Chapter 11: The Ballad
Everyone in the courtyard really didn't expect that this sword-wielding man in black was so cowardly, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants before he could be interrogated, and everyone present felt funny. The one-eyed scarface was a rough man, and he couldn't see such a timid man like a mouse, and saw that the sword-wielding man in black was trembling like a lost dog, so he scolded angrily: "Bad seed, if you dare to stab, how can you look like this?"
The black-clothed man with the sword no longer had the aura of the sword before, trembling and hurriedly getting up and kowtowing to the Eight Great King Kong and Yinran: "Ah grandfathers, grandfathers... The little body can't help himself, grandfathers. ”
Yin Yichen also came over at this time and asked, "What kind of body is involuntarily involuntary? Who caused you to fall to the bottom?"
The man in black with the sword said: "The little master spares his life, the little master spares his life, the little one can't say it..."
The woman in red, who had been the messenger of the Nine Sections Whip, was about thirty years old, and saw that the man in black with the sword was so virtuous, and she was very impatient when she spoke, so she snatched the short sword from the hand of the short camel without saying a word, and pulled the left ear of the man in black with the sword. Seeing the blue light flashing, the man in black with the sword was left with only one ear, and the red blood flowed down his cheeks, and he screamed "ah", and rolled on the ground, looking extremely painful.
The woman in red said gloomily, "Hmph... Say yes or no?"
The black-clothed man with the sword was completely frightened, and hurriedly got up from the ground, covering the wound with one hand and said, "Grandma spares my life, grandma spares my life, it was Ah Chitu who sent me." ”
When everyone heard Ah Chitu's name, they were frightened. Unexpectedly, Ah Chitu had such skills and courage, and actually came to spy on Taiyuan in person, which is really admirable.
Yimeng asked, "Ah, who is Chitu?"
Zhou Jinyu has lived in Saibei since he was a child, and he is very familiar with Ah Chitu, who is the leader of the Tatars, and several of his uncles used to follow his father to attack the Tatars but did not come back, and died in the hands of Ah Chitu. The Tatars, under the leadership of Achitu, have surpassed Warat and are the main opponents of the Ming Dynasty in the north. Zhou Jinyu hated Ah Chitu because this young Tatar leader did not know how many Ming Zhongliang had killed. It's just that Zhou Jinyu didn't expect to meet A Chitu here, but he was not Ah Chitu's opponent at all.
Zhou Jinyu saw his cousin ask about Ah Chitu and said: "Ah Chitu is the leader of the Tatars, I didn't expect him to be so powerful in martial arts." ”
Yimeng was really taken aback, the leader of the outside of the plug came, and he was fighting against her father, so she had to worry.
The black-clothed man with the sword was still kneeling on the ground trembling, and his emotions did not calm down in the slightest, and Yin Ran said in a deep voice: "Ah Chitu and you visited my General Soldier's Mansion late at night, what do you want? ”
When the man in black with the sword heard that he was alive, he seemed to see hope, and his frightened voice revealed a hint of surprise: "Grandpa Xie is gracious, the little one must explain truthfully." ”
The sword-wielding man in black continued: "Back to Grandpa's words, um... Uh-huh..."He actually hesitated for a moment before he said, "Hmm... The little one is called Zhang San, and the little one has been following Ah Chitu Khan..."
The one-eyed Scarface glared angrily at the man in black who called himself Zhang San.
The man in black, who claimed to be Zhang San, hurriedly changed his words: "Ah no, no, no, the little one was captured by Ah Chitu's dog thief." His words were abruptly interrupted by the one-eyed Scarface, who slapped him in the face with a resounding slap.
The one-eyed scarface said: "If you don't tell the truth again, Lao Tzu wants your dog's life!"
Now the man in black who calls himself Zhang San feels that if he doesn't tell the truth, he is afraid that he will really ask someone to take his life, so he kowtowed his head again and said: "The little one doesn't dare, Grandpa Qiu spares his life, the little one's real name is Ouyang De, last autumn, the Tatar tribe ran out of food, Ah Chitu personally led the troops to Ningxia Town to loot the grain and grass, I went out with my Ming army to meet the Tatars, and the army was defeated and taken captive." ”
Ouyang De seemed to remember something and said: "Chief Soldier Yin, Mingjian! I suspect that the deputy chief soldier of Ningxia Town Guard, Bibai, is secretly communicating with Tatars, and Na Bibai himself is a Mongolian Tatar, he must have deliberately defeated Ah Chitu and gave away the grain, grass and ordnance." ”
Yin Ran said angrily: "Presumptuous! How can you casually frame General Bibai? ”
Ouyang De said: "Yes, yes, the little one doesn't dare to frame General Bibai." After the defeat of the Ningxia Campaign, in order to let the large army withdraw smoothly, the small one stayed behind the palace to cover, but he was caught up by the little one and captured the little one. At that time, the little one felt that 'stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood', so he temporarily agreed to him in order to serve the Ming Dynasty again in the future. Now I finally see the general soldier Yin, and ask the general soldier to be gracious, and the little one is willing to follow the general and serve the general. As he spoke, he burst into tears, as if he had a stomach full of grievances.
