Han people to the point that life is worse than death!"

Yelai cried for a long time, and the maid wiped away her tears, and Yelai choked up and said, "Anyway, if their family has any longs and two shorts, I won't be able to live!" The handmaiden said: "The lord and the lady went out to visit them again before dawn, and inquired about the situation, maybe they will not be sentenced to death!"

Ye Lai said: "I'm so tired that people are like this, I ...... I really don't have the face to live in the world!" she buried her head deep in her lap. Suddenly, she thought that her father had told Yin Zhengli about her love for him last night, and her heart ached, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed in her heart! Thinking that Yin Zhengli might not even be able to remember what she looked like, and she would only not react when she heard that she loved him; not to mention that now that she was so tired that he was in prison, he might have begun to dislike and hate her! When Bi Ye came to think of this, he was really embarrassed!

After some time, Bi Li and his wife returned. Yelai came out of his room and said in a daze: "Dad, Mom, I know everything." What's going on with the Yin family now?" As soon as she mentioned the Yin family, she unconsciously burst into tears.

Na Bili was also haggard, he said: "Child, there is no result yet, I don't know what to do with them!"

Bi Li shook his head and said, "I don't know. If we are condemned to death, I don't think we will live!" he sighed and left.

After more than ten days, the Yin family finally had a result. There was insufficient evidence for the crime of 'contempt for the imperial court', but in order to punish them, only half of the Yin family's property was returned, and they were never allowed to reside in Zhongshu Province;

It turned out that Na Isde still did not let the Yin family suffer the death penalty, not because he did not have so much power, but because he knew that if he did too much, he would definitely not marry him willingly, and if he did this, Bi Yelai, who was worried about the Yin family's suffering, would be like being liberated, and he would be grateful to himself.

After Bi Yelai learned the news, his heart was painful. The Yin family was about to move away, and Bi Li wanted to give all his money to the Yin family, but Yin Zhengli's father insisted that he didn't, and Bi Li had to give up. The Yin family is gone, but Yin Zhengli has not yet set off for Gansu, and Yelai asked him about the day he set off from Zhongshu Province, and she was going to see him that day.

The day Yin Zhengli left, it was a warm and sunny weather. Bi Li insisted that Zhengli, who was wearing shackles, rest his feet in the inn and drink some water, and he also wanted to give some benefits to the soldiers who escorted Yin Zhengli. Bi Li invited the soldiers to another inn, and Yin Zhengli sat alone in this inn. The night was already emaciated, as if a gust of wind could knock her down. She didn't apply powder, only a hairpin, and a package containing some clothes and money. She walked briskly outside the inn, where a large number of people had gathered. But when she was about to go in, she hesitated. How was she going to face him? What reason was she going to say goodbye to him? Was he her fiancé? The thought of this made her feel so bitter that it was nothing but wishful thinking on her own! And in his mind she might be more like an enemy, an enemy tired of the displacement of his whole family, tired of his exile!

She timidly walked through the crowd, not even daring to lift her head. When he came to his side sitting at the table, Yelai almost fell into the ice cave, and he couldn't stop shivering.

She placed the package on the table, and she looked up timidly, and glanced at him hastily, and with a single glance she saw the unhealed wounds on his face, and the spur that would never fade.

She endured the endless pain in her heart like waves, lowered her eyes, let a tear fall on her thin shirt, and said in extremely respectful words: "Young Master Yin, they are all cheap concubines who are tired like this...... The concubine has no face to live in the world anymore, after the son leaves, the concubine should take her own life! But I am afraid that this life is still not enough to wash away the sins of the concubine...... "What the night said is all the truth in her heart, not only because she is too guilty in her heart, but also because if Yin Zhengli is gone, her heart will be like ashes, there is no need to be born in the world again, and live that tasteless life."

Before she finished speaking, she only heard Yin Zhengli's voice sound: "Miss Bi, if you die, I have nothing to live!" There was a trace of tenderness in the desolate voice.
