Chapter 56: The True Identity of the Sweeping Monk
Qiao Feng always thought that his biological father had jumped off a cliff and died thirty years ago, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yuanshan not only did not die, but also became the king of the Southern Courtyard who was in charge of half of the soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom.

"As the leader of the beggar gang, I have always helped the Great Song Dynasty resist the Khitan invasion...... But I didn't expect that Dad, you are not only a Khitan, but also an important minister of the Liao State......"
At this time, Qiao Feng's heart was full of contradictions, and he didn't know how to deal with himself between Song and Liao.
Although the elders and disciples of the beggar gang all supported him to continue to be the leader of the beggar gang as a Khitan, if everyone knew that his biological father was actually the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, I was afraid that he, the leader of the beggar gang, would not be able to do it anyway.
Qiao Feng didn't know anything about Xiao Yuanshan, but Xiao Yuanshan watched Qiao Feng grow up since he was a child, so he could see at a glance what Qiao Feng was worried about.
Stretching out his hands to grab Qiao Feng's shoulders, Xiao Yuanshan said softly.
"Good boy! Now that our father and son know each other, don't be the leader of the beggar gang, just go back to the palace in Yanjing with your father! Now my father holds half of the military power of the Great Liao, and the subordinate army of the king of the North Courtyard also has many of my old troops, and in the future, my father will become the emperor of the Great Liao, and this great country will be yours. ”
Yelu Hongji canonized Xiao Yuanshan as the king of the Southern Courtyard, thinking that he could worry about the future, because Xiao Yuanshan had no heirs, even if he rebelled and became the emperor of Daliao, no one would be able to inherit the throne.
didn't expect Xiao Yuanshan's son to be not only alive, but also a big hero who stood up to the sky.
Originally, Xiao Yuanshan was only threatened by Yang Ming to rebel, but after he became the king of the Southern Courtyard and held the military power, his ambitions became more and more vigorous.
The national glory of the Liao State has lasted for nearly two hundred years, and now the Khitan warriors have long since lost the prestige of dominating the northern frontier at the end of the five dynasties.
It's just that the Song State and Western Xia in the south are worse than the Liao State in their bones, so the Liao State can still maintain the title of the first power in the East.
However, the Jurchen tribe led by the Wanyan tribe has begun to rise between the white mountains and black waters, if the Liao State cannot return to its former prosperity. At most, twenty years later, the Liao State will be destroyed by the Jurchen tribe led by the Wanyan tribe.
At this time when the Liao State is in danger of survival, if Xiao Yuanshan rebels and seizes the throne of the Liao State, he will not only be able to realize his ambitions, but also save the Guozuo of the Liao State that is about to come to an end.
"Daddy, as an important minister of the Liao State, you actually want to raise an army to rebel?"
Seeing that Qiao Feng's face was a little disdainful, Xiao Yuanshan laughed indifferently and said.
"Good boy. You still don't know your life experience, let your father tell you! Although you and my father and son are not surnamed Yelu, our Xiao family and Yelu family have been intermarried for generations. The current Emperor of the Great Liao, Yelu Hongji, is mediocre, and his father replaced him in order to save the fortunes of my Great Liao. ”
Qiao Feng's eyes widened in surprise, he suddenly thought of something, and said with a pale face.
"The Xiao family where my father is located is the family of the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom?"
According to the seniority, the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji also wants to call his father uncle, and you also have to call him a cousin. ”
Xiao Yuanshan's face was full of pride. Qiao Feng's body trembled, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.
If he was just an ordinary Khitan, even if his biological parents were still alive, the elders and disciples of the Beggar Gang would be able to accept him as the leader.
But now, his biological father is not only alive, but also the king of the Southern Courtyard of Liao, and he himself is the blood-related cousin of the emperor of Liao.
Even if the elders and disciples of the Beggar Gang were still willing to support him as the helper, Qiao Feng himself would resign as the helper no matter what.
"It's really a trick...... I didn't expect my background to be so ......"
