Chapter 6 The sixth round of reunion of flesh and blood is like a family in a lifetime

The man took off his shirt while talking, and saw a scar the size of a copper coin on his right shoulder. Although Li Sinan didn't see the real face of the assassin who left the letter to him that night, Li Sinan did see his figure and his swordsmanship.That "assassin" was hit by a guard's throwing knife that night, and it was his right shoulder that was injured.Now that the man showed his scars, Li Sinan certainly had no doubts. Li Sinan said: "Thank you for your guidance, I have come here according to the appointment, I don't know why you invited me?" The man smiled and said: "It's not that I asked you out, but there is a person in Songfeng Valley who wants to see you, and I invited you here on his behalf."

Li Sinan said: "Who is that person?" The man smiled and said, "Of course you know when you see him. I just want to ask you, do you have doubts in your heart now?" Li Sinan said: "Exactly. That's why I came here specially to ask you to give me some advice." The man said: "Your 'maze', only that person can give you pointers. Well, you come with me now. Let's talk slowly." Li Sinan followed him and asked his name on the way, only then did he know that his surname was Yang, with the word "Tao" in his name.Li Sinan said: "Brother Yang has a good set of fallen leaf swordsmanship, do you dare to believe that Brother Yang is a member of Emei's sect?"

Yang Tao said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide from the young master's eyes. My teacher Pei Shudu is the head disciple of the Emei Sect." Li Sinan was very happy, it turned out that Pei Shudu and his master Gu Pingyang were close friends, they were called "Shuangxiu of the Martial Arts" in their early years, because they had the same identity, they were both the most outstanding figures in the second generation of Shaolin and Emei. Li Sinan once heard his master talk about Pei Shudu's deeds, but because Emei Mountain is in Sichuan, it belongs to the territory of Southern Song Dynasty; Songshan Shaolin Temple is in Henan, it is under the rule of Jin Kingdom.So Gu Pingyang and Pei Shudu didn't meet much.In the past ten years, because the Jin and Song Dynasties are often in a state of war, the two have not met each other.However, although they haven't met many times in their lives and the news has been interrupted for another ten years, their friendship is still not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Li Sinan talked about his mentorship, and Yang Tao said with a smile: "I also heard from Master that Gu Daxia accepted a proud disciple, and it turned out to be you. You probably hadn't debuted at that time, and the person who brought the news was also I don't know your name yet." Li Sinan said: "I started late, and I have never paid homage to Daxia Pei. I never expected to see Brother Yang today. In this way, we are not outsiders. But I don't know why Brother Yang came to Mongolia?" Yang Tao said: "I've been here for seven years, and it's hard to say... well, Pine Wind Valley has arrived, let's talk about my affairs later."

This Songfeng Valley is a ravine between two peaks, unlike the so-called valley that is at the bottom.This ravine is full of pine trees, and the cool breeze is blowing, which is worthy of the name.The fragrance of pine nuts in the wind is refreshing. Li Sinan said: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the name of Pine Wind Valley. But if Brother Yang hadn't led you to such a secluded place, how could I have found it?" While speaking, he arrived outside a cave dwelling.Yang Tao whispered, "Take your steps lightly." Li Sinan bent down and followed him into the cave with some curiosity and some trepidation.

The entrance of the cave is narrow, but the inside is very wide.Li Sinan took a closer look, and saw that the cave was decorated like an ordinary farm bedroom, with haystacks as beds, an old man was lying there, and a young girl was sitting beside the old man. The girl was a little surprised to see a stranger coming in.Yang Tao said, "I brought Mr. Li here." The girl glanced at Li Sinan, she seemed to understand, but she shook her hand and said, "The patient just fell asleep, don't wake him up." The old man suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Who is here?" It turned out that he had been ill for a long time and was weak.

Yang Tao said: "The old man likes it so much, I brought your son!" These two words are like a panacea, the old man's eyes lit up, Huo Di sat up, and said: "Come closer, let me take a closer look, is it really my Nan'er?" Li Sinan had already guessed that this old man was his father, but because he had been deceived once, he didn't dare to recognize him for a while.So even though he approached the old man, he didn't kneel down and kowtow to call him father. The light in the cave is weak, but Li Sinan is a person who has practiced hidden weapons, and his eyesight is better than ordinary people. At this time, he has been in the cave for a while, and he is gradually getting used to the dim light in the cave.With a glance, I saw a piece of parchment hanging on the wall with words on it. Looking carefully, it was a Tang poem. The ink stains were still fresh, and I think it was written not long ago.

The old man sighed, and said: "I have been waiting for you for many days, thinking that you will not come. Two days ago, I was so homesick, I wrote this poem of homesickness by Tang poet Cui Lishan, unexpectedly you came today . How is your mother?" Li Sinan didn't care about answering, so he read this poem first. The poem said: "The water flows and the flowers thank the two ruthlessly, sending the east wind across the city of Chu. Butterflies dream of homes for thousands of miles, and the cuckoo branches change three times last month. The poems in the hometown move through the years, and Huafa spring reminds them." There are two temples. If you don’t return, you will get it. Who will compete for the misty scenery of the five lakes?”

