Chapter 4 Volume 3 Twenty-four Tablets Speak of Evil and Good Thirty-two Horsemen Speak of Loyalty
At the beginning of the day, the hazy fog had not completely dissipated, and the families had already gone to work in the fields. The group passed by various fields along the way, and the fields exuded a fresh earthy smell. The morning of early spring was still a little wet and cold, but most of the men of the families were already working shirtless, and the sweat condensed into white steam on their heads and bodies. Some people saw Lao Huang in between work or those who had met with Lushui and his party yesterday, and waved from afar.
Lu Shui pushed away the big that Yin Nan sent to his shoulder, and said with a face full of indifference: "I'm already a martial arts practitioner, can I still be afraid of the cold?"
Yin Nan said with a smile: "People who practice martial arts are naturally more tolerant of cold and heat than ordinary people, but consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, driving away the cold and avoiding evil are also the basic skills of practicing martial arts. ”
Lao Huang nodded on the side and said, "Brother Yin is right, like when I was young, I also thought I was strong and strong in Northern Xinjiang, and I joked that the men in Northern Xinjiang were heroic and courageous, but as a result, everyone was afraid of cold and cold. As a result, when I came back, I got sick with frostbite and coughed in bed for a long time. ”
When Lu Shui heard this, he honestly put on the big hat, and then began to beg Lao Huang to tell her some stories about the darts back then.
"Girl, you can spare me. Lao Huang rarely saw a look of recognition, and said with a bitter face, "I knew that I wouldn't tell you just now that I walked through the dart back then." ”
Along the way, I told this girl a lot of previous stories, but I don't know how this girl's head looks, and a story can ask ten questions.
Fang Cai Lao Huang said that when he was young, he once walked a dark dart to Kanto, and he took the line that he had not walked, and he sent an ivory box half a foot square, a gratuity of 500 taels, and a cargo insurance policy of more than 3,000 taels. Lao Huang Silai thought that the name of going to the Yanguan Dart Bureau was afraid that it would not be useful, so he decided not to play the flag, not to shout, not to drive, and to take a trip to hide the goods by pretending to be a woodcutter. I didn't dare to live in a store all the way.
It was by virtue of this dart that the name of the Yanguan Dart Bureau was launched, and Lao Huang also took over his father's position and became the head of the dart bureau and the leader of the thirteen dart bureaus in Hanzhong.
Lu Shui frowned and asked, There are many locust trees in Guanzhong, and there are many elm trees in Kanto, uncle, you are carrying locust tree firewood in Kanto, what if someone with a heart is suspicious.
The so-called unintentional listener has a heart, this story Lao Huang bragged to others after dinner, and now he was called out by a little girl, which couldn't help but make Lao Huang break out of a cold sweat more than 20 years ago, and he was even more faintly afraid when he thought about it.
Walking to the entrance of the village, Lao Huang stretched out his hand and pointed: "The left is the official road when you came, and the trail on the right is the road up the mountain. ”
Seeing that he had to wait for someone to come down to answer before he could go up the mountain, Lu Shui had to sit on the ground on the side, holding the pine nuts that Huang stuffed before going out with both hands and eating non-stop. In the end, it is the mentality of the little daughter, who only sat on the tea and couldn't be idle, looked around, and suddenly saw the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, approached it, and gradually became obsessed with the words on the stone tablet.
There are twenty-eight characters on the stele, full of bohemian and uninhibited, and the handwriting is beautiful and noble, but it seems to hide a bit of murderous aura. The font is not chiseled, not grinded, not etched, not engraved, and it is like mercury pouring into the ground overnight. Lu Shui thought that he couldn't write such words on the best rice paper with a lake pen, and it was like a craftsman using a magic weapon to wave on this stone tablet.
"What I said earlier, the old man has his own elements of boasting. Lao Huang saw that Lu Shui was interested in this stele, so he approached and sighed: "When this stele was completed, the old man saw it with his own eyes and didn't dare to talk nonsense." ”
"I heard Uncle Yin talk about this monument, saying that it was erected by the current head of Sanqingmen. And the rain white and tender little hand across the rough stone tablet, between the lines are all shortness of breath dizzy, the whole book has three "over" words but the artistic conception is different, or compassion and goodness, or punishment and punishment, or killing and decisive. When it is soft, it is like the sea like the rising sun, when it is punished, it is like a thundercloud like a war drum, and when it is killed, it is like a knife lock like a yin. Gentle kindness envelops the killing and sword, like the yin and yang of Tai Chi skillfully fused together. I don't know what kind of heart the person who wrote the book had all kinds of thoughts and thoughts at that time.