Yin Ran said: "Don't talk nonsense, what's the use of me keeping you?"
Ouyang De said: "I make cattle and horses for the general..."
Yin Ran said: "Shut up, tell me what you and that Chitu want to come to my general army's mansion?"
Ouyang De said: "That A red rabbit ghost is confused, he actually wants to lead the army south to attack the Beijing division in order to restore the prosperity of the former Great Yuan, the day before yesterday he heard that the Taiyuan general general has a collection of songs and ballads in your house, what is it called "Baked Cake Song", he said that this collection of songs can predict a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years. He is almost crazy if he wants to be the emperor now, he wants to get this "Song of Baked Cakes" to launch its chances, and he even wants to tamper with the will of heaven, which is really like a fool's dream. ”
Yin Ran saw that Ouyang De actually mentioned "Song of Baked Cakes", so he didn't ask any more and ordered his subordinates: "Escort down, don't kill him first, give me good life to take care of, this person is very good at light skills, and he must not let him run away." ”
After a toss, it's already the third watch. After everyone dispersed, Yinran changed Zhou Jinyu's house. Because Zhou Jinyu was assassinated on the first day he came to his house, Yinran sat with him for a while, and Yichen and Yimeng were also there.
Yimeng asked, "Hey, Daddy, what kind of ballad is the "Baked Cake Song" that Ouyang De said just now? Why haven't I seen it?"
Yichen also said: "Yes, why have my little sister and I never heard anyone recite it." ”
Yinran looked at Zhou Jinyu and asked, "Jinyu, have you heard of "Song of Baked Cakes"?"
Zhou Jinyu said: "The child has never heard of it, and I asked my uncle for advice." ”
Yinran saw that there was no one outside the window, so he told Zhou Jinyu and Yichen and Yimeng brothers and sisters about the ins and outs of this "Song of Baked Cakes": "Not long after the founding of Taizu, the world was decided, and he discussed the fortune of the Ming Dynasty with the national teacher Liu Bowen. Taizu asked Liu Ji what happened in the future generations, and gave Liu Ji a gold medal on the spot. Liu Ji leaked that although he wanted to lose his life, he had to say it, so he told more than 40 hidden songs to Taizu. After hearing this, Taizu sighed, 'Since ancient times, there has been withered glory, there are no immortal things in the world, and the world is not the world of one person. It is said that at that time, Taizu already knew when my Ming Kingdom had arrived. Moreover, this "Song of Baked Cakes" can calculate the events of thousands of years in the future, which is not trivial. Therefore, there is only one copy circulating in this river. ”
Yin Yichen asked: "Then is the strange book really in our house today? Why haven't my sister and I ever seen it?"
Yin Ran said: "How can such things be kept in this war-torn land here? I have indeed been in the house for a while, I really can't rest assured, and I have already sent someone to secretly transfer it away. ”
Yimeng asked, "Where did Daddy go?"
Yin Ran felt that his baby daughter was really spoiled, so he said, "What do girls know so much?"
Yimeng heard that his father didn't want to reveal that he was troublesome, and he lost face in front of his brothers, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, so he pouted and muttered: "People are curious to ask! If you don't say it, you don't say it, who has to know?"
Zhou Jinyu was a little embarrassed when she saw that her cousin had touched a nail, so she relieved the siege and said, "Yes, this "Song of Baked Cakes" is very important, and it is indeed inappropriate to put it outside this Saibei Pass, my uncle must have a reason if he doesn't say it, and my sister shouldn't be angry." ”
Yimeng defended: "Who wants to be angry with him!"
Yinran saw that the sky was nearly four watches, and the jade rabbit fell westward, so he beckoned everyone to rest as soon as possible, and said to Zhou Jinyu when he left: "Jinyu, you have to rest well, and tomorrow your uncle will take you to see someone." ”
Zhou Jinyu asked, "Who is my uncle taking me to?"
Yin Ran said: "Haha, don't be anxious, you'll know when you see it tomorrow." With that, he closed the door for Zhou Jinyu.
