Chaoping didn't even have the freedom to walk in the Liao camp, he had always been tied there, for seven or eight days in a row, Chaoping didn't see anyone come to rescue him, and he couldn't think of any way to escape in this desert, he thought of dying in the past, his hope for survival was very strong, but if it came to the time when Yelu Xiuqi forced the old general to submit, Chaoping had no choice but to die, thinking of this he was very helpless.

The soldiers and horses sent out by the old general were almost back, and the old general also knew where Chaoping was, but it was too far away for him to go to the rescue, so he had to delay time and make another plan. In the Liao army, Yelu Xiuqi was planning to negotiate with the old general, and Zabako was studying with Yelu Xiuqi when and how to go to the Song camp to find the old general.

"Zha Junshi, come with me to see this little general of the Song family, hahaha. "After discussing the matter of negotiating with the Song army, Yelu Xiuqi and everyone said to Zabako that he wanted to go and see Chaoping. They came to Chaoping's camp, they had already guessed the intention of coming to see him this time, they must have thought about how to deal with his grandfather, he was thinking that in this case, he would find a chance to die. Yelu Xiuqi said: "How are you doing in my barracks, you little doll of the Song army. He said to Chaoping with irony. Chaoping ignored him, he told Chaoping how to deal with his grandfather, Chaoping laughed when he heard this, and said to him: "You are so despicable, I have heard of it a long time ago, and now that I have become your prisoner, I don't think about these things, because this is not something I can control, do you think that it would be better if you brought my handwritten letter to my grandfather." When Yelu Xiuqi heard this, he said, "Okay, I didn't expect you to think so much about us, come here, untie him." "Yelu Xiuqi knows that Chaoping's appearance will not pose a threat to himself, he is just a weak scholar. Chaoping has been tied to the pillar for several days, and the moment he was put down, the whole person didn't move much, moved his wrists and neck, saw the paper and pen on the table next to him, and looked at Yelu Xiuqi and them, and then he suddenly hit the pillar behind him, but he didn't expect to hit it this time, and he was kicked to the ground by Yelu Xiuqi, and Chaoping couldn't move. Jelushuqi said: "I have long seen that you are not honest, but I don't know what you want to do, I didn't expect you to think about it, have the courage to die, come on, tie him up." After saying that, Yelu Xiuqi left, in fact, he didn't need any letters, as long as there was Chaoping, Chaoping was particularly lost this time, life here is better than death, there is no hope of death, usually even the mouth will be tightly gagged, there are people watching when eating, and any abnormal departure will stop him.

One evening, a soldier came in to feed Chaoping, who looked at him differently from the previous soldiers, and wondered if he had changed the guards. Chao Ping'an quietly finished eating, because he knew that if he didn't eat, he would suffer more, he was not afraid of death, but he didn't reach the end of the mountain, if the Liao army used him, he would kill him, so he felt that one more day of life was a day, after all, he was the hope of the Li family. The man didn't leave after feeding him, but said to him inexplicably: "Childe, please rest well, someone will come to the rescue in half an hour." Chaoping was shocked, this person was not speaking Khitan but Turkic, Chaoping said: "How do you know that I know Turkic." The man said: "The third son of the Li family has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his talents are outstanding, and he can speak barbarian words, and no one in the world knows these things." "He is right, most of the northern tribes' voices Chaoping can speak, because the Li family has been fighting for generations, so there are many people in the army who can speak these voices, so Chaoping learned these things from them when he was a child. Chao Pingzai looked at the man carefully, saw the beast tooth accessories around his neck, seemed to think of something, and said, "You are the person of the Eighteen Riders of Youyun." The man said: "The young general is right, I am the person in the eighteen horsemen of Youyun, the second in line, thank you for saving your life that day, we recently heard that you were taken captive into the Liao camp by gangsters, and today we are here to rescue." When Chaoping heard him say this, he burst into tears instantly, as if he saw hope, and hurriedly thanked him. The man said, "Don't worry, Childe, our eighteen brothers have come here, although we have been in the Liao army for a long time, but they have not seen our true faces, and when it gets dark, we will kill them together." ”

It was getting dark, and I heard someone shouting outside, "It's on fire, it's on fire." At this time, the man untied the rope on Chaoping's body, and then he was going to take Chaoping away, but he didn't expect that two soldiers came in at this time to check the camp, only to see that person pull out the scimitar on his waist and rush forward, and only used one move, the two people fell to the ground, and a blood stain appeared on the necks of the two soldiers. Chaoping knew that his skill had reached a very powerful point, and he had been killed before he could even react to fight back. The man took Chaoping's arm, they did not go to the main gate, but cut a cut with a knife at the back of the camp, and then walked out, at this time there were three black-clothed people on horseback on the left rushed over, and dragged Chaoping on the horse, after the second child was broken, a whistle sounded and ran over a jujube red horse, only to see the second child turn over on the horse, and kill it with the team, the Liao army was killed and injured countless when chasing and killing behind, and soon Chaoping they ran away.