When Lu Shui was young, he heard the nurse at home tell many stories about the underworld, and his favorite was the Ming Spiegel Division where King Qin Guang sat down to reward the good and punish the evil. The nurse was a victim who was abducted and sold to the land of fireworks, and was rescued by Lushui's father, and when she saw Lushui's bright and upright view, she was overjoyed and said: "Miss is kind-hearted and knows right from wrong, and she will be blessed in the next life." Yan Bi remembered what happened to him and sighed: "It's a pity that the real justice in this world can only be seen after people die." ”
Lao Huang tightened his clothes, and now he feels thrilled when he thinks about the events of the year, what he heard and saw in a few hours that day was more surprising than what he had experienced in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years before, and when he saw Lu Shui raising his head and asking with an inquiring face, he proposed.
"That year, the Khitan pressed the border, and there were many wars at the border. One day, a team of defeated horses came to Dayuan Village, and the leader was none other than the second son of the Huang family of my dynasty, Huang Zheng, the son of Huang Dingguo, the generalissimo of the dynasty, nicknamed General Fei. It turned out that the Changshan Pass where Huang Zheng was stationed was lost, and on the day the city was broken, he desperately led a team of horsemen to break through. It took a hundred and twenty miles to get rid of the pursuers. ”
"There are many righteous soldiers in our village, and General Huang stayed for a day to recuperate, General Huang didn't want to disturb the villagers, but he saw that the soldiers were sleepy and lacking and all of them were injured. On the same day, they stayed in Dayuan Village, and the women and children of each family came out to help rescue the wounded and bandage their wounds. Speaking of this, Lao Huang seemed to remember something, and sighed in admiration: "That Xiao Huang is really a first-class man in the world, he is carrying several arrows, and a wound on his left arm is deep to the bone, and he is willing to treat himself until all the soldiers are bandaged."
It was my old Huang who treated his wounds. I dug eleven iron arrows out of him with a sharp knife, and he didn't even gasp for breath, let alone screaming.
It is taboo for the defeated army to travel at night, General Huang originally planned to go on the road in the morning, but how did he think that after only three watches, the Khitan iron cavalry would catch up!"
Lu Shui exclaimed in surprise when he heard the words "Ah!", there were tigers and wolves in front of him and no reinforcements in the back, and most of the people in the village were peasant men who had never used knives and guns in their lives, which was almost a certain death. "Everyone in the village is well-intentioned, who would have thought that they would come to this field!"
"Yes, you girl is quick-witted, and it took me many days before I thought that if we didn't leave General Fei. I don't think he will suffer this kind of war. Lao Huang's face turned blue, his face was full of frustration and remorse, "After that day, I felt deep regret for so many years, and I couldn't sleep at night, this loyal man was actually mistaken by me!"
"There are 200 iron horsemen who came to Dayuan Village, and the leader of the troops is Yelu Tianyan, the fourth prince of the Khitan. Lao Huang picked up the sweat towel hanging around his neck and wiped his forehead, "All the villagers are hiding in the house, and I Lao Huang has the courage to go up and ask questions." Na Yelu Tianyan waved his long whip and said, 'Call General Na Fei to come out and answer me.' ’”
"I saw that the little yellow general, wearing silver armor and carrying a spear, and the silver helmet was not worn but carried in his left hand, and he stepped forward and said: 'Yelu Tianyan, today I defeated your hands, not because of the destiny of heaven, but because my skills are not as good as others, and now you can take my good head to the emperor of Liao to receive a reward. But I beg you to bypass me, dozens of soldiers, who have been with me for many years like my flesh and blood, and today because of my defeat, they are here to the point of death. It's my fault, and they don't deserve it. I promise that they will retire to the countryside and never enter the battlefield. ’
Na Yelu Tianyan raised his whip and smiled: "Brother Huang said that it was funny, you are familiar with the art of war, have you ever seen the truth of not killing or surrendering the tiger to return to the mountain, these soldiers are all the humerus generals of your flying expeditionary army, if you leave one, it will be my Da Liao's hands, feet and flesh and blood that will be bled in the future." After that, he turned over and dismounted, and confronted General Xiaohuang, and the old man had to see him closely, which was no different from the most vicious wolf he had ever seen in the mountains.
Then Yelu said, 'I have a plan, if you depend on me, I will spare you dozens of soldiers.' General Huang asked, 'How?' Yelu Tianyan replied, 'If you are willing to surrender, why should I spare them, and if you have to fly the general alone, it is better to have a million male soldiers?'"