Qiao Feng's heart was a mess. My mind is a mess, and I don't know where I want to go from here.
Seeing Qiao Feng like this. Ah Zi grabbed his arm and said.
"Brother Qiao, you recognize your biological father now, this is a good thing that you should be happy about! As long as the world is peaceful in the future, even if you are not the leader of the beggar gang, there will be no chaos in the beggar gang. ”
Qiao Feng came back to his senses and looked at Ah Zi's gentle and firm expression. The chaotic mood gradually calmed down.
"Ah Zi, if I want to go back to Daliao with my father, do you still want to follow me?"
"Mmmmmmmmmm ”
Ah Zi was originally a person who was afraid of hardship, and he was worried that the wife of the gang leader who was a beggar gang would not be able to live a good life. Now that she can go to the Great Liao Palace, she will naturally not object.
As for whether she is a Han and not a Khitan, Xiao Yuanshan's father-in-law is the king of the Southern Courtyard, and except for the emperor of Liao, there are no Khitans who can bully her at all.
Qiao Feng is a straight man, he didn't know that Ah Zi had so much thought, and when he heard that Ah Zi was willing to follow him all the time, he only felt that the kindness of the beauty was really beyond retribution.
"It's not difficult for my father to ask me to go back to Daliao with you to live, but I have to arrange the candidates for the successor of the beggar gang first, and give my stepfather and mother enough silver taels to let them spend their old age in peace. ”
"This is easy to do, I will give you 1,000 taels of silver for Qiao Sanhuai and his wife to support the elderly! If they are willing to follow you to live in Daliao, you can also take them to the palace of the Southern Courtyard. ”
After Xiao Yuanshan finished speaking boldly, Qiao Feng frowned and said suspiciously.
"Daddy, you not only know that I am the leader of the beggar gang, but also know that my father-in-law and mother are Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, how much do you know about me? If you already know about me, why haven't you recognized me for so many years?"
"This ......"
Xiao Yuanshan was speechless when asked.
He didn't know why he had been obsessed with the past thirty years, obviously with his martial arts he could kill Xuan Ci with one palm, but he never thought about revenge, he knew that Qiao Feng was adopted by Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, but he never thought that father and son would recognize each other or send Qiao Feng back to Liao.
It wasn't until he returned to Liao and became the king of the Southern Courtyard that his heart suddenly opened up, and he thought of many things that he hadn't thought about before.
"Feng'er, let's talk about this matter! Daddy's trip is to spy on the military situation at Yanmen Pass and prepare for the future southern expedition. You first accompany your father to investigate the military situation of the garrison of Yanmen Pass, and then go back to the Yanjing Palace with your father, and your father will tell you all the things in the past 30 years. ”
"Daddy, you want to go south to conquer the Song Kingdom? No! Absolutely not! Although the child is a Khitan, he was raised by the Han people of the Song Kingdom. If Daddy insists on attacking the Song Kingdom, then you and I don't have to recognize each other. In the future, the child will definitely defend the Great Song Dynasty and meet his father on the battlefield. ”
Qiao Feng is a Khitan, but he wholeheartedly stands on the position of the Han people of the Song Kingdom, and it is no wonder that Yelu Hongji wanted to kill this cousin who had a knot in the original book.
Even Xiao Yuanshan showed an ugly face at this time.
But he is Qiao Feng's biological father after all, so he will not treat Qiao Feng like Yelu Hongji.
"Since Feng'er said that you can't do it, then Dad won't fight Song Guo. There is no need to investigate the military situation at Yanmen Pass. If Feng'er is satisfied with your father's arrangement, go back to Yanjing Mansion with your father. ”
"This ...... The boy will go with his father to see how the people of Liao are doing!"
Yanjing is the Nanjing of the Liao State, also known as the Youdu, the capital of Youzhou.
Later, Shi Jingtang established himself as the emperor, and was fully supported by the Liao State, and Shi Jingtang cut the sixteen states of Yanyun as a reward.
