Chapter Twenty-Four: Distant Mountains

Wang Lie walked to Li Suning's side, looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, he saw a team of people and horses walking slowly several miles away. It looked like a troop of horsemen was walking towards them around a carriage, and it had nothing to do with who was supposed to be traveling.

"I don't know which Liao official is traveling, it has nothing to do with us. Wang Lie looked at it and was not interested, "Don't worry so much, hurry up and set off after eating, we can enter the customs today." ”

Li Suning let out an "oh", and obediently sat down with Wang Lie by the fire and began to eat.

They did not want to cause trouble, but things came to provoke them, and when they had finished eating, they had not yet set out when they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming towards them.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" An inquiring voice came from afar, and the exit turned out to be in Chinese with round words.

Wang Lie looked back and saw that the three cavalrymen were looking at him and Li Suning from dozens of feet away, with a look of vigilance on their faces. This is not far from Yanmen Pass, although the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty are still in peace, but there is no guarantee that there will be any general who wants to kill the enemy to receive merit, which is very common in the border pass, killing civilians and pretending to be local soldiers are not uncommon on both sides. This time, they were in charge of guarding the nobles, and they were most afraid of encountering the Great Song army that came out to fight the autumn wind.

"People passing by. Wang Lie waved his palm to extinguish the fire on the ground, in case they were gone, and stood up and spoke. "Ning'er, it's time for us to go. ”

"Captain, what should I do?" whispered the cavalrymen.

"Don't make any extraneous branches, go back and tell your lordship, just say that it's just two passers-by, let's hurry. The cavalry leader whispered. The men turned their horses around and headed back towards the carriage.

Then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man poked his head out of it.

"It's really a coincidence, don't talk about people during the day, I actually met here. As soon as Wang Lie saw that person, he smiled at Li Suning and said.

"Who is it, senior brother?" Li Suning said as he kicked the blade of grass with his little boots.

"It's coming. Wang Lie chuckled.

"Brother Wang, I really don't meet anywhere in my life, I didn't expect to meet you here. A bold voice came. Although it is said in the official language of the Song Dynasty, it is always a little awkward.

I saw a high-spirited man riding a horse in front of Wang Lie and Li Suning, and said with a smile.

"It's Xiao Linxiu, he learned this official language. It's so ugly. Li Suning muttered, the person who came was Xiao Linxiu, whose name contrasted sharply with his appearance, and he disdained to learn the official dialect of the Song Dynasty at first, but after being easily defeated by Wang Lie, he knew that the Nanren did have a place to gain. Then he began to learn the official dialect of the Song Dynasty, although he didn't speak it very authentically, but he started learning it at this age, and it was good to be able to master it so quickly.

"Xiao Linxiu, why didn't you stay in Liao Country and come to this Yanmen Pass. Wang Lie said, although there have been conflicts, but Xiao Linxiu is not bad, he still takes advantage of his love, and the affairs of Uncle Mu's tribe are thanks to him, Wang Lie naturally will not speak coldly.

"I'm accompanying my mother-in-law back to her mother's house. Let's put it in Song dialect. Xiao Linxiu jumped off the horse, although he has a delicate name, but he is a rough man.

"What mother-in-law, it's really ugly, does that make my wife know?" Li Suning said with a grimace.

"Yes, wife. Xiao Linxiu was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "My wife gave birth to a new one for me, no, I'll take them to let my old Taishan go to see." "Xiao Linxiu has learned a lot of vocabulary, and Lao Taishan can say it.

"Oh, congratulations to Brother Xiao. Wang Lie arched his hand and said. After thinking about it for a while, it seems that I should give a greeting gift in this situation.

Before Wang Lie could give a gift, Xiao Linxiu had already turned around and shouted.

I saw that the cavalry was crowding the carriage and walking towards this side, and Xiao Linxiu said something in Khitan dialect. A woman came out of the carriage with a child in her arms, Xiao Linxiu hugged the woman and the child with a tender face, the woman blushed and whispered something, but it was in Khitan dialect, and Wang Lie's Khitan dialect could only understand a few words. She didn't understand what she was saying.

"Brother Wang, this is my wife, this is my son. Xiao Linxiu grabbed the woman's shoulders and introduced to Wang Lie. The woman's appearance was not stunning, but her demeanor was calm, and there was a sense of strength in her weakness.