The feeling of homesickness is fully expressed through this poem.But what Li Sinan paid attention to was not the poem itself, but the handwriting, and at a glance, it was exactly the same as his father's handwriting that he was familiar with. Li Sinan wept bitterly, knelt down and said: "The unfilial son came late, so tired that Daddy suffered. Mom, Mom is in good health, just waiting for Daddy to go back!" The old man smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. I'm already content to see you." Li Sinan swallowed his tears and said, "Father, don't be sad, you will be fine. Let's talk after you rest."

Li Sinan persuaded his father not to be sad, but he was very sad in his heart, his father was only about fifty years old, he shouldn't be aging like this. "I don't know how much torture Daddy has suffered. The wrinkles on his forehead are the evidence of the Mongols' crimes! I hate that I was deceived by the traitor, and I almost knew the thief as my father." Li Sinan thought to himself. The girl brought a bowl of herbal tea and said, "Father, you can talk after you drink the medicine." Li Sinan was a little surprised to hear the girl call his father "Father", but at this moment, as long as he knew about his father, he would There is no time to ask about the identity of the girl.

This bowl of herbal tea contains ginseng. After drinking it, Li Xihao became more energetic and said, "Did you bring the book of war I annotated? This is my unfulfilled wish. Apart from your mother and son, I have always The only thing I miss is this book. I still remember that this book has a total of 112 pages, and I only annotated 68 pages. Have you ever read it?" Li Sinan said: "This book is on my body, and I have read it. The first half has your annotations, and I can understand it very clearly. Unfortunately, when it comes to the second half without annotations, I don't understand it very well." Li Xihao took the book his son gave him, flipped through it, his eyes glowed with joy, but then he sighed and said: "I don't have the energy to continue, you keep it well, you can finish this for me in the future A job. Well, I was really worried that you would be cheated by that person, and now I feel relieved." After finishing speaking, he handed the book back to Li Sinan. Li Sinan hid the military book and said, "Who is that man, I just want to know." Li Xihao said: "I know he is using my name forfeitly now. His original name was Yu Yizhong, and he was my best friend in the prisoner camp. Unexpectedly, this best friend would later harm me the most. Miserable people." At this point, he coughed again and again. Li Sinan said: "Father, speak slowly. The child will avenge you!" Li Xihao said: "I can't wait to tell you all at once. Okay, let's talk slowly. "I met him when we were reclaiming wasteland in the north of Kulunchi. There were as many as two to three thousand Han captives in reclaiming the wasteland. The Mongol Tartars were impatient to remember the names of our Han people. They numbered the prisoners. I am eight hundred and seven No. 13, this Yu Yizhong is No. 874, so we are in the same team during the day, and share the same barracks at night. He has studied and knows a little martial arts, so I can get along with him better. I grew up and became good friends naturally. The Mongolian Tatars only knew me as No. 873 and him as No. 874. The names Li Xihao and Yu Yizhong were very familiar to the Tatars at that time. Still don't know." Li Xihao took a sip of ginseng soup and continued: "The life of reclaiming wasteland is miserable. Of course, there are people who are greedy for life and fear of death in the captive camp, but there are more people who are unwilling to be bullied by the Tartars. So I contacted you secretly. A group of people planned to escape, including the rest of them. "Yu Yizhong and I knew a little bit about martial arts, so we were promoted as leaders. We planned to escape in two groups. The first group escaped successfully, and the second group followed suit. Because if there are too many people, it is difficult to hide from the enemy's eyes and ears. Therefore, we must Separate operations. Our plan was quite careful. We expected that once the first group escaped from the camp, they might be discovered by the Tartars. At that time, the Tartars would have to use a large number of manpower to hunt them down. It would be much easier for the second group to follow suit and flee. And the escape of the second group can induce the Tartars to divide their troops, and the pressure on those who escaped first can also be relieved. "Of course, any careful plan must have an element of risk. Escape first and escape later, you have to take risks. The order of escape was decided that night. It turned out that Yu Yizhong led the first group to escape first, and I was the second. Batch leaders. "Unexpectedly, after the first group escaped from the camp, the Tartars found out and did not send troops to chase after them, but immediately blocked the exit. None of