Chapter 9 Chapter Nine TIT FOR TAT
Simple-minded people can easily become friends with simple-minded people.The dog became obsessed with riding horses, and spent the whole day with Tang Yanyan, and the two of them, one big and one small, had a very good temper. Yang Hao also discovered that beautiful women have a particularly huge effect on improving environmental sanitation.Originally, those generals in the army were in a hurry these days, and they were already a bit unkempt. It goes without saying that they had lost their helmets and armor, and they had become accustomed to being unkempt.But Tang Yanyan came back after walking the horse with the dog, and when Yang Hao accompanied her back, he found that several generals from the military capital Yuhou Luo Kedi, Commander Liu Haibo, and Helong City were all neatly dressed , full of energy, like a military parade in front of officials, that is called a spirit. At dusk, when we arrived near a lake, a few generals had just commanded the soldiers to set up camp, and they took the horses to the lake without hesitation, and washed them clean. Then they carried water to the forest to wash themselves clean. Yang Hao sat on the green grass on the high slope, watching their actions and shaking his head amusingly. The scenery by the lake is very beautiful, green grass connects to an expanse of clear water, and on the right side of the lake is a green forest.There was a continuous fire cloud in the sky, and the lake water seemed to be half burnt red.The world is like washing, so beautiful that it is refreshing. "Hey, why don't you wash it off?" Yang Hao was watching intently, Tang Yanyan came over shaking his whip, and sat down beside Yang Hao. "Huh?" Yang Hao was stunned when he saw her. He turned his head to look down the slope, and then looked back at Tang Yanyan, with a very strange expression on his face. Tang Yanyan rolled her eyes and said, "If you fart, let it go, what do you mean?" Yang Hao pointed at the slope and said, "They...are taking a shower!" Directly in front of the high slope is a blue lake, and the gentle slope in front of the right is a forest. Some generals and soldiers put their clothes on the branches to cover them, and then stood in the middle of the water to take a bath.If you stand on the ground, blocked by trees and clothes, even if you can see it, it's just two legs, but looking down from this slope... Tang Yanyan looked at it with her head, and said with a cheer: "What am I doing, I can't see anything from such a distance, so I'm not afraid." Yang Hao was speechless, shouldn't women in this era be very reserved, why is this woman in front of him a different kind? This very different woman patted him on the shoulder very manly, and said with a smile: "Hey, Yang Hao, you are very good." "Ah? Me? It's not bad." Yang Hao couldn't keep up with her jumping thinking. "I heard what Xiaoyi said," Tang Yanyan praised: "You searched for the defeated army in Han, sympathized with their mother and child, and left money for them. Before the battle between the two armies, a war is about to break out. You can risk your life to save people. There is benevolence and righteousness. I remember when I was in Guangyuan, if it weren’t for you, my cousin would have been abducted by human traffickers. It seems that you are really warm-hearted, but it’s not like you said, just showing off your blood and courage. Good intentions Good news, you are now an imperial envoy, and you will definitely be promoted in terms of merit and deeds after you are entrusted, I would like to congratulate you in advance." Yang Hao smiled and said: "Originally, I always hoped that I could be promoted, but after this journey, I realized that if I want to be promoted to a high position, I don't know how many lives I have to spend in it. Alas, I now I don’t want to think so much, I just hope that these people can be brought to the place safely.” Speaking of this, his expression changed suddenly, he jumped up and said, "Be careful, there are snakes!" "Where, where is it?" Tang Yanyan was shocked, jumped up all of a sudden, approached him, and asked with his hand on the dagger at his waist. Yang Hao pointed out: "Look there." Tang Yanyan looked along his fingers, and couldn't help laughing. He saw a small grass-green snake, about as thick as chopsticks, slightly longer than chopsticks, winding its way through the grass. Tang Yanyan straightened her waist and said angrily, "Look at what you're making such a fuss about. Such a non-poisonous little grass snake can be killed with a single kick. Why do you need to make such a fuss?" Yang Hao, however, was facing a formidable enemy. It was not until the snake disappeared that he said with lingering fear: "Other animals are better, but I am afraid of snakes. This soft and colorful long insect makes my hair stand on end .To be honest, I would rather meet a pack of wolves and eat them, than fall into a snake den and be entangled by