Chapter 250 Who will kill the deer (thirteen)
Chapter 250 Who will win the deer? (Thirteen)
After ten years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial capital Daliang City was already prosperous. The Uighurs, Goryeo, Tubo people, and even the Great Cannibals in the city have also come to Daliang City one after another, with Hu language and Hu clothing all over the streets. After decades of silence in Daliang City, it also has a bit of the grand Tang Dynasty.
The strange woman held her eyes and turned around. When she heard the person inside did not call her a lunatic, she asked herself kindly, and the look of hope appeared on the woman's face.
This small shop was opened in a tram, and all kinds of people from all walks of life wanted to sell some items to make the women happy. The shopkeeper was therefore very knowledgeable. When he heard the woman talking like this, he had guessed that she might be a foreigner in the north. However, with Du Gang, the deputy leader of the Feiying Hall, beside him, it was not his turn to ask about this woman.
Du Gang looked at the two people in front of him. Although the woman was wearing Central Plains clothing and her braids were also in Central Plains hair style, her every move and speech were obviously different from that of the Central Plains women.
Du Gang and Chen Meng were Hou Dayong's two earliest personal guards. At that time, Hou Dayong was just a low-middle-level officer. He mingled in the military camp every day and talked about his experiences in the north in his spare time, especially the story of Sumo Mohe. When Du Gang saw this woman looking for Hou Dayong, a thought flashed out in his mind: Could this woman be from Sumo Mohe?
With this idea, Du Gang looked at the stubborn child carefully. The child was actually seventy-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth-sixth
Du Gang suddenly remembered that Meng Shu had visited the Sumo Mohe tribe and met a woman named Ajige, and Hou Hu, the son of Hou Dayong who was left in Baitou Mountain. He slowly said to the woman standing at the door: "You are from Sumo Mohe."
The woman outside the door suddenly grabbed a straw like a drowning person, her face showed joy, and she was a little suspicious. She asked, "How do you know?"
Du Gang smiled and said, "I also know that your name is Ajige."
The woman outside the door slowly opened her eyes wider and wider, and then she spoke to the child in words that Du Gang couldn't understand, while wiping her eyes constantly.
The woman outside the door was Ajige of the Sumomili tribe. In early May this year, the small tribe of the Sumomili tribe was raided by the Khitan army and suffered heavy losses. Suddenly, Qu Youngu and others led a minority tribe to escape to the mountains, while Ajige, Hou Hu and some old and young were captured by the Khitans.
At this time, the war in Youzhou had already begun, and the Khitans urgently needed a large number of slaves to transport the baggage. Therefore, these prisoners, regardless of women, children, and young, were all taken to transport baggage for the Khitan army. Ajige, with the tiger-headed Houhu, was also forced to embark on the road to the south.
The Sumo Mohe tribe is a small tribe. Under the rule of the Khitan tribe, people in life need to exchange salt, iron and other items. Therefore, in the Sumo Mohe tribe, many people understand the Central Plains and Khitan tribe. Although Hou Hu is only seven years old, others are bold and have a very good brain. Both the Khitan dialect and the Central Plains are very smooth. This time, the captured Sumo Mohe people are all women, children, young and old. The Khitan dialect is spoken most neatly, and Hou Hu acts as a general translator for the Khitans and Sumo Mohe.
The Khitan soldiers were all composed of herdsmen, both fierce and simple. They all thought that Wanyan Hu could be a general translator at a young age, which was really amazing and very clever. He took great care of him. In this way, Ajige was also treated preferentially. Not only did he not have to work, but he was often given some meat.
After the group arrived in Yanshan, they stopped. It is said that the Great Zhou army had occupied Gubeikou, and the Khitan army attacking Gubeikou suffered heavy casualties. The bodies transported from the mountain were almost piled up into a small mountain. Dagubeikou failed to defeat it for a long time. The Khitan soldiers became more and more angry and were slightly unsatisfied. They beat the captured Han people, Sumo and some other small tribesmen. The wounded soldiers who came down from the battlefield on the mountain were even more like the evil gods who escaped from hell. There were slaves of Han people in the team, most of whom were beaten to death by these evil gods.
Hou Hu was mixed with Khitan soldiers for a long time, and the Khitan soldiers in the defeated area became even more upset. Seeing that Hou Hu had some scars on his face and his body, Ajige was so heartbroken that he shed tears several times at night. When Ajige's tears woke Hou Hu up, Hou Hu suddenly said: "Mom, the Khitans are already crazy. We can only survive if we run away."