the second group who were about to escape could escape. "Those who fled first hadn't passed Kulun Pond, another group of Mongolian cavalry had already arrived there to wait for them. As a result, the first group of escaped people were caught by the enemy. The dead were dead, the wounded were wounded, and those who were lucky were not injured. They were all captured, and Yu Yizhong was one of the prisoners who was "luckily" not injured. "The Tatars threatened to kill all the people they captured unless they confessed the mastermind. I stood up and confessed. The Tartars used torture to force me to confess my accomplices. I kept silent and called them. You have to die. "The Tartars couldn't get anything out of me, so they imprisoned me. I was so wounded that I couldn't move. They thought I was determined not to escape, so they didn't send any special guards. They just came every few days. Come and whip me, keep me half-dead, and hope that when I can't bear the beating, I will submit to them." Li Sinan's eyes were filled with tears, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The methods of the Tartars are so ruthless, it's really annoying, hateful, and can be killed! However, they didn't send special guards, I'm afraid there are tricks in it, not necessarily because of the serious injury of Daddy. Therefore." Li Xihao sighed and said: "You are smarter than me, but I didn't think of this level at the time, so I was plotted by the villain." Li Sinan said: "This villain must be Yu Yizhong?" Li Xihao said: "That's right. He came to see me secretly several times, and each time he brought food and medicine. Although these medicines can't cure my illness, they can make me linger. I didn't know his condition at the time." Sincerely, I am still very grateful to him. Every time he comes, he always looks filled with righteous indignation, and keeps saying that he is going to surrender himself, so as to alleviate my "criminal responsibility", otherwise I will die with him. I am grateful for his "loyalty" ’, exhausted his tongue to dissuade him.” Li Sinan said: "This traitor's tricks are so clever, no wonder Dad regards him as a good person. Dad, when did you see his true colors?" Li Xihao rested for a while, and said: "After about half a year after the escape, the attitude of the Mongol Tartars towards the Han captives suddenly changed greatly. The beatings and scoldings became less and less, and the small favors and favors were given more and more. More and more. It can be seen that the Mongol Tartars intend to win over us Han people. "Soon, the Tartar officials in the captive camp issued a notice saying that anyone who has a skill and is willing to work for them can register. After registration, he can be released from the captive camp immediately and sent to Helin. Assignment of work. Some people could not stand the temptation and ran to register, and they were released as expected. "The reason why the Tartars changed their policies soon became known to us. It turned out that Mongolia was planning to form an alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty to cut gold, and it wanted to use us Han people. "Yu Yizhong didn't go to register. I was still the same as usual. I was still imprisoned by the Tartars and was whipped every ten or eight days. They were polite to other prisoners, but they didn't relax to me. "It didn't relax, but it didn't tighten up. Because the other prisoners were more relaxed, some courageous friends also came to visit me secretly, and I got more news from the outside world. I asked them to expose the conspiracy of the Tartars, Tell your companions not to be fooled. Among those who listened to my advice, Yu Yizhong was of course included. "One day, a news came suddenly. The tartars were inquiring in this prisoner camp, asking if there was Li Xihao!" Li Sinan said: "Daddy, how do they know about you?" Li Xihao said: "I heard that it was because Genghis Khan wanted to recruit talents. Someone in the prisoner camp I was in used to inform me that there was a man like Li Xihao, the son of a general, who was very capable, so Genghis Khan wanted to find me for him. work. "As I said, the Han captives are all numbered and don't use their original names. I don't want others to know my name, so even if they are fellow prisoners in the camp, only a few people know my name. Yu Yizhong It was one of them. Later I learned that after the announcement of this news, several people who knew my real name and surname died strangely and violently one by one within a few days. In the prisoner camp, the death is very common , and the Tartars didn't investigate. I didn't know at the time, I just thought it was a little strange that these friends didn't come to see me. "Of course Yu Yizhong didn't die, he took care of me more thoughtfully. "One night, he came to see me alone and persuaded me, saying that since there is such an opportunity, why not admit his identity, pretend to surrender, and suffer less pain? When he is healthy, it is not too late to