Chapter 132: The Man in the Iron Mask Who Abducted Ah Zi
"Two, for my sake, how about stopping?" As the words spoke, a man walked out of the forest.
Look at this person's face like a heavy jujube, with a long white beard under his forehead, floating on his chest, a pair of Danfeng eyes are not angry and self-imposing, and he is full of momentum.
Behind him, followed by a handsome young man, with eyebrows and eyes, all full of heroism and radiance.
The four elders of the Beggar Gang were all surprised: "General Yang, this is already the Khitan territory, and there are many dangers, how can you personally take risks?"
This person is Yang Ye, the observer of Yunzhou, the commander-in-chief of the defense of the Yanmen Pass, who once broke the Liao army and was called Yang Invincible by the Khitans.
Hong Qigong withdrew his body and said, "Since Yang Linggong has interceded for you, forget it." ”
Huang Sheng snorted, even though no one could command him except the emperor, but for Yang Ye, who broke the Khitan army, his heart was also full of respect.
Wu Changfeng said: "Marshal Yang, if these 300,000 taels of tribute silver are sent to the Liao State, and when the time comes, the Liao army will definitely come to attack our Great Song Dynasty." In that case, why don't we loot it for military supplies? I see that your beard is so white that you are used in the army. ”
Elder Song interjected: "Even if the Yang family doesn't use it and give it to the poor people, wouldn't it be good? Throwing it in the stinky ditch is ten thousand times stronger than giving it to the Khitan." ”
Yang Ye sighed: "Discussing peace is the emperor's intention." As courtiers, we can only obey, and it is worth it to pay 300,000 taels of silver in exchange for a year's peace at the border. ”
Chen Guyan snorted: "I'm afraid that the Khitans will not be trustworthy, I think it won't be long before they will make a comeback." ”
"Hmph, if they dare to come, we will dare to fight. I, Yang Ye, have no other skills, and when I fight, I am not afraid of anyone. Yang Ye said: "I'd rather let others lose their trust to me, we must not lose our trust to others, ruining the reputation of the Central Plains for thousands of years." ”
Looking at Yang Ye's righteous face, Hong Jin couldn't help but be full of respect, this is a real hero, a good man, not a person who talks in the vernacular.
Yang Ye's gaze wandered, and suddenly met Xiao Feng's eyes, and the figures of the two people shook each other.
"This is King Xiao, right? Elder Wu told me that you are the most respected person in his life, a dignified man in heaven and earth, a downright man, and I have always wanted to see you. It's a pity that time has passed, and I finally met you, and as a result, you actually became the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard, Shi Ye, what is the life?" Yang Ye's face was full of mockery.
This kind of mockery is not aimed at Xiao Feng, but more of a helplessness against fate, the will of heaven is like a refining furnace, who does not suffer from its tempering.
Xiao Feng arched his hand and said: "Marshal Yang, even though I am a Khitan, but I have heard of your heroic name, and I have always admired it in my heart. ”
Yang Yedao: "It's a pity that you are a Khitan after all, and you are still the king of the Southern Courtyard." One day, you will raise troops to the south, and when we meet, it will be in the bloody battlefield, life and death. Now, before this happens, why don't we ditch everything and have a drink. ”
At this moment, the wind is blowing strongly, the snow is falling, and everyone is waiting on the forest path, all feeling a little chilly, but this time Yang Ye's words can't help but ignite everyone's enthusiasm.
Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Being able to drink with Marshal Yang is enough to comfort your life." How about the Khitan? How about the Great Song Dynasty? How about life? What about death? The future is boundless, and there are many catastrophes, and there is such pride in the world, and it is not in vain for the world to come to this scene. ”
Everyone present took out the wine from all over the place, and drank it together, and for a while there was no idea of fighting in the field.
Xiao Feng threw the bag of wine he opened, which was several catties, into the air, and drank it clean like a long dragon playing in water.
After drinking, Xiao Feng arched his hand to Hong Qigong and Yang Ye, and said, "Treasure." "Turning the horse's head, I went all the way.
Cao Xian shouted: "This 300,000 taels of tribute silver, please also ask King Xiao to collect it." ”
Xiao Feng just ignored it, he didn't even turn his head, so he urged the horse all the way.
"There will be a period later. Hong Jin said goodbye to Hong Qigong, Yang Ye and others, and chased Xiao Feng all the way.
Letting go of the horses and walking with Xiao Feng all the way, Hong Jin's heart also felt inexplicably depressed and depressed.
Xiao Feng said gloomily: "If I am not a Khitan, if I am not the king of the Southern Courtyard, I can get along with them at ease and drink happily?......
Hong Jin said: "Brother Xiao, there is nothing wrong with the Khitan people, you don't have to worry about it all the time." ”
At this moment, they saw a burst of smoke and dust in front of them, and Hong Jin and Xiao Feng hurriedly urged their horses to rush over.
I saw a team of Song soldiers, who were grabbing a group of Khitan people, still fighting the grass valley.
An old Khitan man, walking a little slower, was beaten by Song Bing, and in the dispute, he was cut down by Song Bing.
Because the road was too far, Hong Jin and Xiao Feng didn't have time to rescue them, so they couldn't help but glance at each other, and their hearts were shaken.
These Khitan people, all of whom were Xiao Feng's subordinates, couldn't help but be extremely happy when they saw him coming, and shouted one after another.
