Chapter 27 Chapter 27: Foster Father
Ono Ke'er and Chen Mo'er were imprisoned in a cave near the foot of the mountain. Because they were skilled in martial arts, Song Bing tied them to a pillar in the room. There was no light, and the cave was dark and humid.
Chen Mo'er was a little worried and said: "Xiao Ye Ke'er, what will they do with us. I think that Yang Qin officer is bewitching, he... he won't really want to snatch me, right?"
Xiaoye Ke'er comforted: "Chen Mo'er, don't be afraid, I am the young patriarch of the Yeli clan, unless they completely wipe out our Yeli clan, they will not dare to do anything to us. To repay kindness, to have revenge, to do anything for revenge, no one dares to be our enemy at will."
The two of them were talking, when they suddenly heard a strange sound from outside, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, then as soon as the torch outside the door was extinguished, the door opened with a creak, the two of them immediately shut their mouths, and turned to each other vigilantly. Looking at the door.
A tall and burly figure stood at the door, with moonlight on his shoulders, his facial features could not be seen clearly.He walked in slowly and stood still in front of the two of them. Ono Ke'er couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"
The man was silent for a moment, and suddenly said a party language.Dangxiang people have their own mother tongue, but Chinese has long been the most common language among their clan. In fact, many ordinary Dangxiang Qiang people can’t even speak their mother tongue. As the son of the patriarch, Ke’er Ono is Those who have learned this kind of language that is far less rich than Chinese and difficult to learn.
He was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly answered in the Dangxiang language.The two people kept talking to each other, and the speed of speech became faster and faster.At the side, Chen Mo'er could only understand some fragmentary sentences, she held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Ke'er Xiaoye, who is he, is he from our party Xiangqiang?"
The man smiled in a deep voice, took out a torch from his pocket, and hit it a few times. When sparks burst out, a torch in his hand burst into flames.
The fire suddenly lit up, Chen Moer's eyes subconsciously narrowed for a moment, and when he opened them again, he saw Mu Kui's appearance, recognized him as an enemy who had fought with them during the day, and couldn't help asking in astonishment: "Is he a Han?"
Keer Ono said in a deep voice: "He is not a Han, he is a member of our Dangxiang Tuoba clan."
Chen Mo'er was surprised: "Tuoba family? Isn't that our big enemy?"
Ono Ke'er shook her head slightly, and said: "Xiazhou's current master... is our enemy. And he is the real master of Xiazhou, the servant of Master Li Guangcen. The person we are looking for has been found, he... right here!"
Li Guangcen sat cross-legged in the tent, with a torch sticking obliquely on the post, the turpentine was burning "crackling", and the light of the fire reflected his face bright and dark.His eyes were slightly squinted, and he was deep in thought, thinking over and over again. At this moment, the only person he could think of who could entrust him with the heavy responsibility was Yang Hao. Yang Hao, when he was about to step into the Song Dynasty, could still calmly judge that the death trap was opening ahead, this is great wisdom.As an imperial envoy from the Song Dynasty, his personal future was completely tied to the official family, but he was able to brazenly seize the position, abandon his personal future, and lead tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to the west. This is great courage.Ziwugu rode alone and rescued Xiaotong in front of the two armies. It was Daren.It is righteousness to resolutely break the bridge on the Zhulang River.Looking at his behavior, he is upright, and only such a person will treat his own people kindly and treat them as his own people. But... will he continue this mess?He is not an ordinary person, he is an official of the Song Dynasty, he has a bright future, for no reason, he will bear this responsibility? Li Guangcen thought about it, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Perhaps, all of this is really God's will. The old man wants to find someone who is reliable and capable enough to take on this responsibility. As for him, his problems, Isn't it only the old man who can solve it for him? He had already fulfilled his responsibility, but rushed back after hearing Ye Zhixuan's words, obviously he regarded the safety of these tens of thousands of people as his responsibility.And Zhe Yuxun put tens of thousands of Northern Han people here because he was wary of the Song court.These tens of thousands of people staying here are like a piece of meat on a cutting board, which can only be slaughtered.The secret war between Kaifeng and Fuzhou lasted for a day, and these tens of thousands of people were a chess piece that could be sacrificed