Chaoping saw that he was saved, and hurriedly thanked the eighteen horsemen of the clouds, and they said to Chaoping, this is the depths of the desert, and it is too far to return to the Song army, and they want Chaoping to live here with a few people, and then they escort Chaoping back to the Song army camp. Chaoping knew that he couldn't go back, but he was so anxious that he continued to ask for the eighteen horsemen of Youyun, hoping to go back immediately, because he knew that if the Liao army was in a hurry and immediately threatened his grandfather, then the old general would be very difficult to ride a tiger. Later, Youyun Eighteen Cavalry said to Chaoping: "Don't worry, Childe, we can fly pigeons and pass the book over." Chaoping was puzzled and asked, "Where can your pigeons fly?" They said: "There is an inn sixty miles outside the Yanmen Pass, where there is one of our slaves, we hijacked a caravan, just rescued him and let him go, let him agree to be our informant, now we can pass the news to him, let him go on a trip, it is only more than 100 miles away from the Song army camp, and it will be delivered soon if you ride a horse." Chaoping heard them say this, and he knew the bottom of his heart, and said to them: "It's good to do this first, thank you." With that, he knelt down to the Eighteen Riders of the Clouds, and then he was pulled up. In the months that followed, Chaoping spent time with the Eighteen Riders of the Clouds.

One night, nineteen of them were chatting around the bonfire, and Chaoping asked, "I thought you would all be very old, but I didn't expect to be the same age as mine, and I really didn't expect that the eighteenth rider of Youyun who made the world frightened was actually a person in his twenties." "Youyun Eighteen Cavalry told Chaoping that their organization is just as Chaoping knows, they have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, and they were only three or four years old when their master accepted them, and they have been wearing this black robe since they began to learn art, so they have seen their true faces in the world, and Chaoping is alone in their generation. The boss of the Eighteen Riders of Youyun told Chaoping the story of their Eighteen Riders of Youyun, they were orphans from a young age, and they were selected by their master to inherit the Eighteen Riders of Youyun, they are not like other organizations, train a lot of children, and finally choose the best from them, but they are all selected in advance, and then according to their different characteristics to learn martial arts and specialties, when their master will accept apprentices, it depends on when they plan to withdraw from the rivers and lakes, or when they are old, they will accept apprentices a few years or even more than ten years in advance to inherit their organization。 Chaoping listened attentively, this boss is the person Chaoping bit before, he told Chaoping that they don't have names, they usually call each other by rank, such as the boss, the ninth, the second or something. It was the second child who saved Chaoping in the camp before, he was the best martial artist here, and the boss himself was the best archery, what Chaoping didn't expect was that the eighteenth was a woman, and everyone called her the eighteenth. They are called brothers, and when the eldest is twelve years old, they have almost learned their martial arts, and they have held one of the most important ceremonies of the organization, and they have become brothers with each other, and they have shared blessings and hardships, and they have indeed done it, and Chaoping witnessed their friendship when he was in Fencheng. After that, the boss introduced these eighteen brothers from beginning to end, and what skills they have. They chatted for a long time, the moon hung high in the sky, and the boss said to Chaoping: "Our brother has long heard of Gongzi Gaoyi, since the last time you saved us and got along with you in the past few days, we all admire you very much, you are kind and resourceful, I am afraid that you will inherit the position of marshal of the Li family in the future, although you are full of military books, but you do not know martial arts, our brothers are willing to follow you, you are willing." Chaoping was very moved to see them like this, and was stunned for a moment and said: "You are my savior, how can you do this, but if you don't dislike it, I am still very willing to become brothers outside of the name of the Eighteen Riders of Youyun, I see that all the brothers are chivalrous and courageous, and I hope to be your brothers, and this is enough." The boss said, "Son, you think this is good, we still follow you, and we are brothers." Chaoping thought that it would be a pleasure to have such a group of heroic brothers, so he agreed. The next day, in the middle of the desert, they knelt in a row, twisted the soil for incense and worshiped as brothers. Since then, the Youyun soldiers call Chaoping the master, they are also very obedient to Chaoping, their feelings are like brothers, they are easy to see on the outside, but internally they are good brothers who do not distinguish each other. Chaoping told them not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and the boss also told Chaoping that they were also very helpless at that time, this is the law of survival in the desert, they did kill a lot of innocent people, but sometimes for the sake of prestige and survival, they promised Chaoping that they would never kill anyone indiscriminately in the future.