escape. "Of course I refused to obey, and I reprimanded him. I said that I advised others not to be fooled by the Tartars. How could I find an excuse for myself and try to survive? I would rather die than tarnish my integrity." !" Li Sinan clapped his hands and said, "Daddy scolded you well, how is Yu Yizhong?" Li Xihao said: "He laughed out loud!" Li Sinan said angrily: "Hmph, he is shameless and still laughing? But that's good too. In this way, Dad can see right through him?" Li Xihao said: "No, I was deceived even worse by him. After he laughed, he said: 'Xihao, you really deserve to be a hard-working man. Just now, I specially tested you. Now I can rest assured. But I can’t let you die. Now that the Tartars are trying to win over us Han people, the guards are not as strict as before. There is no danger, but the hope of success is great. It's a pity that I completely believed him when I told him this. I was only thinking about the fear of getting him involved, and I didn't even think about whether he wanted me to escape. conspiracy. "He patted his chest, vowed to live and die with me, and blamed me: 'Xihao, you are only allowed to sacrifice your life generously, and I am not allowed to be righteous? Since at most it is only a death, why not take a risk? If you can escape , Wouldn’t it be better to die silently in a captive camp while remaining useful?’ "He spoke impassionedly, but I didn't understand his 'good intentions'. I had no choice but to let him escape on my back. This time, I escaped from the prisoner camp very smoothly." Li Sinan said: "He didn't inform the Tartars, but wanted to escape with you, what is his purpose?" Li Xihao said: "He may get some rewards for the whistleblowing, but the benefits don't continue to lie to me. Listen to me." After taking another sip of ginseng soup, Li Xihao continued: "I was tortured too severely, and my body was already very weak. I fled with him to the barren mountains, ate wild vegetables, and lived in caves. My illness became more and more serious. He apologized to me." , said that I knew this earlier, and it was fine not to escape. I said: "No! As long as I die at the hands of the enemy, or die, I will die with peace!" Indeed, although my body was suffering at that time, my spirit was still alive. Much more pleasant than being in a prisoner's camp. For that reason I am very grateful to him. "I 'depend on each other' with him. He is my only friend. We face each other day and night. I can only talk to him if I have anything to say. I miss home when I am sick. Before I know it, I tell him everything about my family. "My illness is getting worse and worse. I know that death is not far away. Although I can die in peace, I still have two things in my heart. The first is you, and the second is the book of war that I have not compiled yet. . "I told him, when I was captured, you were only three years old. If your mother and child survived the war, you should be twenty-three years old now. So I 'please' him, hoping that he can Go to my hometown and find you." Li Sinan smiled bitterly: "No wonder he knows my age and birthday. He found me, and I was deceived by him." Li Xihao continued: "The second thing I am concerned about is this military book. I told Yu Yizhong to ask him to get this military book from you after he finds your mother and son. This time you were deceived by this traitor, did he have it?" Ask you for a military letter?" Li Sinan said: "The next night, he tried to defraud me of this military book. At that time, I didn't know that he was a counterfeit, but I already doubted his character, so I lied to cover it up. Fortunately, I didn't fall for him. Right." Li Xihao continued: "My original intention was to ask him to take the book of war to Jiangnan and dedicate it to a general who is really willing to fight against the enemy. My wish has been fulfilled. I am so sorry that I am so confused. Tian Di didn’t know at all that he wanted to steal my book of war for himself in order to claim credit for the Great Khan of the Tartars. I actually let him know this secret and solemnly ‘pleased’ him.” Although Li Sinan knew that his father was not killed by Yu Yizhong, when he heard this, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh! Dad, you told him all the secrets, this is really dangerous!" Li Xihao sighed, and said in a low voice: "You guessed right. After he took all my secrets, his complexion suddenly changed, and he laughed and said: 'Xihao, you are going to die anyway, Chi Death and death are the same. I don’t have time to suffer with you in this barren mountain. Why don’t I send you back to the west early and give you a great relief!” After that, my hands tightly clutched my throat, and I couldn’t breathe. He was still laughing and said: "For the sake of old friends, I let you die, and I am doing you a favor." "In a blink of an eye, I was out of breath, my pulse stopped, my breath was cut off, and I was unconscious. I don't know how long it took, but I heard a rustling sound in a daze, and for