Liang Cuirong picked up the fan, wiped it with her sleeve and pretended to wipe away the footprints, but she wiped the painting even more messy, and exclaimed: "Oh, it's dirty because of stepping on it. Fortunately, Miss Huang can draw. You go in later and ask her to draw another one, keep it well, and don't need this one." After she finished speaking, she smiled, tilted her head and winked at Fang Jinshi.
Fang Jinshi sighed in his heart and stepped forward: "Miss Huang has painted for many people, she didn't just give one to me." Liang Cuirong said: "Really, do you think I am jealous?"
Fang Jinshi was stunned, and Liang Cuirong continued: "She drew this for you to scold us." Fang Jinshi suddenly said: "Yes, she called me a frog, always croaking, which sounds annoying." Liang Cuirong laughed and said: "Not only that, in the area from Bianliang and Luoyang to Tongguan, the villagers in the countryside laughed at the women who took care of men and called them green-skinned and white-bellied women, which means frogs. She was using the topic to scold me. On."
Fang Jinshi repeated the recitation: "Green skin, white belly It's really interesting. There is a word "green" in your name. This woman she is so good at swearing." He was thinking of green skin, but white belly, this This is too much. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh and bent over.
Liang Cuirong said angrily: "You are still laughing, you are holding this fan as a treasure, let's see how I deal with her in the future." Fang Jinshi smiled enough and said: "She just wants to see you angry, and she will It¡¯s comfortable, so it¡¯s better to pretend not to understand and ignore her, because she won¡¯t be proud of herself if she¡¯s not interested.¡±
Liang Cuirong snorted and said angrily: "How can I care about you? Hey, I will be a mute from now on, so that others will not look down on you." Fang Jinshi walked over and took her arm and said: "Let's go, why don't you care about me?" That's it, I still like you to take care of me." Liang Cuirong broke away from his hand and said with a smile: "It's worthless."
Liang Cuirong stuffed the fan into the pocket on the saddle. The two of them were talking and laughing without taking it seriously. They came to the dyeing workshop together. This dyeing workshop is the property of King Xiu. The space behind it is huge, and someone has offered it. Huang Jinmian ordered to serve tea to these followers. Liang Cuirong felt a little angry when she saw Huang Jinmian. She stepped forward and smiled and said: "Miss Huang, I just saw you give my husband a fan painting. I will give it to you anytime." I have one."
Huang Jinmian smiled slightly and said, "Okay, when I am free, I will give Madam a four-foot-long scroll." Liang Cuirong was about to say something more, when Fang Jinshi took over and said, "Miss Huang is very busy on weekdays, so if you have time, I¡¯ve painted for you, Miss Huang, how long do we have to wait?¡±
"It's getting late today," Huang Jinmian said. "Let's all stay here and wait one night. If we haven't arrived yet, how about we stop waiting?"
Fang Jinshi nodded in agreement. It was getting late now, and the Liao Kingdom was in chaos. It was probably a little unsafe. The shopkeepers of the dyeing shop went to arrange for these followers to eat and find a place to rest. Fang Jinshi and Liang Cuirong were brought Rested for one night in a nice inn.
Early the next morning, the people from Yeluchuan hadn't arrived yet. Huang Jinmian looked like he had lost hope, so he said to the other party, "No wait, let's go see that golden snake and see what you can do."
Fang Jinshi and Liang Cuirong, Huang Jinmian, led more than 30 people to Huangfeng Mountain. Huangfeng Mountain is located in the south of Yunnei Prefecture and is under the jurisdiction of Ningren County. Ningren County is a first-class large county, and the local jurisdiction is Kanda. , in addition to the county seat, there are four military villages. The guard here is Liu Chengchuan's second son and Liang Cuirong's second brother Liu Xingbao. Roufu County is a small county with a small area and a small population. The guard here is Han Qishang, the Liao general. He is the cousin of the governor of Yunnei Prefecture, and he is actually related to Liu Chengchuan.