Hong Jin slapped the horse and grabbed in front of Xiao Feng, and with a push of his Jiuyang True Anger, he stunned a good horse in front of him on the snow, and flew straight out of the distance.
The Song soldiers thought that he knew how to demons, and when they were driven by him, they were so frightened that they were not possessed and fled in the wilderness.
Xiao Feng caught up: "Are you still afraid that I will be spicy, so you will fight so much?"
Hong Jin nodded speechlessly, he still had the love of incense after all, and he couldn't bear to let these Song soldiers die in Xiao Feng's hands.
Xiao Feng felt in his heart, pointed to those Khitan people and said: "The Song people and Liao people are generally raised by their mothers, and they will only kill each other because of human greed. From now on, I will no longer be proud of the Great Song Dynasty and no longer be ashamed of the Khitan. ”
Those Khitan people escaped death, and they were all overjoyed, and they thanked Hong Jin and Xiao Feng.
As soon as he returned to the king of the Southern Courtyard, Xiao Feng warned his subordinates Ali that it was strictly forbidden to fight the grass valley, otherwise, he would not be spared.
It was precisely because of Xiao Feng's strict order that Yang Ye knew about it, and the two strictly restrained their subordinates, and the bad habit of fighting grass valley between Song and Liao was gradually abolished, which can be said to be immeasurable.
Hong Jin returned to his residence and was about to rest, when he suddenly saw a blue dagger inserted in the room, and couldn't help but be shocked.
A white handkerchief was inserted on the dagger, spread out, and dozens of bloody handwriting were written on it: "Ah Zi is in my hands, if you want her to live, come to Ice and Snow Valley." Don't tell Xiao Feng, otherwise, she will die. ”
Hong Jin could feel that there was murderous intent between the lines, especially a strong smell of blood, which made his heart tremble.
Even though Ah Zi is brutal and willful, even if she has a thousand things, whether they know each other once, Hong Jin naturally can't watch her die in vain.
Without the slightest hesitation, Hong Jin took out his steed and galloped towards the Ice and Snow Valley.
The ice and snow valley is frozen all year round, and the scenery is very beautiful, but few people come, because the Khitan people do not pursue elegance, they are more concerned about the real days of drinking wine and eating meat.
Hong Jin didn't care about admiring it all the way, so he entered the ice and snow valley, and saw that the road was very rugged and difficult, so he couldn't help but be in a hurry, so he had to leave the horses behind and find the way into the valley on foot.
Because the person who kidnapped Ah Zi did not tell Hong Jin the specific location, Hong Jin had to walk all the way, calling Ah Zi loudly.
The wind was like a knife, blowing on his face with burning pain, and the snow was falling heavily, constantly falling on Hong Jin's body.
Hong Jin walked all the way through the snow, and his voice was heard far away, and the sound was heard for miles.
In such a windy and snowy journey, Hong Jin's call did not stop, and he walked straight through most of the valley, but still did not see the person who kidnapped Ah Zi appear.
Walking through a mountain road, even in anxiety, Hong Jin's eyes couldn't help but light up, and a picture of the sky opened, and a wide stream appeared in front of him.
At this moment, the stream was frozen, and a thick layer of ice and snow had fallen on it, but Hong Jin's eyes and ears were smart and he could still hear that there was still a river flowing under the thick ice.
At the end of the stream, there is a large plum grove with two-colored plum blossoms in full bloom.
The white plum is clean, the red plum is enthusiastic, and some are mixed together, which is really a beautiful scenery in the world, and it is beautiful.
Hong Jin instinctively decided that Ah Zi was caught at Merlin's place, and if it was him, he would definitely choose here.
Stepping on the thick ice under his feet, Hong Jin walked all the way through the ice and snow, his figure was very fast, but he had spare strength, which was inspired by "Kang Long has regrets".
At any time, leave yourself a leeway, which is not only the way to behave in the world, but also can make the cycle of aftermath born.
"Ah Zi, Ah Zi, where are you ......" Hong Jin kept shouting, and the anxiety and worry in his mouth were undoubtedly displayed in the shouting.
There was no answer, only the snow that was shaken down by Hong Jin fell in a torrent.
Hong Jin's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly chased after Merlin, but when he saw the little thing, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
It was a snow-white squirrel, with a pair of round eyes, and kept looking at Hong Jin, as if to surprise the uninvited guest.
Hong Jin didn't care to tease the squirrel, he kept walking towards the forest, and suddenly turned around, he heard footsteps.
"You're here, it's good, Miss Ah Zi, now in my hands, do you want to save her?" A man wearing an iron mask held a blue dagger in his hand and pressed it against Ah Zi's neck.
Hong Jin was stunned, as soon as he saw the man in the iron mask, he naturally remembered You Tanzhi, and carefully watched the people in front of him, only to feel that his actions and behaviors were all the same.
"If you want to save her, of course you want to save her, what conditions do you have?" Hong Jin replied blankly, and the anxiety in his heart couldn't help but ease a little.
"If you want Miss Ah Zi to live, you will kill Xiao Feng...... The great wicked man, in exchange for his head. The man in the iron mask said viciously, a pair of iron arms, firmly tightening Ah Zi's neck.
Hong Jin shook his head and said categorically: "I can't do it, Ah Zi is important to me, but Brother Xiao is even more important, how can I bear to exchange my life for my life?"