at any time in the hands of both sides.General Zhe was forced to do so, and the Song court was beyond his reach. Only he could untie this knot for him, and he was afraid that he would not take up this burden of his own? " Li Guangcen was thinking about it, and Mu En outside the tent said in a deep voice: "My lord, Yang Qin has arrived." Li Guangcen's smile faded away, and he hurriedly said, "Please!" He was about to get up. Yang Hao has already walked in.From Li Guangcen down, everyone was tall and tall, so this tent was built much taller than other tents. Yang Hao walked in without bending his waist.Seeing that Li Guangcen was about to get up, Yang Hao hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Mu Lao doesn't need to get up, please sit down. Mu Lao is not resting yet, I don't know if you want to come to me, what do you want to say?" Li Guangcen looked at him, and suddenly sighed softly, Yang Hao frowned, and said in surprise, "Old Mu, what's wrong with you?" Li Guangcen sighed softly: "Yang Qinchao has become an imperial mission angel at a young age. He is a man of great ability. He was born so handsome, the old man looked at it, and couldn't help but think of my child..." Yang Hao said: "Oh, Mr. Yang has never heard Mr. Mu mention Mr. Ling. I don't know where Mr. Ling is now. He needs to choose a good place to settle down. Mr. Mu can send a message for him to come and meet you, father and son. Reunion, stay together forever." Li Guangcen raised his head slightly, looked at the corner of the tent, sighed leisurely, and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to come to see me, maybe soon... I will go to see him." Yang Hao moved his face and said: "Old Mu... Are you ready to leave here?" Li Guangcen shook his head slightly and said: "The old man is not going to leave here, but his serious illness is getting worse, and he may die soon. At that time...hehe, the old man will be able to see his wife and children." Yang Hao was taken aback for a moment, only then did he realize that his wife and children were dead.Li Guangcen said to himself: "If he is still alive, he should be about the same age as you now... Envoy Yang Qin, you have always been curious about my identity. I invite you here today. I might as well tell you that this old man is indeed not ordinary. Farmers are not the people of the Northern Han Dynasty." Yang Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't interrupt, just listening to him, Li Guangcen said: "This old man is the young master of a clan in the Western Regions, that was... more than forty years ago, when Shi Jingtang was the emperor At that time, the old man was still a young man, and according to the customs of the clan, he was sent to another powerful clan as a hostage. Later, my father died of illness, and my uncle usurped the power, and I, the young master, ended up with no family to return to. situation." Yang Hao gave a soft "ah", and Li Guangcen sighed a few times, and said again: "From then on, I wandered on the grasslands of foreign races with my entourage, married a wife, and gave birth to a son. At that time, my entourage also Most of them married wives and had children, and they took in some wandering families on the prairie, and gradually became a small tribe. However, my uncle was worried that I would go back and seize his power, so he kept sending people to hunt me down. Once he The people found my whereabouts and launched a surprise attack on my tribe at night. The followers fought desperately and rescued me. However, my wife and children both died tragically. At that time... he was only five years old." Yang Hao comforted him: "Old Mu, that happened many years ago. Over the past few decades, the world has changed like a vicissitudes of life, turning into smoke in a blink of an eye. Countless heroes have become old things in the wind. Don't be sad anymore." Li Guangcen closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, the mist in his eyes had disappeared and became bright again: "Yes, the vicissitudes of life have turned into smoke in a blink of an eye. Over the years, I have forgotten my homeland. The old ambition, It's also gone. The hatred of my wife, now that I mention it, the hatred is gone. The old man's heart... has long since died. However, the old man still has one unfulfilled wish. The only thing that the old man can't let go of is these subordinates who have followed him for many years.They are loyal, and have been wandering with the old man in the grassland for so many years, and they have never had the slightest thought of betrayal.This old man... is ashamed of them. If they are not given a proper place to live, this old man... will die with regret.Yang Qincha, the old man came to you because he wanted to entrust them to you. Only Yang Qincha is a man, so the old man can rest assured. " When Yang Hao heard that this was the case, he hurriedly said: "Mu Lao, I think you are in good health, and you can easily live another 30 to 50 years. Don't say such depressing words. As