some reason, I seemed to have a little consciousness. Presumably he thought I had died long ago, and the resentful look on my face when I was dying frightened him, so he let go of my hand. "I regained a bit of consciousness, and found that I was lying in a pit, and the traitor Yu Yizhong was shoveling soil beside him, needless to say, he was going to bury me alive. "I just regained a little consciousness, I can't move my body, and I can't scream, but fortunately, I can't scream. If I scream, this traitor will definitely kill me. "The traitor was shoveling the soil while still smiling triumphantly: 'Xihao, you have fulfilled my fame and fortune, and I will bury your body so that you don't become food for vultures. You should also be grateful to me.' I know He buried my 'corpse', but he didn't want people to find out. He couldn't completely destroy my 'corpse', the only way was to bury me alive and fill up the soil. Does anyone else know that there is such a thing in the barren hills? A murdered body? "I was so angry that I could not swear, but I could only hear the sound of rustling, and Yu Yizhong shoveled the dirt on my body, covering my hands, covering my feet, covering my body. His head and eyes were pitch black, he couldn't see the sun, and his whole body was enclosed in the mud. One shovel of sand, another shovel of sand..." Li Sinan was terrified when he heard that, and shouted: "Father, don't talk any more." Li Xihao smiled wryly and said, "Are you afraid? I've already died once, and now I don't think death is terrible. If you don't dare to listen, I'll just say it briefly." The girl poured out the rest of the ginseng soup, let Li Xihao drink it, and said: "Father, you can talk after you rest." Li Xihao said with a smile: "Now I'm going to talk about you. I've said this paragraph, and I can let you talk about the future." Li Xihao drank the ginseng soup, and continued: "At that time, I thought that my feet had stepped into the gate of hell, and I was waiting to die with my eyes closed. Suddenly, I heard the sound of talking, and then I heard the sound of disorderly footsteps. I didn't know until later Well, when the traitor Yu Yizhong saw someone approaching, he probably thought I was already dead. He was afraid that someone would find out what he was doing and catch him on the spot, so he ran away in a panic. "Fortunately, I was still breathing, and I was pulled back from the gate of hell. Nan'er, you should know who saved me? It's their brothers and sisters!" Only then did Li Sinan realize that this girl was Yang Tao's younger sister, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, thanking them for saving their father.Yang Tao supported his body, keeping his knees from landing on the ground, and said, "There is no reason in this world to ignore death. I just did what I should do. Besides, my sister is your sister, thank you Say, I can barely bear it. If you kowtow to my sister, how can she bear it? Yes, I haven't told you yet, the name of the sister's single name is "wan", and Uncle Duomeng can afford it She adopted her as a goddaughter. I am not as lucky as her, and I want to be my godfather, but the old man refuses to agree. " Li Xihao smiled and said, "I have taken in a goddaughter, which has already broken my fortune." It turned out that Yang Tao was ten years older than his sister.Li Xihao can recognize his younger sister as a goddaughter, but if he is considered father and son, they are not commensurate in age. After Li Xihao said this, he suddenly said with a serious face: "It is of course what you think you should do to save me; it is also right for Nan'er to kowtow to your sister! Nan'er, let me tell you, I can live till now , it all depends on your sister Wan. In the past six months, she has served me in her clothes, and my daughter is really closer than my own daughter!" "Nephew Tao, don't stop him. If he doesn't kowtow for me, my heart won't be at peace." Li Sinan broke free from Yang Tao's hand, and immediately knelt down to kowtow to Yang Wan.Yang Wan was embarrassed to help him up, her face flushed with shame, so she also knelt down to kowtow to Li Sinan in return. Li Xihao laughed happily and said: "That's fine, it's rare that you treat each other like guests. You should recognize your brother and sister in front of me, so that I can be happy." Yang Tao didn't read much and didn't find the words "respect each other as guests" too harsh. Li Sinan felt embarrassed when he heard it, and his face turned red instantly.You must know that these four words can only be used between husband and wife, how can they be used indiscriminately between brothers and sisters? Li Sinan blushed and said, "Thank you Wanmei." Yang Wan said: "Brother Nan is here, it's all good. Daddy misses you the most. Your visit is better than a panacea for curing diseases. Daddy will definitely be able to divination without medicine." Li Sinan said: "I hope so." Seeing Yang Wan's generosity, he naturally let go of his embarrassment, thinking in his heart: "Daddy