The sixteen states of Yanyun are You, Ji, Zhuo, Shun, Tan, Ying, Mo, Xin, Fei, Confucian, Wu, Wei, Yun, Ying, Huan, Shuo, and the three dynasties of the Later Zhou and Song dynasties competed with the Liao State, and they could not be recovered.
The sixteen states of Yanyun occupy the shape of victory, and the Liao State is stationed with heavy troops. Every time he used troops to the south, he drove down for a long time, and above Pingyang, the Great Song Dynasty had no danger to defend.
The Song and Liao fought for more than 100 years, and the Song Dynasty won a rare victory, and the main reason was that the armor was not as good as the solid, and the Liao State was condescending to control the battlefield, and it also took a great advantage.
Qiao Feng and Ah Zi followed Xiao Yuanshan to Yanjing. See that the streets are wide and the city is bustling. The people who came and went were Han people, and all they heard were the Central Plains language, as if they had returned to Middle-earth.
Qiao Feng and Ah Zi liked it very much, and the next day they were light and simple, and they traveled around the street.
Thirty-six miles above Yanjing City, there are eight gates.
The east is the Andong Gate, the Yingchun Gate, the south is the Kaiyang Gate, the Danfeng Gate, the west is the Xianxi Gate, the Qing Jin Gate, the north is the Tongtian Gate, the Gongzhen Gate.
The two north gates are called through the gate and the arch vibration. It means to submit to this and obey the emperor's decree from the face.
The palace of the king of the southern courtyard is in the southwest of the city.
Qiao Feng and Ah Zi traveled for half a day, but they saw Fang City, the house, the temple, and the official office, which were densely covered in the four cities, for a while. The view is endless.
At this time, Xiao Yuanshan's official residence was the king of the Southern Courtyard, and although the sixteen states of Yanyun were under his jurisdiction, the area of Datong Mansion in Xijing Road and the area of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing Road were also under his orders.
With a heavy prestige, they will be entangled in many affairs of the Southern Courtyard Palace, Qiao Feng and Ah Zi were taken back to the Southern Courtyard Mansion by Xiao Yuanshan after visiting the west of the city.
While Qiao Feng and Ah Zi were enjoying the brocade clothes and jade food in the palace of the Southern Courtyard, Tianshan Tong's grandmother finally spent the last half month of rejuvenation.
In the secret room of the Ethereal Peak Vulture Palace, after Wu Xingyun drank Yang Ming's wrist blood luck for the last time, she not only recovered her ninety-year [Eight Desolations and Six Combinations] skill, but also greatly increased her rebirth skill because of rejuvenation.

When Wu Xingyun deliberately used his power to urge, a two-foot-thick wall of qi wrapped around Wu Xingyun's body and emitted a faint white light.
"It's ......"
Seeing the qi wall that wrapped Wu Xingyun's body, Yang Ming's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his right hand and stroked it.
Although Wu Xingyun's two-foot qi wall was not as good as the three-foot qi wall of the sweeping monk, it was urged by the same method.
Although this qi wall is urged by true qi, the rich true qi is viscous as if it is liquid, even if it is a divine weapon like the crape myrtle soft sword and the Xuantie divine sword, it is difficult to break the qi wall without the support of a hundred years of skill.
"Stinky boy, this is the innate qi that can only be released by a grandmaster with more than a hundred years of skill!
"There is an old immortal bald donkey in the Zangjing Pavilion of Shaolin Temple, who can emit a three-foot qi wall! I went to Shaolin Temple to kill two damned people before, and I was almost locked up by that old bald donkey in Shaolin Temple as a little bald donkey. ”
Thinking of the embarrassing escape that was chased by the sweeping monk before, Yang Ming still has palpitations in his heart.
If he was really caught by the sweeping monk at that time, not only would he be brainwashed into a little bald donkey by the sweeping monk, but without his protection, Wu Xingyun would probably be tortured to death by Li Qiushui.