Huangfeng Mountain straddles Taiyuan Prefecture on Hedong Road in the Song Dynasty and Yunnei Prefecture in the Liao State. It is the dividing line between the two countries. The main mountains are under the jurisdiction of the Liao State. It is very close to the Yellow River. The huge river rushes down from the mountain, which is very spectacular. , the Junhe River is a tributary of the Yellow River. It flows into the Yellow River in the south of Ningren County. It is the summer rainy season and the river water surges. When the Song and Liao Dynasties were harmonious, they also cooperated many times to control floods in the Yellow River Dredge. Now the two countries When a war breaks out, no one can care about the other, and the people of both countries are worried for fear that the two rivers will burst their banks.
More than 30 people from Fang Jinshi came to Ningren County. Liu Xingbao went out to check the defenses of various military villages, so Fang Jinshi didn't see his second wife. They passed directly through the city. More than 40 miles to the northeast is Zhang Zong'e. On the bank of the Jun River where Shi Bin's army was stalemate, more than a hundred miles to the southeast was Huangfeng Mountain. Ningren County was already on the verge of war. It was a semi-steppe landform, and most of the people lived in Weizili and Yishan. In the village, Fang Jinshi and his party were accompanied by the Liao Kingdom. They came directly to Huangfeng Mountain without asking.
After riding horseback for half an hour from Ningren County, the weather was still a bit hot. Fang Jinshi asked a few people to take a rest among the trees in front, eat some dry food and drink some water before leaving. Not long after they stopped, a follower in charge of the watch cried: "Yes?? is coming. "
Fang Jinshi hurriedly walked outside the forest and saw hundreds of horses riding on the road. From a distance, they seemed to be dressed as Liao soldiers. When they came closer, the first horse was a tall Liao general. He shouted: "Is Miss Huang here?" Fang Jinshi took a closer look and saw that it was Xiao Kuohai.
He was wearing the uniform of a Liao general, holding a long sword in his hand, and was chasing after more than a dozen Liao soldiers on horseback. Huang Jinmian flashed out from behind the crowd and said crisply: "Xiao Kuohai, I'm here." ." She called him by his first name without any other title.
Xiao Kuohai ran closer, jumped off his horse and came over and said, "I finally caught up with you. Miss Huang, how are you?" He was now tanner than before, and his expression was much more determined than before. The armor on his body had several places where it had been cut by knives, and his left thumb was wrapped in white cloth. He was probably injured. A quick glance showed that he had fought against the Jin army recently.
Huang Jinmian looked at him and said, "I'm fine, how are you?" Xiao Kuohai said, "I won't die until I kill all the golden dogs. I followed the order of General Yeluchuan and came to see him. Miss Huang." Huang Jinmian said: "Where is General Yeluchuan? I want to see him."
Xiao Kuohai shook his head and sighed: "He was injured by an arrow. His condition is very bad. He is currently recuperating in the camp twenty miles to the west." Fang Jinshi interrupted: "I don't know what his condition is now. What's the situation there, can you help Brother Zhang?"
Xiao Kuohai turned around and bowed his hand to him and said: "I would like to thank Brother Fang for reminding me last time. I came back and followed General Yeluchuan to rescue Xijing under the orders of Dashilinya. Unfortunately, the golden dog was too powerful and Xijing Mansion fell. , our army was defeated. We had just regrouped our troops and crossed the Yellow River and arrived here the day before yesterday. Hey, to be honest, brothers, now General Yeluchuan only has more than 700 defeated troops. Shi Bin is a treacherous villain, and Liu Chengchuan is colluding with him again. , when General Yeluchuan was seriously injured, he also ordered me to find Miss Huang to discuss countermeasures, and to risk my life to send Leader Zhang and the brothers back to Huimeng Mountain safely."