is ill and confused, and it's not unusual to use the wrong idioms by chance. If I'm worried, I'll be thinking instead traces." Li Xihao smiled and said: "Now I only have one wish that has not been fulfilled. Well, I will talk to you in two days." He looked at his son, then at Yang Wan, thoughtful in his heart, with an expression on his face. Slightly tired. Yang Wan said: "Yes, Father, you have talked a lot today, it's time to rest." Li Xihao didn't know whether it was because he was too tired or because he had nothing to worry about, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep soon after. Yang Wan said in a low voice: "Daddy hasn't slept well for several nights, and it's rare for him to sleep comfortably. Brother, the ginseng has just been used up, so go find it again." It turned out that the wild ginseng abounds in Mount A'erge. Well, Li Xihao was able to linger on and survive because Yang Tao dug up wild ginseng for him to keep his life alive. Firstly, Li Sinan felt embarrassed to be alone with Yang Wan, and secondly, he had something to ask Yang Tao, so he said, "Brother, I'll go with you." Yang Tao said, "Okay, I'm looking for ginseng, and you help me gather firewood." In the depths of the dense forest, Yang Tao found a ginseng as thick as a child's arm without much effort, and said with a smile: "Brother Nan, it's really thanks to you this time, this is an old ginseng. I've never gotten one that big." After digging up ginseng, he came to help Li Sinan tie up a large bundle of firewood. Li Sinan said: "Brother Yang, your master Pei Daxia is the head disciple of the Emei Sect, but why did you come to Mongolia and live on this barren mountain?" Yang Tao smiled wryly and said, "It's a long story. I, like you, are descendants of generals. My family's first ancestor is Yang Jiye, who once assisted Emperor Taizong in conquering Liao and is known as 'Yang Linggong'." Li Sinan was surprised and delighted, and said: "Brother, so you are a descendant of the generals of the Yang family!" The imperial court resisted foreign disasters. For more than two hundred years, there are many legends about them among the people.In terms of brilliant achievements and illustrious prestige, Li Sinan's family is far from being able to compare with it. Yang Tao said: "Since Hui, Qin Mengchen, and Song Dynasty went south, some of our family have disappeared in the north, and some have followed Gaozong to the south of the Yangtze River. Our ancestors did not cross the river. In my father's generation, I have been cut off from my family in the south for decades. "When I was eighteen, someone knew that we were descendants of the Yang family. Fearing that the Jin captives would harm us, my father settled my grandmother and younger sister in the countryside and took me to the south of the Yangtze River." Li Sinan was overwhelmed with envy, and said: "My father named me 'Sinan', but I have never been to Jiangnan until now, and I have no way to serve the country. I am ashamed of thinking about it!" Yang Tao's expression was gloomy, as if Li Sinan's words brought back painful memories, he said, "When I arrived in Jiangnan, I thought the same as you at first, thinking that I could always serve the country. Who knows how long it will take, my fiery heart My heart can't help but gradually cool down." Li Sinan was startled and said, "But why?" Yang Tao sighed and said, "Have you ever heard of this poem? It is a poem that has been recited in the south of the Yangtze River for a while: 'Outside the mountains, the green hills, the buildings outside the buildings, and the West Lake, when will you stop singing and dancing? "The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, indulged in pleasure, have long forgotten the great rivers and mountains that fell under the iron heels of the Jinlu, and the elders of the Central Plains who longed to see the banner of the old country. They changed Hangzhou to "Lin'an", and you only start from "Lin'an" It's not hard to imagine the two characters, the so-called 'Lin'an' is actually just thinking of 'Gou'an'!" Li Sinan said: "Could it be that there are no generals in the south of the Yangtze River who resist the enemy like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong?" Yang Tao said: "There are, but it's a pity that they can't escape the fate of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. Either they were framed by treacherous officials, or they were dismissed by the emperor and left to go idle! Brother, let me tell you a story. This story is exactly what happened to our father and son.” Yang Tao paused, then continued: "When our father and son arrived in Lin'an, Qin Hui had been dead for many years, but the current prime minister was Wei Liangchen, who was promoted by Qin Hui in his later years. This Wei Liangchen was named 'Liangchen', He is really a treacherous official. He hindered the honor of our Yang family, so he had to install my father. But my father refused to flatter him, so he got a fifth-rank "signer" post, and