As soon as Wu Xingyun died, there was no antidote to the life and death talisman, and Li Xian and Li Xin, who actually controlled the Longyou Protectorate, were most likely to commit suicide by the pain of the life and death talisman, plus Yang Ming became a little bald donkey in the Shaolin Temple Scripture Pavilion, and the territory of the Longyou Protectorate, which was equivalent to the Song and Liao combined, would immediately fall apart.
"Being able to emit a three-foot qi wall, the old monk you are talking about has at least one hundred and fifty years of skill!"
Wu Xingyun thought with a frown.
"As far as I know, from the end of the Five Dynasties to the present, the Shaolin Temple has not produced any great talents at all, and the identity of that old monk is definitely very problematic! There are only two or three great masters who can live from the end of the Five Dynasties to the present. ”
Although the last years of the Five Dynasties were a chaotic era of the Warring States, it was also like the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period, and many amazing and brilliant masters appeared on the rivers and lakes.
Although Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, bullied orphans and widows to establish the world of Zhao and Song, he created the [Taizu Long Fist] to fight all over the world, and he was one of the top masters at that time.
It's a pity that Zhao Kuangyin has evil retribution, not only was he taken away by Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, but he was also poisoned to death by Zhao Guangyi, and the sweeping monk of the Shaolin Temple Hidden Scripture Pavilion naturally could not be Zhao Kuangyin.
Duan Siping not only founded the Dali Kingdom, but also created his own [Six-Vein Divine Sword] and the Murong family's [Dou Zhuan Xing Shift] were as famous in the rivers and lakes, and they could be regarded as a generation of Tianjiao at that time.
It's a pity that it can be seen from the [One Yang Finger] and the [Six Veins Divine Sword] that Duan Siping's martial arts edge is more than enough to have a foundation, not to mention that Duan Siping has died a long time ago, even if he lives until now, he doesn't have the ability to send out a three-foot qi wall.
Although he was not as invincible and powerful as Murong Longcheng and Duan Siping in the last years of the Five Dynasties, it can be seen from Xiaoyaozi's [Eight Desolations and Liuhe Solitary Skills], [Northern Shengong] and [Xiao Wuxiang Gong] that Xiaoyaozi's martial arts are by no means below Murong Longcheng and Duan Siping.
It's a pity that the Xiaoyao faction is a Taoist sect, and Xiaoyaozi, as the head of the Xiaoyao faction, will never hide in the Shaolin Temple of Buddhism with his pride and conceit.
After excluding a few impossible candidates, the true identity of the sweeping monk is no longer known.
In the original book, when Xuan Ku was beaten to death by Xiao Yuanshan, he didn't see the old bald donkey come out and meddle in things.
When Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang committed suicide, they didn't see the old bald donkey come out and meddle in their affairs.
However, when Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan's father and son wanted to seek revenge on Murong Bo, the old immortal bald donkey came out to meddle in his affairs.
And coincidentally, after the old immortal bald donkey came out, Murong Boqiang's hidden illness of practicing [Shaolin Temple's seventy-two stunts] began to attack.
Okay, okay!
It turns out that you, an old and immortal bald donkey, are counting the time and are here to save your great-grandson's life.
Just imagine, if the old immortal bald donkey hadn't come out to save his great-grandson's life at that time, although Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan's father and son were two people at that time, Murong Bo had a hidden illness, and with Murong Fu's half-hung son and Gu Mozhi's subordinates, he would definitely not be able to defeat Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan.
"Grandma Tong, now that you have spent ninety days of rejuvenation and rejuvenation, and your skills have increased greatly, I want you to help me do something. ”
"The lords of the Uighur Khanate and the Black Khanate have all been planted with life and death charms by me, and their national strength is not as weak as your Longyou Protectorate, as long as I give an order, I can make them submit to you. ”
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
Yang Ming shook his head and said with a cold gaze.
"I want you to join forces with me and kill that old immortal bald donkey. ”
Although the sweeping monk's actions made people want to vomit, he did not have any evil deeds, and he did not have any deep hatred with Yang Ming.
As for the reason why Yang Ming had to kill him, it was just because he, the number one master in the world, had lived too long and his martial arts realm was too high. (To be continued.) )