Green Water was stunned when he heard it. Hurriedly interjected: "The relationship between these two people is not like you are an enemy to the death, but like a chessboard against chess players." ”
Lao Huang said: "It's not, it turns out that these two people have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and they are of the same age, and they both use fast soldiers and surprise attacks, plus Nayelu Tianyan loves the Central Plains culture, unlike other Liao Kou who regard the people of the Central Plains as dogs." Over time, there was a sense of sympathy. Now that General Huang is defeated, the emperor of Liao has offered a reward of 100 gold to fly the general's head, but this Yelu Tianyan can't bear to kill him.
Look at this little Huang General and said with a smile: "Brother Yelu also laughed, my Huang family has been a general, my grandfather is the loyal prince of the dynasty, the second master is posthumously called the loyal martyr, and the father is loyal to the dynasty." The saint raised love and sealed a loyal word for our Huang family, the descendants of the Huang family who died on the battlefield are common, and the descendants of the Huang family who surrendered in defeat have you seen?'
When Yelu Tianyan heard this, he lowered his head and clenched his fists, and said, "It's in Xia Menglang." He was bowing his head and admitting his mistake.
General Huang said: "Since Brother Yelu is difficult for me, then I am also embarrassed for you." Suddenly, he turned back and shouted to his soldiers: 'After you wait, you can only enter the farm, spinning, and workman.' If there is another person who joins the army, he will not be allowed to meet me under the Huangquan Road!' Then he turned around and shouted: 'Seven feet of body! Xu Guo today! ”
Green Water could hear it, and I don't know when the corners of his eyes were soaked with tears. took the handkerchief handed by the accompanying maid and muttered: "On the death festival of the dying countryman, he can die like this, and he has no regrets in his heart." ”
"That's right, if I Lao Huang is about to die and a few children grow up, I will also go to the battlefield and bite off a piece of meat from Liao Dog, which is better than burying it in the soil and becoming food for snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Besides, this Yelu Tianyan saw that General Fei was dead, and he stood dead, looking at the southwest angrily, and couldn't help but feel compassion. The horsewhip was raised above his head and waved, but he wanted to let go of the remaining soldiers, and he didn't even have the intention of taking General Fei's corpse back to receive the reward. On the side of the formation, he stepped out of the army, pretending to be a prison soldier, and said with a sneer: "These people are the remnants of the Flying Expeditionary Army, and letting one go will be a big trouble for my Da Liao in the future!
Yelu Tianyan glared angrily, 'Don't think that because you are sent by Jerod as a ghost, you are qualified to point fingers at me!'
"General Yelu!" suddenly a person spoke up here, and it was Huang Zheng's deputy general Sun Sheng, who injured his right leg when he broke through before, and stood up with difficulty and said, "I thank General Yelu for his righteousness on behalf of the general." But if the Huang family is dead, we can't die? On the battlefield, we have always used soldiers to protect the commander, how can there be a reason for the commander to die and the soldier to live?'
After that, the head grabbing in his hand turned around and shouted: "The general walks slowly, the Huangquan Road is long and wait for us!"
Listening to Lao Huang talk about this, Lu Shui and the maid were already pale, and there were thousands of words in their chests but they were like a fish in their throats, although they had long known that the battlefield was tragic, but they didn't expect that the soul of the soldier was so shocked, and their hearts were burning with pain like fire. Even the corners of Yin Nan's eyebrows, who were standing on the side without smiling, trembled slightly, and he could see that he was not at peace in his heart.
The blood on the ground flowed wantonly, frantically encroaching on the yellow land, and Yelu Tianyan's face was pale, and he turned around and was about to withdraw his army. The prison army dared to step forward at this time and tease the tiger's beard, and said: "The four princes really have a great relationship with this Huang Zheng, and the people of this village will definitely sing it as a good story for a long time when they see such a scene." The implication is to slaughter the village!
Yelu Tianyan's face had turned from blue to black, and he sneered: "Yelu Chenggui has planted you stupid man in our army, just like cow dung and horse manure!
The prison soldier was faced, gritted his teeth and was ruthless, there was a little girl in our village who walked out of the house without watching it, and was seen by the prison army. He sneered and said, "The Eagle Master of the Four Princes naturally doesn't dare to command, but for just one rural village, my dozen or so guards accompanying me are enough!"
Yelu Tianyan turned around and exclaimed, "You!" I saw that the overseer took out the saber at his waist and drove the horse forward, and slashed at the female doll on the head!
Exactly: the loyal liver and the righteous courage to go to the tiger, how can the little hungry wolf come. If you want to know what happens next, and listen to me next time. n(≖^≖)