this sticky thing." Tang Yanyan chuckled and said, "It turns out that hero Yang, who rode alone in the ten thousand horse army, is even more afraid of snakes than a little girl like me. If I say it, I'm afraid I'll make others laugh." "Even if other people laughed their teeth off, they should be afraid." Yang Hao turned his head, suddenly realized that the two were standing very close, and stepped back quickly. Without snakes, what are you afraid of?" Yang Hao said solemnly: "It's better to keep a distance. Men and women are too close. If it is done well, it will be a good story, but if it is not done, it will become a gossip." Tang Yanyan blushed slightly on her white and jade-like cheeks, and spat lightly, "I will have a fart with you." "That's right, so you have to be more careful, otherwise gossip will spread?" Tang Yanyan sneered and said: "Who dares to gossip about this girl? Who is this girl afraid of gossiping?" Yang Hao spread his hands and said, "Since you are not afraid, let's sit down and continue talking." Tang Yanyan snorted and said, "My girl is not in such a good mood!" After she finished speaking, she put her hands on her back, turned around and walked away. After walking seven or eight steps, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, revealing a hint of smirk. Smiling: "A hero who is afraid of grass snakes, hehe, haha..." Looking at her graceful back, Yang Hao showed a trace of sentimentality in his eyes.Tang Yanyan's slender waist and long legs are scattered, and she has an indescribably charming taste.That graceful figure merged with the image of a beautiful woman in Yang Hao's memory: If she was still alive, sitting here side by side with me, looking at this paradise-like beauty on earth, how wonderful it would be... But...Yang Hao turned his head to look at the burning clouds in the sky, and sighed faintly: Yi Ren is already in heaven, but I am still in the world.
On the prairie, heavenly beauty. The white tents are like white mushrooms, scattered on the green prairie.This is a military camp, also located in the northwest, only a day and a half away from where Yang Hao and the others are resting. This is a team led by Empress Xiao.After the Khitans acted separately, they ravaged and plundered the northern border town of the Song Dynasty at will, and then returned to Khitan separately.Some made a detour back to the east, and some made a detour to the west. As long as they avoided the mountains that stretched across the north of Guangyuan, their fast horses naturally couldn't go anywhere. Luo Dong'er sat on the shaft of the car, with her legs curled up, her hands on her chin, and she looked into the distance, lost in thought.She came out of Bazhou, thinking about her brother Hao all the way. On that day, there were thousands of troops and spears, and she finally saw her brother Hao. He rode alone and rushed to the front of the two armies, Just to save a child. At that time, as long as a soldier accidentally shot an arrow, it might kill him.After all, this kind of thing is based on courage, not force.However, even those Khitan men who killed without blinking an eye gave him thumbs up and praised him. "That's my man!" Seeing the admiring expressions of the Khitan men, Luo Dong'er supported the railing of the army chariot, feeling proud and proud.What woman doesn't want her man to be an upright and admired man?My man is a great hero that even his enemies admire!Thinking of this, Luo Dong'er felt sweet in her heart, and when she saw those burly and fierce Khitan warriors, she was no longer so afraid. But... when will I be able to meet brother Hao?I'm on my way to Khitan now, and they've come to our country of Song again to "strike the grass valley".It's really hard to imagine that the one who gave this order was actually their empress, how could such a beautiful woman say robbing and killing without batting an eyelid?People from the Northern Kingdom are really very different from us in the Central Plains. The empresses of our Central Plains people will be wise and gentle masters of the harem, and they will never be able to put on armor, lead troops to gallop thousands of miles, and kill on the battlefield. According to the empress of the Khitan people, their territory is much larger than that of the Song Dynasty. It borders the Yellow Sea in the east and Jinshan Mountain in the west. It covers thousands of miles and is boundless.Now that I'm here, will I still have a chance to meet Brother Hao?When will I beg the empress to let me go? Luo Dong'er sighed faintly, and suddenly heard footsteps beside her, Luo Dong'er turned her head to look, and saw Brother Yeluxiu striding forward in a Han-style cool shirt, with his arms open, his attire very rough, his black hair pulled back On the side of his broad shoulders, water droplets are still hanging from the tips of his hair, it is obvious that he has just taken a bath. Luo Dong'er got up quickly, imitating the Khitan