"I've seen my sister-in-law. When they met for the first time, Wang Lie still bowed politely and said.

"She doesn't know Chinese, come, look at my son, doesn't look like me. Xiao Linxiu waved his hand and laughed, obviously full of love for this wife and child.

Before Wang Lie could move, Li Suning had already run to the woman's side, muttered something, and cautiously stretched out his finger and tapped the baby in the woman's arms, and both of them giggled.

"Brother Xiao, in the wilderness, I don't have any good things on me, so let's give this jade pendant to my eldest nephew to play with. Wang Lie touched his body for a long time, and only a palm-sized jade pendant could take it out, he was not used to carrying many things on his body, so he couldn't give silver, this jade pendant still didn't know when to put it in the money bag.

"You're welcome. Xiao Linxiu laughed, he was born in a nobleman, a piece of jade pendant is not in his eyes, what he cares about is Wang Lie's attitude, the Khitan people have always respected heroes, Wang Lie's martial arts are like gods in Xiao Linxiu's eyes, he has always hoped to deepen his friendship with Wang Lie.

"Senior brother, it's so funny, we all grew up at such a young age? Li Suning ran back to Wang Lie and said excitedly, it was the first time she had seen such a small person, and she didn't dare to touch it, for fear that she would accidentally break his little arms and legs.

Xiao Linxiu laughed, since he had this son, he was in such a good mood every day.

"Yes, everyone grew up at such a young age, and the creation is magical, which can be seen. Wang Lie said with a smile.

"Xiao Linxiu, what's your son's name?" Li Suning tilted his head and asked Xiao Linxiu.

"My son's name is better, better than his son and mine. Xiao Linxiu said triumphantly, he only got this son in his thirties, and he regarded it as a treasure, and he specially asked the best university scholar in Daliao to help him pick it up.

A thought suddenly flashed through Wang Lie's mind, but he shook his head in the blink of an eye.

"What is it called?" Li Suning asked, he didn't expect such a big man to learn to sell guanzi.

"Listen, my son's name is Xiao Yuanshan!" Xiao Linxiu said with a shake of his head.

There was a thunder in Wang Lie's ears, and the thoughts that had just been thrown out of his mind floated again, it wouldn't be so coincidental, I was still thinking about who the surname Xiao would be just now, I went, it was really this name!

"You said your son is Xiao Yuanshan?" asked Wang Lie.

Xiao Linxiu's Chinese is not good, and he can't tell the difference between it and his name, so he said: "How about it, this name is okay, Yuanshan, Yuanshan, when my son grows up, he will definitely be as majestic as a mountain!"

Wang Lie didn't care about his nondescript analogy, the three words "Xiao Yuanshan" were still circling in his mind, and the little baby in front of him turned out to be an important source of the strife in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, and it was also the father of Xiao Feng, who suffered for thirty years later. Rao is well-informed, and Wang Lie is also a little in a trance.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Suning saw that Wang Lie was a little distracted, and touched him on the shoulder and said.

"It's fine. Wang Lie smiled, Wu Yazi and Tianshan Tong have seen it, what is there to shock Xiao Yuanshan, Wang Lie mocked himself in his heart, and said, "Good name!"

Hearing Wang Lie's praise, Xiao Linxiu smiled even more happily.

"Brother Wang, you Han people have a saying, called fate to meet thousands of miles away. Xiao Linxiu played his nondescript Chinese again, and said: "It is also fate that we can meet here, I have a request and hope that Brother Wang can agree." ”

"That's not how we meet thousands of miles away. Wang Lie shook his head with a smile and said, "Thanks to Brother Xiao for taking care of Uncle Mu and them, I owe you a favor, if you have anything, just say something." ”

"I hope you can take my son as an apprentice and teach him to be a hero like you!" Xiao Linxiu put his right hand into a fist on his left chest, and leaned forward, which was the noble etiquette of the Khitan people.

"Apprentices?" Wang Lie frowned slightly, "Okay, I promise you!" After a moment of silence, Wang Lie spoke.

Xiao Linxiu was overjoyed, but Li Suning was surprised, why did the senior brother agree to come down, although Xiao Linxiu is not ugly, but he is five big and three thick, and his son's appearance must not meet the standards of the free school. The standard of the Carefree Sect is the fairy wind bone, not looking for a demon Arhat. (To be continued.) )
