After half a night of singing and drinking, early the next morning, Shi Yong, the general of Shi, took a few small servants and said goodbye to Xiao Tang and returned to the Daimyo's Mansion, while Deng Fei and Yang Lin had no fixed place to live and lived in the Xiao Mansion temporarily.

Xiao Tang had some doubts, because he and Wu Song had been sentenced by the government, but Deng Fei was still a wanted criminal, of course, Xiao Tang would never report Deng Fei to the government, and although he didn't know much about Deng Fei's ins and outs in the Daimyo's Mansion, and his own village was his cronies, he and Liang Shijie, the left-behind minister of the Daimyo's Mansion, got on the line. Once the news leaks out, Deng Fei, a death row prisoner who has injured several people, can save him, and I am afraid that he will be affected Xiao Tang.

But as soon as Xiao Tang had this doubt, a few days later, Deng Fei first said goodbye to Xiao Tang and said: "Brother, I was arrested by the government and issued a sea fishing document, and I was pardoned. I've lived here for a long time, and I've leaked the news, and it's still my brother and this Xiao family set. In a situation like mine, the only way to occupy the mountains and rivers is to open a mountain and set up a cabinet, and be happy to be the owner of a green forest village, and then invite my brothers to play with me. ”

Xiao Tang's heart warmed, Deng Feiyuan had been thinking about him, Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel a little guilty, he said, "Brother Deng, where are you going?" ”

Deng Fei said: "There are many dragons and snakes in the area of Youyu and Ji in the Northern Liao, and there are many strongmen, and the official sea fishing documents cannot be sent to it in Daliao, which is just right for me to break out of the world." ”

Xiao Tang understood this, and while continuing to drink and talk with Deng Fei, he ordered Zhuang Ke to prepare a good horse and a pack horse, and the package on the pack horse still contained soft clothes, dry food and a hundred taels of silver.

Deng Fei was not hypocritical, and said with a smile: "Since it was given by my own brother, we will accept it, I will find a good place to settle down and inform my brother." In the future, if there is something to say, it will come in the water, in the fire, and in the fire, my brother will not be ambiguous! ”

Xiao Tang and Deng Fei fell in love, and they only felt happy in their hearts, after all, the person in front of him was a martial artist with the typical representative temperament of Liangshan heroes in the Water Margin: straightforward, affectionate and righteous, and a heroic character who is definitely worth befriending.

Xiao Tang and Yang Lin, Xiao Yi, Xue Yong and others sent Deng Fei on the road, Deng Fei was full of pride, opened his mouth, and roared at a song that Xiao Tang had taught him:

“.................

Puff up your chest, grit your teeth, life and death are easy to bow your head and difficult to bow your head!

Even if you can't be a hero, you have to be a hero!

All grievances and grievances are downplayed, and if you are not chic enough, you are not brave enough.

If it's bitter, I'll swallow wine and dry it! Look up to the sky and smile with tears!

Hey! Rolling, red dust, turning twice, the cracks in the south of the world are at peace with the encounter!

But the love is also deep, and the end of the world is often accompanied by infatuation!

.................”

Xiao Tang asked Yang Lin again, "I don't know what Brother Yang plans to do in the future?" ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "I am a wanderer in the rivers and lakes, living a chaotic life of 'having wine today, getting drunk today, scooping and pouring cold water tomorrow', this time I am so shy that my money is tight, brother, what kind of livelihood do I can help Although words, I still want to stay here for a long time." ”

Jin Leopard Yang Lin has deep experience in the rivers and lakes, and he is quite old-fashioned, and staying in Xiao Jiaji also happens to come in handy, Xiao Tang said happily: "I'm not afraid that Brother Yang will live for a long time, I'm afraid that Brother Yang won't look down on me." ”......

A few days later, the spine sores on Xiao Tang's back have been raised, he suddenly remembered what Daddy Xiao said to him when he was dying, he came to Daddy Xiao's bedroom, twisted the jade bottle on the cabinet three times according to Daddy Xiao's words, lifted the leather blanket on the ground, and found that there was a ring buckled on the ground, Xiao Tang pulled out the ring, pulled it hard, and lifted the floor to reveal a passage to the underground.