people's address to him, and called out obediently: "Brother Xiu." Seeing her, Brother Yeluxiu quickly smiled and said, "There's no need to be formal, you sit in your seat." He stood still, looked around, and muttered to himself, "Strange, it should have come back by this time." Luo Dong'er timidly said: "What is Master Xiu looking for?" Brother Yeluxiu was distracted and said: "It's strange that the eagle is looking for me. After going back and forth, it should be back anyway by this time. This eagle was trained by me. It won't eat traps randomly." Even with its steed, no one can shoot the food, it should be fine." Brother Yeluxiu frowned, strode up and down on the ground with his hands behind his back, his clothes were open, and there was a lifelike blue wolf head tattooed on his chest, looking so ferocious, Luo Dong'er couldn't help but timidly stepped back a few steps. Brother Yeluxiu turned his head to see her movements, and suddenly laughed: "Afraid?" Luo Dong'er nodded, afraid of offending him, she hurriedly explained: "I'm afraid... that wolf... is very vicious." "Wolf? Are wolves more vicious than humans?" Brother Yeluxiu sat down on the shaft of the car, looked at the grassland in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Wolves only hunt and kill prey for their lives when they are hungry, while humans It’s different, people will kill for power, for money, for fame, and even for... just for fun... Tell me... Who is more vicious, a wolf or a human?" "Of course... people are more vicious!" Luo Dong'er remembered their evil deeds of burning, killing and looting on the territory of the Han people, and suddenly mustered up her courage, and responded with a pun. It's a pity that when it comes to people's sophistication, she is still very immature in front of this brother Yeluxiu. Brother Yeluxiu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Miss, is this accusing us of invading the Central Plains? You don't understand military affairs, hehe, then I will Say something you can understand." He stood up, put his hands behind his back and took a few steps slowly, and stood facing the grassland. Although his clothes were half uncovered, he was tall and tall, and looked at him with pride: "Girl, today you blamed me for sending troops from Khitan, but yesterday you did not Blame Song for destroying Jinghu, destroying Shu, conquering Han and conquering Tang? You blame me, the Khitans, for sending troops to invade the Central Plains. Don’t forget that you Song people fought the Northern Han first. What is the purpose of fighting the Northern Han? Emperor Zhao’s personal conquest, Is it just for the city and counties, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians? If we don’t send troops today, you Song people will definitely invade our territory in the future.” He stood still, pointed to the south and said, "Why did you send troops to the north? Is it for food or for clothing? Neither, our north is a hundred times more difficult than that of the Song Dynasty. You Han people only send troops to expand the territory and build a world. Meritorious deeds add luster to the emperor's head. But what about us? The tribes on our grasslands nomad thousands of miles every year just to earn a bite of food.But our place is too miserable. In the case of white disasters, the sky is full of snow, and countless cattle and sheep freeze to death; what to do?In the eyes of you Han people, we Khitan people are vicious wolves, but sheep should eat grass when they are hungry, but what about wolves when they are hungry?Should he starve to death in vain?Why! On the grassland, for a piece of lush pasture, two tribes belonging to the same clan have to fight to the death, let alone for survival.If Han Jiaerlang and us Khitans were to switch positions, you lived on the grasslands and we lived in the Middle Earth, you would still think about fighting south all day long, and go to be the masters of that colorful world. " He turned to Luo Dong'er, baring his white teeth like a wolf, with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth: "For so many years, we Khitan people haven't gone south, has the Central Plains ever been peaceful? No, you Han people are fighting for power. Status, fighting and killing, how many people have been killed, how many cruel methods have been used, isn't it more ruthless than us Khitan people? When the Song Dynasty annexes all the countries and dominates the world, you must still be greedy. At that time, you will be eager to take the Sixteen States of Youyun, and you will occupy all the fertile land.You have guarded all the dangers, and we should be driven to the backcountry to fend for ourselves. We are human beings, why?Could it be that the law of heaven is just, and that you Han people should enjoy the blessings?It's just your strength! If it is based on justice and reason, then let’s sit down and have a good talk. The fertile soil of the Central Plains and the world