Chapter Ninety-One: Heading to Yingzhou

The age difference between the seven swords of Xishu is eleven or twelve years, the eldest Yu Hengzi has just turned forty-one years old this year, and the youngest Tianshuzi is only twenty-nine years old this year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThey have practiced their own internal skills since childhood, and all of them should not be underestimated, although there is only a blunt sword by their side, they can sharpen iron like clay, and the robbers and thieves meet them, so they are afraid to avoid it.

Wang Chonghan listened to their introduction and said, "A few uncles, I already knew that you were so powerful, how dare the little nephew do anything with you?"

Yu Hengzi said with a smile: "Nephew Wang Xian, you are less than fifteen years old, you do have such agile skills, you must usually work hard, and if you see a real person in Xiaosan another day, I must praise you well." Wang Chonghan hurriedly waved his hand and said pleadingly: "Uncle Yuhengzi, you must not mention this matter to my master, if his old man knows that I have offended you, he will not let me go easily." Yu Hengzi was stunned in his heart and said, "You and I are just learning martial arts, how can your master be strange?"

Wang Chonghan said: "A few of you are the distinguished guests of my Firmament Sect, you have come all the way from Shu, I couldn't come forward to welcome you, but I fought with Uncle Kaiyangzi, do you say that after my master knows, will he be angry?" Kaiyangzi joked: "If I were your master, I would have been angry with you a long time ago!" Several other people laughed after hearing this.

Wang Chonghan was silent, ashamed in his heart, and thought: "I am usually rude and reckless, and I can't think about things calmly when I encounter them. When you meet a martial arts master today, how can you not suffer?" He was dejected, and suddenly heard Yu Hengzi say: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense, Wang Xian's nephew is angry with you." Wang Chonghan hurriedly said: "The little nephew is not angry, don't misunderstand, uncle." ”

Yu Hengzi said: "This time I went north all the way to the twists and turns, and today I finally arrived in Zhaozhou and met the disciples of Xiaosan Zhenren." It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so we should leave immediately and go to Yingzhou. ”

Several other people responded: "Since the eldest brother said it, let's set off." The group walked out the door, untied their horses, turned over, and prepared to set off again.

Wang Chonghan had no mount to ride, and stood alone at the door at a loss. Yu Hengzi walked over with his black horse and said, "Nephew Wang Xian, we don't have extra horses, if you don't dislike it, just ride a horse with me, what do you think?" Wang Chonghan nodded and agreed, and said gratefully: "Uncle, you are too good to me." Yu Hengzi stretched out his hand, pulled him onto his horse, and then waved his whip and galloped towards the north.

On the way, Wang Chonghan learned why Xishu Qidao delayed his trip. It turned out that the people north of the Yellow River heard that the Khitan army had attacked the Jin State again, and they fled to the south with their families. They passed by Kaifeng Mansion and did not dare to stop, so they went all the way to the southwest and fled to the border of Shu and Nanping. In order to prevent the influx of displaced people from the Jin Kingdom, the border guards of Shu State have deployed heavy troops in various passes. Xishu Qidao had just walked to the border of the Jin Kingdom, but learned that the pass had been closed. They had to make a detour to Nanping and enter the Jin Kingdom from Fangzhou.

Since Yu Hengzi and others entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom, they saw that the people of the Central Plains were displaced, and they were not as peaceful as the people of Shu State, and they had a deep feeling, and thought: "Since the founding of the Jin State, in just ten years, it has fought with the Khitan three times, although it is a fluke to win, but the national strength is seriously consumed, I don't know if it can withstand the Khitan attack this time." ”

The next day, when the group arrived in Dingzhou, they saw that the houses in the suburbs were burned to ashes, and the old, weak, sick and disabled people were hungry and cold. Although the Khitan has been retreating for several days, the people here are still in shock. Both sides of the official road were densely packed with the graves of Xinlei, and Yu Hengzi thought to himself: "The emperor of the Khitan came to the Jin Kingdom to fight for land, what is the crime of the people here? ”

Yu Hengzi couldn't help the resentment in his heart, and said to the rest of the people: "Look at it, these are all good deeds done by the Khitan barbarians! Houses can be rebuilt after they are burned, but how can people be reborn when they die? The Khitan people do not understand benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and wisdom, and think that conquest is killing. What a mistake!"

Yu Hengzi asked Wang Chonghan to take out the dry food on the horse and put it on the dry grass on the side of the road. Kaiyangzi, Shaoguangzi, Tianquanzi, Tianjizi, Tianxuanzi and Tianshuzi sat on their horses, and when they saw the behavior of their eldest brother, they were quite moved in their hearts, and they took out their food and gently put it on the grass.

When the hungry people saw the food, their eyes lit up, and they ran over to fight for it. They grabbed the dry food from the ground and stuffed it into their mouths with the dry grass.

Yu Hengzi glanced at everyone, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "It seems that they haven't eaten for many days. What a pitiful thing!" Wang Chonghan asked softly: "Uncle, since the Khitan has already withdrawn from the army, why is the Jin army still unwilling to come to save the people?" ”

Yu Hengzi thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "The commander of the Jin army has failed to live up to the ardent expectations of the people, and sooner or later he will be punished by heaven. After saying that, he glanced at the hungry people on the side of the road, saw that they were kneeling and kowtowing to him, and hurriedly said, "Everyone, get up quickly! ”

Those hungry people prostrate on the ground and said, "Thank you for your grace today!" Yu Hengzi replied: "Just a little favor, why worry about it!" One of the hungry people asked, "You are heading north, but where are you going?" Yu Hengzi said indifferently: "We are going to Yingzhou." ”

When the hungry people heard this, they were shocked and said, "You must not go! The Khitan army is stationed in Yingzhou, and if you collide with them, you will be in danger." ”

Kaiyangzi said confidently: "Thank you for reminding us, we know that there are tigers in the mountains, and we prefer to go to the tiger mountains!" Those hungry people were full of doubts, and several other people raised their knives in their hands and said loudly: "Don't worry, we are not fools! ”

Those hungry people saw that these people looked calm, and there was no fear on their faces, thinking that they had not yet fought with the Khitan army, and they didn't know how powerful they were, so they reminded: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Khitan people are fierce and vicious, you have to be more careful!" Yu Hengzi and the others arched their hands and said: "Thank you for your concern, we still have something to do, take care." ”

The hungry people stood up one after another, looked at the backs of the group in the distance, and sighed: "They are really good people, I hope they can be safe." ”

Xishu Qidao and Wang Chonghan rode a fast horse, but in one day, they left the border of the Jin Kingdom and came to Yingzhou in the sixteen states of Yanyun. As soon as the group walked dozens of miles, they found several Khitan soldiers coming from the opposite side.

Yu Hengzi reined in his horse and said to the people behind him: "The Khitan soldiers are coming, everyone cheer up." Several other people subconsciously touched the big knife on their waists.