Xiao Tang walked down and came to a dark and gloomy space, Xiao Tang turned back and went back to find an oil lamp, and after lighting it, the flickering lights shone brightly, reflecting a tightly sealed iron door.

Xiao Tang was surprised to think that he had lived here for more than ten years, but he never knew that there was a hole in his home. He pushed the iron door, and after a creaking sound, an empty secret room appeared in front of Xiao Tang's eyes.

Although the chamber was dim and quiet, it was clean and free of dust. The layout is simple, only a shelf with a dozen books scattered around, a black bow and a few bags of arrows are placed in the corner of the secret room, and two single knives are hung on the left and right sides of the wall.

Xiao Tang picked up the black wolf-headed Jiujun bow placed in the corner, and carved a few words on the top side of the bow with Khitan literary workmanship.

Because the inside of the wolf's head nine jun bow is engraved with "Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen"!

In a flash of light, Xiao Tang remembered his understanding of the world at that time: at first glance, although this is the rigorous Great Song Dynasty in the official history, there are Liangshan heroes in the Water Margin, Wu Zhi Jinlian and other historical Ming Dynasty figures, so in this world, will it have something to do with other legends of the rivers and lakes?

The wolf's head carved bow handle was wrapped in layers of animal skin, and I don't know what material it was made of. Xiao Tang pulled it casually, but the bowstring did not move like a strip of steel embedded in the bow. He gritted his teeth and pulled it with all his strength, and the strong bow could be pulled into a full moon shape, while Xiao Tang was already suffocating his face and red, and the green tendons on his forehead were still jumping suddenly.

Xiao Tang had no choice but to put down the strong bow, and then took down one of the two knives hanging on the wall. The hilt of the knife was decorated with a simple ornament, but the top of the handle was carved with a wolf head with bared teeth and glaring. Xiao Tang just pulled it out of the scabbard, and suddenly felt that the cold light was pressing, and a Xiao killing intent suddenly filled the entire secret room. The knife was a few points narrower than the ordinary waist knife, and it was extremely agile and light to dance, its blade was blue and gray, the blade was cold, and the edge of the blade was still a little red, and I don't know how many people's blood it had drunk.

Xiao Tang walked to the bookshelf again, and saw several boxing scriptures in the middle row of the bookshelf, Xiao Tang was suddenly excited, and secretly said in surprise: It turns out that it is really that person!? In the pen of another great master, the strange man who is known as a shocking man with Wu Song?

On the upper shelf, there were still a few books alone, and Xiao Tang took them down and saw that they were all written in Khitan script. Xiao Tang's Khitan script is only a rough one, and he only vaguely recognizes the words "Empress Dowager Xiao of Daliao Chengtian", "Yelu Xuan", and "Yelu Huge, the King of the Northern Courtyard".

Yelu slanted, a generation of famous generals of the Liao State, defeated the Song army in Baimaling, Gaoliang River, Ulzhou, Langya Village and other places, and the first generation of Yang Jiye Yang Lao Linggong was captured by him, he crusaded against the Jurchens and captured more than 100,000 people, more than 200,000 horses, and conquered Goryeo several times to force Goryeo to move the capital to Ganghwa Island, and almost lost the country, so that Goryeo and Jurchen made great achievements in making Goryeo and Jurchen serve Daliao as the suzerain.

And Yelu Xiuge cooperated with Yelu Xianzhen to kill Zhao Kuangyi, who was personally conquered by Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, in the Gaoliang River, and escaped in a hurry in a donkey cart. Later, he repeatedly defeated the army of the Great Song Dynasty in Mancheng, Waqiao Pass, Qigou Pass, Yizhou and other places, so that the Great Song Dynasty no longer dared to invade the sixteen states of Yanyun that he intended to recapture. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the writer Chu Ren was praised by Brother Yelu Xiu and said: "Brother Yelu Xiu of Liao Shi worshiped in Yue and defeated the Song Division several times. The Song people did not dare to go north. When the Song people wanted to stop crying. The more terrible it is, the more it goes. Children are silent. "In the Chinese history books, it is recorded that because of the courage in battle, the children of the opposing camp dare not cry at night, which is not a brave and unparalleled tiger general?