of flowers and flowers should also be shared with us Khitan people. Will the Central Plains people agree?Well, I, Brother Yeluxiu, don’t think there is any real justice in this world, everything speaks by strength.If you Han people have the strength to drive us to the remote areas to earn our lives, then I will accept my fate.What if you don't have that strength?Why do you ask us to be content with the status quo?Girl, you are a Han Chinese, you think we are wrong.What if you are a Khitan?what would you think " Luo Dong'er was angry and accused: "Brother Xiu, if the purpose of looting food and grass is to survive, then what is the grand reason for killing unarmed people and raping the daughters of Han families indiscriminately?" Brother Yeluxiu grinned and said: "I'm talking about the root cause of the war, and that's the root cause. As for the chaos of war, many things that follow are beyond the control of those who started the war. Our warriors are poor. Just like beggars, if you want to encourage them to fight bravely, we have no way to reward them, so they have to rely on them to grab them. When you killed the Central Plains, why didn’t the poor side do this kind of thing? Since you are your life-and-death opponent, you still count on us Isn't it a big joke that the side with nothing is polite to the enemy?" These Khitan nobles not only wear Hanfu and speak Chinese, but they also have a thorough knowledge of works such as "Book of Rites", "Spring and Autumn", and all Central Plains works, and they debate clearly and logically.Brother Yeluxiu kept talking, seeing Luo Dong'er was silent, he couldn't help laughing. He turned around and glanced at the red burning clouds in the sky, suddenly thinking that dusk was approaching, he couldn't help but stop laughing, and his face turned serious again: "It's strange, it still hasn't come back. What a problem, I’m afraid I’m going to miss a big deal. No, I have to report to the empress, and if it’s a last resort, I’ll lead a team to the south to take care of it.” Thinking of this, Brother Yeluxiu hurriedly tied up his clothes, pursed his lips and whistled, a bay red horse rushed out of the grassland among the horses who had unsaddled their saddles and were grazing leisurely, and galloped towards him, its mane blowing in the wind like flames. Brother Yeluxiu stretched out his palm and jumped onto the smooth back of the horse. He turned his head, his burning eyes made no secret of his love for Luo Donger: "Girl, you are a weak girl, you should feel at ease and follow us to Khitan." Go. When you get there, you will find that we Khitan men also have a lot of righteous heroes. However, what you Han people uphold is the righteousness of the Han people, and what we Khitan men uphold is the righteousness of the Khitan people. You will find that , we Khitan women are equally good wives and loving mothers. The prairie wolves in your eyes are actually just as affectionate, righteous, and flesh and blood. I hope that you will like this place, and those who like this place will stay here forever!" After Yeluxiu finished speaking, he slapped his horse and galloped towards the queen's central army tent.
The night was getting dark, and the bright moon was in the sky, illuminating the earth in a clear light. Tang Yanyan spread out the soft bedding in the spacious carriage, and was about to turn around to cover the curtains and undress, when suddenly the dog poked its head out of the window. "Xiao Yi, you don't want to go to bed so late, do you still want to come and play with your sister?" "Hush..." Gou'er put his index finger on his lips, looked around furtively, and beckoned, "Sister Yan, come with me." "What's the matter, you little thing is very energetic, and my sister is sleepy." "Sister, come and see, it will be fine in a while." Tang Yanyan didn't understand, and slipped out of the car quietly, the dog immediately took her hand, and happily said: "Sister Yanyan, keep quiet, don't make any noise, let's go, Xiaoyi will take you to see some interesting things. " The dog couldn't help saying, pulled Tang Yanyan up and left. Tang Yanyan was very curious, so she hurriedly walked lightly, followed her across the grassland, and turned into the forest by the lake. "Sister, please be quiet, whisper, whisper." "What's the matter?" "You'll know it when you see it, come on." The dog was triumphant, as if he had something good to show off, he took her hand and limped around into the forest, and whispered: "Look, look, look!" ,keep your voice down." Tang Yanyan pressed a branch in front of him, looked forward, and saw a lantern hanging on the tree in front of him, Yang Hao stood there, with a wooden barrel beside him, humming, holding a The scoop scooped water to rinse the body, and then rubbed the body with a piece of loofah bag! God, he was naked.God, he... he turned around... Tang Yanyan screamed in his heart: "God, this girl's famous name in her life... It's all over!"