for those who follow you, there is no problem. , no matter whether you were originally the people of the Northern Han Dynasty or the Hu people of the Western Regions, but now you are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Hao must find a way to properly arrange you." Li Guangcen briefly explained his identity in a few words, many places were sloppy, there were many tribes in the Western Regions, and the names of many tribes were not even recorded in history. After so many years of wandering, there are only a dozen big men like Mu En left by his side, so he agreed wholeheartedly. Li Guangcen shook his head and said: "Emissary Yang Qin, my subordinates, not only the few people around me, but also thousands of tribesmen struggling to survive on the grasslands of the Turpan people. If I can't find someone who I can entrust to the old man, I will How dare you let them travel long distances." Yang Hao was taken aback: "So many people?" Li Guangcen said: "Yes, you are the parent officer of the people, and you are also a parent officer who truly loves the people like a son. I have nothing to worry about entrusting them to you, but my subordinates are too arrogant and unruly, so I'm afraid it will be difficult. Driven by others. Therefore, the old man wants Yang Qin envoy to worship the old man as a foster father, and you and I have the name of father and son, so they will regard you as their master, Yang Qin envoy, can you agree?" After Li Guangcen finished speaking, his eyes were burning, and he looked closely at Yang Hao. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, accepting adopted sons was a very widespread social custom. Even Emperor Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty Li Siyuan, Emperor Li Congke of the Later Tang Dynasty, Emperor Shizong Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Shu Wangjian, Emperor Jing Gao Jixing, Emperor Li Min of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Northern Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Jien and Emperor Liu Jiyuan of the Northern Han Dynasty were all sons of the late emperor. Even if the royal family is like this, it is conceivable how strong the folk atmosphere is. Yang Hao has inherited Ding Hao's memory, and he has heard about it to some extent, so it is not surprising for Li Guangcen's proposal, but... After all, it is his original personality that dominates him. Consciousness, it feels uncomfortable to recognize a godfather for no reason, and Yang Hao can't help hesitating. Li Guangcen said calmly: "They all have skills. As long as you agree, you will be their master from now on. Wherever your whip is directed, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of swords and thousands of troops, they will lead to death. Such loyalty Geng Geng's subordinates, you will never find them again." Yang Hao smiled wryly and said: "Mu Lao, if it was on the grassland, anyone would be salivating to have such a tribe and such a force that cannot be ignored. But... this is the Great Song Dynasty, who can Allow me to have such a force? How do you want me to place them." Li Guangcen chuckled and said, "Emissary Yang Qin, you just don't want to take on a heavy responsibility for no reason. With your ingenuity, as long as you are willing, why not settle them properly? You say you can't settle my thousands of people, you Is there a way to resettle the tens of thousands of people brought out by you?" Li Guangcen smiled slightly, and said: "If the old man's expectations are correct, General Zhe will never choose another place to resettle these people, and the Song court will not be able to turn against Fuzhou for them at this time. Chi Zhong The general will not stay here with his soldiers all the time. At that time, the tens of thousands of people will have to stay here to be fished by mermaids. They were brought out by Mr. Yang himself. They treat you like a second-born parent, you... ...Can't bear to watch them suffer? As long as you promise to take care of my thousands of people, how about this deadlock, this old man will help you?" Yang Hao's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Old Mu, your thousands of people are all herdsmen wandering on the grasslands, they must be good at riding and shooting, and good at galloping in battle. Excluding women and children among these thousands of people, there are at least one or two Thousands of elite soldiers, if they rely on the favorable location to guard Luhe Ridge, then unless Xiazhou and Fuzhou go to war head-on, they will be able to protect this place completely, right?" Li Guangcen smiled: "Yang Qinshi, your guess is just one of them. The old man still has some secrets in his heart, but... the old man can only tell it to his adopted son, and will not tell you this imperial envoy. The old man is a adoptive father, and the old man has greater benefits for you." Yang Hao raised his brows and said: "Mu Lao, I can't figure out why you must recognize you as a foster father and why you must be their young