These two peerless generals of the Great Liao more than 100 years ago, although they stood in the position of the Great Song Dynasty, they were all mortal enemies who made the Great Song Dynasty officials and soldiers have a headache to the extreme, and they were two insurmountable mountains, and there were also many Song people who hated to break their corpses into thousands of pieces, crush their bones and scatter ashes.

But in fact, just like that Yelu Huge, although he has experienced a hundred battles, he is by no means a ruthless and brutal butcher, on the contrary, he not only never kills innocents indiscriminately, but if there are Han people who are lost and wandered to the Liao border when defending the south, Yelu Xiuge will not only not "fight the grass valley" like some officers and soldiers in the Song and Liao army to rob and kill these people, but will send people to escort them to the border and send them back to the Great Song Dynasty.

If it is said that Xiao Tang, Xiao Laopa, and Xiao Yi and Xiao An and other Khitan people who fell into the Han realm from the Liao State, their identities are not embarrassing, just like the overseas Chinese who Chinese all over the world, they are also like the Sinicized Xiao Tang and others, fully accepting the local culture and life, but it does not prevent them from being proud of the nation with the same blood, and they will be proud of their ancestral heroes.

In fact, the Han family children living in the sixteen states of Yanyun are the same, they have taken root and settled in the Liao State during the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and even before Zhao Kuangyin usurped the Zhou Dynasty to establish the Great Song Dynasty, most people are by no means like the public opinion of the Song Dynasty at that time and the commentaries of later generations, "eat pot pulp, in order to welcome the king", every day they hope that the Song army will come over quickly, so as to "liberate" their compatriots, in fact, most people will only think that the attack of the Song army will destroy their current life, and they are just invaders.

Later generations of travelers like Xiao Tang can see more openly, what is the difference between the Song people and the Khitans, such as Xianbei, Goguryeo and other too many "alien races" in history, now they all regard themselves as Chinese orthodoxy, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different" In fact, many people don't even bother to find the full text: Although Jin has no way, it cannot be rebelled. The great and the ministers are harmonious, but they are different from me, and the princes listen to them, and they can't be two. 'If you are not of my race, your heart will be different', although Chu is big, if you are not of my race, I care about its words?

The sentence from "Zuo Chuan Cheng Gong" is about the Chu State that wants to propose for Ji Wenzi to get close to the Jin State of the same race and alienate the foreign race, but now in the Great Song Dynasty, the Chu people have long been Han people, and the Han people have long been Chu people, although there have been mutual conquests and killings in history, they can be tolerated and integrated under the influence of Chinese civilization, once "aliens", today's brothers.

This is the Chinese nation.

Xiao Tang's thoughts came back, and he thought to himself that these books related to Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xian would need to be translated by someone who was proficient in Khitan script. His eyes fell on the dozen or so martial arts secrets again, Xiao Tang remembered that Daddy Xiao had said that his father, that is, his grandfather in the Liao Dynasty to do the Southern Courtyard of the Unified Army Division, the Southern Courtyard is auspicious, and the Southern Courtyard is auspicious and stable......

So will Father Xiao, or his grandfather, be a member of the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun under the command of that great hero? And Daddy Xiao is probably heartbroken because he saw Xiao Tang's "brocade mastiff" temperament in the past, so he wants to bury such a secret in the ground for a long time, right?

Among those boxing scriptures, there is no the most powerful fist of the big hero, which is also reasonable, although the big hero may pass on his life's work to his subordinates, but when it comes to the secret knowledge of his gang, he should not pass it on.

However, has Daddy Xiao ever met that big hero? Is the ancestor of the Xiao family really one of the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun? ...... It's a pity that Daddy Xiao has passed away, and there is no one who can solve the mystery in Xiao Tang's heart.

-----------------------------------------------------------

It must be emphasized that the light martial arts elements in this book, and some plots (such as this chapter, and "Fist is Not Gold" that will appear at the end of this volume) are only for the protagonist to "get good kung fu with fists and feet, and thirty or fifty people can't get close", not "to get the magic skills and learn to open up the eight veins of the strange scriptures and look at the world"...... There is basically no internal force setting, and the Jianghu system is dominated by the Water Margin