allocated it to Huai in a small county on the right side of Huaihe River. Yang Jiedu envoys train soldiers. There are as many as a dozen military trainers like this under a Jiedu envoy, and the trained soldiers have to be handed over every year. It's just for people to marry. "Originally, it would be good if the soldiers trained were used to fight against the enemy. My father is not a person who fights for power. But in the end, all the elite troops he trained were used to 'attack bandits', and the so-called ' "Bandits" are just ordinary people who have no means of living, are unbearable to the tyranny, and are forced to "take risks"! "After a few years like this, my father was very discouraged. So he didn't want me to serve in the army, but asked me to learn more skills. He hoped that the government would update and use it when the time came. Daxia Pei and my father had a good relationship, so he accepted me as the Emei sect The third generation of disciples. "Time flows, we have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has been more than ten years before we know it. This year, the gold master Wan Yanliang wants to 'immediately mount the first peak of Wushan', lead the army in person, and want to flatten the south of the Yangtze River. The civil and military forces of the whole dynasty are all surrendered. It is planned that Yu Yunwen is the only one who dares to lead the army to resist the war. Yu Yunwen was only a mid-level general at the time, with no more than 10,000 soldiers. And Wan Yanliang's army is called a million!" Li Sinan said: "This Yu Yunwen you are talking about is Marshal Yu who defeated the Jin soldiers in Caishiji?" Yang Tao said, "That's right. You guys in the enemy-occupied area also know about it?" Li Sinan said: "How could we not know about this earth-shattering battle? Although Jinlu tried his best to conceal the news of the defeat, the people kept telling everyone about it. The army was wiped out. But we don't know that Marshal Yu only has such a small number of soldiers. Ten thousand recruits are against millions of strong captives in Jiuli. Law?" Yang Tao said: "Rely on the common people! Although Yu Yunwen only has 10,000 recruits, when the war broke out, the militias from all sides came to help, and the rebels in Jiangbei also responded in large numbers, cutting off the road for the Jinlu to transport food. In this way, Wanyan Liang's hundred Instead, Wan Dajun fell into the siege of the people, like catching a turtle in a urn, so that none of them could escape. "My father also did his part in the battle of Caishiji. At that time, he happened to have 3,000 recruits who had already completed their training, and they were supposed to be assigned to the Huaiyang Jiedu envoy to 'raid bandits' Yes, he saw Yu Yuanshi’s appeal to the common people to resist the gold, so he sent this recruit to Caishiji.” Li Sinan said: "Isn't this disobeying the imperial court's order?" Yang Tao said: "It was the time when the war was at its most critical. It was important to defeat the Jinlu. Daddy had already put personal honor and disgrace, even life and death, aside!" Li Sinan clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, this is the heart of a great hero!" Yang Tao said: "No, my dad said: 'Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.' What he did was just what an ordinary person should do." Li Sinan nodded and said, "Not bad. If it was me, I would do the same." Then he said happily: "This battle was fought beautifully. There is a joke, maybe you don't know it yet. We people in the enemy-occupied areas call Wanyan Liang 'Wanyan Dark'." Yang Tao smiled and said, "Is there such a saying?" Li Sinan said: "It is said that when Wan Yanliang dispatched troops, he wrote a poem, which said: 'Where thousands of miles of carriages and books are all mixed up, how can there be a different frontier in the south of the Yangtze River. When you raise a million troops to the West Lake, you will immediately reach the first peak of Wushan Mountain. He thought that his million-strong army would be able to annex the south of the Yangtze River and unify the whole world. Not only was his whole army destroyed, but he himself was killed by the rebellion while he was fleeing. So the people said He has no self-knowledge and is not worthy of being called 'Liang', he can only be called 'Wanyan Dark'. "But the common people in the north are also very disappointed and very strange, why Marshal Yu didn't take advantage of the victory to recover the lost ground after defeating the Jin soldiers." Yang Tao sighed and said, "It's because the emperor of the small court in Lin'an is also a fool! The tragedy of 'Twelve Gold Medals' is repeated on Marshal Yu!" "Twelve Gold Medals" tells the story of Yue Fei.At that time, Yue Fei defeated the gold soldiers in Zhuxian Town, and was about to attack Huanglong, but was recalled by Song Gaozong with twelve gold medals. After that, he gave Qin Hui the three-character injustice of "unnecessary" and killed