master. You must know that I am an official of the court, so I may not be able to stay in the This Fugu, maybe tomorrow the imperial decree will be issued, and I will have to be an official in a different place, then... what will you do with thousands of people, are you coming with me?" Li Guangcen said with a chuckle: "Men on the grassland are like fierce and fierce wolves. They can forage by themselves and don't need other people's care. In fact, over the years, I have often left them outside alone. But five Every wolf needs a head wolf, and a hundred wolves need a wolf king. A pack of wolves roars in the mountains and forests, haunts the grasslands, and wherever they pass, the world changes color. A leader with great wisdom, courage, benevolence and righteousness is indispensable. If If you want to be an official, then go ahead and do so. I only hope that after my death, you will be able to take care of them. This old man is selfish and hopes that my ethnic group can be preserved instead of blending into the tens of thousands of people. Among them, after a hundred years, there is no trace and no trace, and all children and grandchildren have become ordinary farmers." Yang Hao hesitated in his heart, he didn't mind calling the old man a adoptive father, but even though Li Guangcen deliberately concealed some things that should be said but didn't say, he still faintly felt that things were not as simple as worshiping a foster father as he said.However, relieving the worries of these tens of thousands of people is his biggest concern now, and it is something he cannot solve.If the old man surnamed Mu can really solve it, should I promise him? Li Guangcen suddenly let out a long sigh, and said sadly: "Yang Hao, aside from your desire to save these tens of thousands of people, and my desire to entrust a reliable master to my thousands of people, it's just me, a lonely old man , want to recognize a adopted son to comfort my old feelings, you...can't you call me foster father?" The voice was extremely bitter, and when he looked up, Li Guangcen had a beard and gray hair, and the wrinkles on his face were as if cut by a knife, and there was begging and sadness in his eyes.When I first met him, he was sitting cross-legged in a car. Although he was fleeing, he gave people the feeling of Mount Tai with pines and Donghai Jieshi, aloof and upright.Now, what made him lower his figure and lower his proud head? Yang Hao's heart became hot, and he blurted out: "Mu Lao, it's not difficult for me to obey your adoptive father, but... I don't want to change Yang to Mu, this surname... I hope to keep it. If Mu Lao agrees, Yang Hao is willing to recognize Mu Lao as Mu Lao. foster father!" The adoptive son at that time was different from the godson of later generations. The adopted son would take the surname of his adoptive father. The Yang character Yang Hao was to commemorate his deceased mother. He did not want to abandon his family and change his surname. Li Guangcen was moved and said: "Is this really true?" Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Yang Hao promises a thousand gold!" A smile slowly formed on the corner of Li Guangcen's mouth, that smile was like a hunter watching a tiger fall into his trap, very proud: "Hehe, good, I will answer you. The old man's original origin , is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, with the surname of Ji. Later it was changed to Tuoba, and when Emperor Wei Xiaowen changed his surname to Yuan. After Wei died, his surname was restored to Tuoba. At the beginning of Tang Dynasty, he had to be given the surname Li. To avoid people’s eyes and ears, the old man has now changed his surname again Mu surname, what's so great about this surname being changed, so what if my clan members are named Yang from now on?" Yang Hao was at a loss when he heard this. He didn't expect the origin of the old man surnamed Mu to be so complicated. After thinking for a moment, he finally figured out a little bit of clues, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Tuoba family, Li surname? Mu Lao you ... Which clan are you the young master of?" Li Guangcen coughed lightly and said, "My son, now... you should call this old man a righteous father!"
Li Guangcen sat cross-legged in the tent, with a torch sticking obliquely on the post, the turpentine was burning "crackling", and the light of the fire reflected his face bright and dark.His eyes were slightly squinted, and he was deep in thought, thinking over and over again. At this moment, the only person he could think of who could entrust him with the heavy responsibility was Yang Hao. Yang Hao, when he was about to step into the Song Dynasty, could still calmly judge that the death trap was opening ahead, this is great wisdom.As an imperial envoy from the Song Dynasty, his personal future was completely tied to the official family, but he was able to brazenly seize the position, abandon his personal future, and lead tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to the west.