Fang Jinshi noticed that when he heard him scolding Liu Chengchuan, Liang Cuirong's face was a little unhappy. He was actually a little uncomfortable. Huang Jinmian said: "More than a thousand people have come to Huimeng Mountain. Listen to this leader Fang's orders. You can Let¡¯s discuss this matter carefully.¡±
Xiao Kuohai was a little surprised. He turned back to Fang Jinshi and said, "It turns out that Brother Fang has brought people here. Now, if you have anything you want us to do, just ask. We Khitan people will try our best to do it, but we won't give in." My friend can't go home." His words were sincere, obviously sincere.
Fang Jinshi said hurriedly: "I don't dare. Let's discuss a plan together. Brother Xiao, why don't you enter Ningren County but stay outside the city?" Xiao Kuohai said loudly: "I hate Liu Chengchuan and his son for being so shameless and domineering. , this Yunnei Prefecture is our Khitan prefecture and county, and it is our territory of Daliao. Liu Xingbao actually did not allow us to enter the city, and asked us to go to Roufu County. If we went there, Shi Bin, the dog thief, would be against Huimeng Mountain. Brother, if we want to help, we can't help. Even if the whole army is wiped out, we can't just sit back and watch our friends suffer." He said these words loud and clear, which was very different from the previous appearance where he only knew how to be angry and cowardly. , as if after fighting with the Jurchens, his bones became much stronger.
Fang Jinshi was infected by him and did not feel that the curse made him uncomfortable. He said to Xiao Kuohai: "We are going to Huangfeng Mountain ahead to find some helpers. If things can be done, I have a good way to help the brothers on Huimeng Mountain. I'll have to rely on you when we leave the bank of the Buchu River." Xiao Kuohai patted his chest and said, "Of course it's obligatory. I heard that thousands of bandits suddenly fled from the Song Dynasty on Huangfeng Mountain, and you guys Go find those people?¡±
Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "We know those people." Xiao Kuohai said, "It's still a hundred miles to Huangfeng Mountain. I'm afraid it's a bit uneven on the road, so I'll give you a ride." Fang Jinshi said happily, "Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao. ." Xiao Kuohai walked to the horse, got on it and said, "Then let's go."
He led more than a hundred people to open a road, all the way to Huangfeng Mountain, walking through the woods and shoals for half a day, and finally gradually entered the shallow hills and hills.
Xiao Kuohai pulled the horse back and pointed to the distant mountains and said: "That's Huangfeng Mountain. I heard that those bandits have occupied the northern mountain. Everyone, please be careful." When everyone heard what he said, they all became more vigilant. Xiao Kuohai Kuo Hai slowed down his horse and walked slowly.
The hundred or so people had just turned a sharp corner in the mountain, when they saw three horses coming towards them. The turn here was too sharp, and when they saw each other, they were less than a hundred steps away. The riders on these three horses suddenly Seeing a large group of people, they turned their horses around and ran towards the road they came from.
Fang Jinshi saw that these three people were dressed as ordinary people and was surprised. Xiao Kuohai said angrily: "Where are the dog thieves?" He raised his sword and chased the horse. The Liao army behind him followed the horse and moved forward. The three people in front Two of the riders took their bows and arrows from their horses while fleeing, and turned around to shoot. Immediately, a Liao soldier was hit by an arrow.Horses, some of the Liao soldiers immediately took arrows and shot back.
The distance between the two sides was too close. Within a moment, Xiao Kuohai rushed behind the last man. He slashed the man off his horse with a swing of his sword. All the Liao troops caught up and surrounded him, and slashed the remaining two people to death with swords.
Fang Jinshi rushed over and looked at the three corpses on the ground and said, "Who are these?" Xiao Kuohai said, "They are the detective horses of the Golden Dog." Fang Jinshi was surprised and said, "How did the detective horses of the Jin Bing get here? .¡±
Xiao Kuohai looked a little solemn and said: "I'm afraid some golden soldiers have already crossed the Yellow River."