him. Li Sinan was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Marshal Yu was also killed by a traitor?" Yang Tao said: "Marshal Yu's 'fate' is better. This is also because Wei Liangchen did not dare to put him in an unjust prison because of the clear discussion. Decades after Qin Hui's death, he is still being reviled. Wei Liangchen can't No scruples. So he just borrowed the emperor's order to recall Yu Yunwen, and made him a Beijing official, depriving him of his military power." Li Sinan sighed for a long time, and said: "To frame Zhongliang is exactly the same in ancient and modern times. But what happened to your father?" With tears in his eyes, Yang Tao said: "My father is not as famous as Marshal Yu, and Wei Liangchen's methods of dealing with him are much more ruthless. He imposed two major crimes on my father: one is to transfer troops without authorization, and the other is to take officials privately." Food. When my father led troops to fight in Caishiji, the imperial court had no food to distribute, so he had to borrow public grain from the counties and counties he passed by. He thought that the matter should be urgently followed, and the imperial court could ratify it. Unexpectedly, Wei Liangchen not only forbade it Reimbursement, but added a crime to my father and asked him to pay compensation. "Originally, although my father dispatched troops without authorization, he can still atone for his crimes if he wins the battle. However, if he is required to pay this much official rations privately, even if it takes his life, he will not be able to pay for it. "My father couldn't stand the torture of the prison, so he finally committed suicide in prison. Before he died, he wrote a suicide note and asked a jailer to bring it out to me, telling me to go back to my hometown in the north immediately, so that I can serve my mother and take care of my children."妹；二来在金虏统治之下，一样可以为国尽力。如果能够组成一支义军，在敌人的后方打仗，比起在这里受奸臣的钳制，那还要痛快得多。另有一个原因，我爹爹没有说出来的，是他怕魏良臣抄家，连累于我。 “那狱卒是个好人，他把我爹爹的遗书和平日对他所说的言语都告诉了我，又资助盘缠与我，帮我偷渡长江。我问他的名字他都不肯说。” 李思南叹道：“仗义每多屠狗辈！秦桧、魏良臣这些奸臣可杀可恨，这个无名的狱卒却是可钦可敬了！杨大哥，你既是回乡与家人团聚，后来又怎么到了蒙古来的？” 杨滔说道：“我离家十载，家中的变化已经很大。母亲年老多病，妹妹尚未成人，仅余的一些祖业也都卖光吃尽了。还幸我回家得早，得见母亲一面。 “母亲死后，日子更是难过。这还不算什么，更糟糕的是金虏知道我从江南回来，从大都行文到我所属的那个地方，要地方官把我逮捕送京，有公门中的朋友送信给我，迫得我只好带了妹妹逃亡。江南去不成，金国境内又不能立足。因此最后只能逃到了蒙古来了。” 李思南道：“蒙古鞑子没有发现你的身份？” 杨滔道：“我们兄妹是七年前来到这里的。那时成吉思汗还没有完全统一蒙古，部落之间，各自为政，有些荒凉的地方，根本就没人管。有些部落，也欢迎汉人给他们开荒。头三年不用交租。我们兄妹就在阿儿格山山口，和许多各地来的流民开荒。” 李思南道：“哦，原来山谷人口之处，那两面山坡上的梯田，就是你们开荒的成绩。但何以现在又是野草丛生了呢？” 杨滔道：“说来气人，我们辛辛苦苦开荒，头三年是没有什么收成的，一到有了收成，那些蒙古的王公就要来霸占我们的土地了，纳租之后还不够口粮。不纳租么，就不许耕。这还不算，更要命的是，此时成吉思汗已统一蒙古。说凡在蒙古境内，不论是汉人、金人、西域各国人，都是他的子民，要服兵役。 “这么一来，谁还愿意给他耕田？有的再逃亡他方；有的就在草原上流浪，东躲西避的靠做短工度日；有的已过了服兵役龄的改行做工匠糊口；还有跑不掉的青年、壮汉给抓了去当马夫。我们兄妹避入深山打猎度日。这阿儿格山绵亘数百里，山口以前还略有人家，到了深山密林之处，那就只有与鸟兽同群了。不过，虽然寂寞，却是比耕田自在得多。” 李思南道：“此地与俘虏屯殖区相去不远，你有没有见过那些俘虏？” 杨滔道：“他们耕作之时，是有蒙古鞑子在旁监视的。我们见是见过，但不能与他们交谈。不过，他们先后几次闯营逃亡，血斗鞑子之事，我们也有耳闻。那时我们虽不知道令尊的大名，但已知道他是俘虏营中最受爱戴的老英雄了。有一个侥幸逃出来的俘虏，曾和我详谈过令尊在俘虏营中的故事。因此，在我们救了令尊之后，一说起来，就知道他是谁了。” 李思南心道：“怪不得他们如此悉心调护我的爹爹。” 杨滔接着说道：“令尊在松风谷养病期间，我去过几次和林探听消息。余一中冒充你的爹爹，做了鞑子的大官，我早已知道了。可是那一晚我却不敢明白地告诉你，为的是怕你知道之后，忍耐不住，就要报仇，那就定遭余一中的毒手了。因此，我只能故布疑阵引你到这里来。” 李思南道：“我懂得大哥的苦心，不过这个仇我以后总是要报的。” 杨滔道：“这个当然。莫说你要为父报仇，就是没有私仇，这厮为虎作伥，我们也是非杀他不可！” 李思南听了这“为虎作伥”四字，不由得又想起了孟大侠对他的误会来…… 孟少刚那日给他的“留言”，正是“为虎作伥，必取你命”这八个大字。李思南不禁心中苦笑，“余一中这奸贼害得我父子可惨，我爹爹蒙了不白之冤，连累我也几乎丧在孟大侠的剑下。” 他感到冤屈，但也感到了“苦尽甘来”的喜悦。“现在可好了，真相已经大白，我可以和孟大侠说个清楚了。只不知什么时候才可以和他再见？” 回忆像一杯苦酒，味道虽不好受，却也令他心头兴奋。孟明霞的影子替代了她父亲，忽地在他脑海之中浮现，那晚孟少刚本来要杀他的，全靠孟明霞给他说情，孟少刚才改为“留书示警”。李思南心里想道：“我与孟姑娘只是一面之交，难得她肯信我。如今真相大白，我也可以告慰她了。” 想至此处，李思南蓦地一省，恍然自悟，原来他所想要再见的人，孟大侠还在其次，最紧要的还是孟明霞！他头一次发觉自己心底的秘密，脸上不禁微微发热。 杨滔道：“南弟，你在想什么？”李思南道：“没什么。天快黑了，咱们快些走吧。” 杨滔笑道：“拐一个弯就到了，你记不得路么？” 李思南面上一红，说道：“山上的路峰回路转，确是不易记认。” 李思南钻进窑洞，放下柴草，喜孜孜地说道：“爹爹睡醒了么？爹，你瞧，杨大哥给你找来了一支又粗又大的老山参！” 杨婉已经在洞中燃起自制的油烛，烛光摇曳之中，只见杨婉眉心深锁，脸上似有泪痕。李希浩的脸色在日间本是苍白如纸的，此际在烛光映照下，却呈现着一片奇异的红光。李思南突然感到空气冷得似乎凝结，笑容也在他的脸上凝固了。 李希浩张开眼睛，咳了一声，苦笑道：“贤侄，你不必为我费神去找人参啦，我用不着了。南儿，你过来。” 李思南道：“爹，你不要胡思乱想。你的气色比刚才好多了。” 李希浩道：“我知道我这是回光反照，趁我现在还有精神，我得赶快和你说一件紧要的事情，以了我的心愿！” 李思南道：“爹，你不会死的！你、你不要这么想！” 李希浩微微一笑，神情十分安详地说道：“南儿，你不要难过。死有什么可怕？我能够见着了你才死，比我给余一中活埋而死，那已经是好得多了。我现在心里很高兴、很高兴，真的，我一点也没有遗憾了。不过，就只有一个心愿，你、你不要流泪，赶快定下神来，听我说！” 李思南道：“是。爹爹，你说吧。你有什么心愿，孩儿一定替你办到。” 李希浩摸了摸儿子的面孔，说道：“我离家的时候，你才只有三岁。晃眼过了二十年，你今年已是二十三岁了。你妈给你定了亲没有？” 李思南心头鹿撞，涨红了脸，说道：“没有。” 李希浩面露笑容，说道：“好！那我就趁着双眼未闭之前，给你办了这件事吧。你的婉妹服侍了我大半年，我是没法报答她的，你必须替我好好的报答她。你明白我的意思吗？” 李思南道：“爹爹放心，婉妹的大恩我永世不忘，我一定把她当作亲妹子看待。” 李希浩道：“唉，你这傻孩子，你还不懂爹爹的意思吗？我是要她做你的媳妇儿，不是要她做你的妹子！异姓兄妹虽也是亲，怎及得上夫妇之亲？我是要把你们的关系更进一层，这才能够报答你婉妹的情义。” 李思南低下了头，说道：“这个，这个——兄妹恐怕，恐怕——” 李希浩愠道：“什么这个那个，我已经说得十分清楚了，异姓兄妹有什么不可成亲？这是我唯一未了的心愿，我要你们在我的面前订了亲，我才能够瞑目！” 李思南道：“孩儿立誓替爹爹报仇，我是准备豁了性命去刺杀仇人的，是否能够活着回来还说不定。岂能拖累婉妹？” 杨滔道：“你这就说得不对了！你即使不是我妹夫，我们兄妹也要帮你报这个仇的！” 李希浩道：“滔侄，这是你的义侠心肠，我很感激。但在我来说，我受了你们兄妹的恩惠已经太多，如果他们不是结为夫妇，你妹妹为我舍命报仇，这恩义我就受不起了。” 杨滔道：“我看南弟似有为难之色，只怕南弟是嫌我的妹妹配他不起！” 话说到这个地步，李思南还怎能够推辞？当下只好惶然说道：“杨大哥，你这话颠倒过来说才对，是我怕配不起婉妹。” 李希浩这才笑道：“思南，你这样说就对了。说真的，我也曾有此顾虑呢！你婉妹的人品武功，我所深知。要找一个这样的巾帼须眉，只怕你打了灯笼都难再找一个了。好在我刚才问过你的婉妹，她没有嫌弃你，我才放下了心上的石头。” 杨婉满面通红，说道：“爹，你……” 李希浩哈哈大笑道：“你们都不要害羞了，如今既然是你们彼此都情愿了，趁我还有口气，你们就在我的面前交拜成亲吧！”正是： How about knowing the future?Please listen to the breakdown next time.