Ajige looked at Hou Hu blankly, put his finger in his mouth and bit him, and found that he was not dreaming. She said in her heart: "Although Ahu has been smart since childhood, he is only seven years old after all. Why is the expression he just spoke just now exactly the same as Ah Da?"
Hou Hu's face showed a maturity that was not as good as his age and said, "Mom, you said Ada was a high-ranking official in the south. After crossing this mountain, it was the Central Plains. Why not just climb the mountain and look for Ada."
Azig knew that his son's choice was the most correct way.
Walking south from Baitou Mountain, you have to pass countless Khitan villages and towns along the way. If you go north to Baitou Mountain, you will most likely be met by Khitan soldiers. If you are met by a regular Khitan army, it is better if you are met by Ding Wujing Township, the result will be unknown. Ajige remembered that Ding Wujing Township was cold and was cold. He went south from Baitou Mountain and saw the local town torture prisoners many times on the road. His methods were so cruel that Ajige, who was used to seeing dead bodies, could not help but want to vomit.
For several years, Ajige missed Hou Dayong who was far away in the sky. At this time, Hou Hu was serious and looked like his Ajige. Ajige held Hou Hu, and tears had already flowed down Hou Hu's face.
Hou Hu stretched out his little hand and patiently wiped away his mother's tears.
Ajige was a decisive person, so she immediately started to implement the decision. Two days later, Ajige and Hou Hu disappeared into the vast mountains with food and a bag of clear water. Before leaving, Hou Hu stole a long bow, a pot of iron arrows and a Khitan waist knife, which was regarded as the main equipment of a Khitan warrior.
Ten days later, the mother and son finally crossed Yanshan Mountain and came to the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will not explain the difficulties along the way here.
Ajige has always lived in the Sumo and Mohe tribe, but she is very unfamiliar with the flower world of the Central Plains. She doesn't know how old Hou Dayong is. She just heard Meng Shu say before that he was a messenger in Zhengzhou, so she asked Hou Dayong's name all the way.
The story of Hou Dayong leading the Northern Expedition Army to seize Youzhou City was unknown. The story and the song were circulated in the teahouse and wine house. With the story and song, Hou Dayong's reputation had already spread throughout the Central Plains. Therefore, when Ajige seriously asked where Hou Dayong lived, he was immediately rolled his eyes, and some even scolded "crazy" and other vicious words.
Later, Ajige also heard a widely circulated story, and then he realized that Hou Dayong was already the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was him who led the Great Zhou soldiers to seize the Khitan Youzhou and killed countless Khitan soldiers. When he heard this, Ajige was extremely excited, while Hou Hu was extremely proud, and the two of them came straight to Daliang City.
In Daliang City, after being rolled countless times, Ajige, who was undisdainful, finally asked Du Gang by chance.
Du Gang was monitoring the three people who were entering the tramway at this time. He whispered to the shopkeeper: "You send the most reliable people to send these two people to my residence."
Ajig's ears were already heard, and his face changed, and he said, "Why don't you take me to Hou Dayong's house?"
Du Gang saw Ajige's dusty body and said, "Don't worry, my name is Du Gang, and I am the guard of the Hou Prime Minister. I asked the maids at home to burn some hot water, wait for the young lady to take a bath, then change into new clothes, and then meet Hou Xiang beautifully. Wouldn't that be better?"
Ajige is a beautiful woman. After hearing Du Gang's words, he looked down at his outfit. He saw that a piece of clothing from a woman in the Central Plains stolen by Hou Hu was so dirty that it was too dirty. Ajige felt that Du Gang was saying it well, so he nodded and said, "It's good."
Ajige and Hou Hu followed the shopkeeper to Du Gang's house, while Du Gang was still staying in the small shop to monitor.
From lunch at noon until the sunset, the three of them never showed up.
When the sunset finally fell on the city wall, the entire Daliang City disappeared into the darkness. The wealthy families hung lanterns at the gate and showed the mighty gate. The small shop naturally did not need to hang lanterns, nor did they light oil lamps in the house. Du Gang sat in the dark and observed the brothel illuminated by four lanterns. The shopkeeper prepared some braised goods for Du Gang. Du Gang was gnawing the delicious braised goods and talking to the shopkeeper in a word. Finally, the three of them sneaked into the brothel and walked out in a swaying manner. They were in the brothel for half a day, and they were not wary of having several pairs of eyes waiting for them.
The three of them walked out of the brothel with comfort. Seeing that it was getting late and there were few pedestrians on the streets, they accelerated their pace and turned around. Soon they arrived at the Nancheng District of many dignitaries living in. The three of them came to a large mansion across the two streets of the Hou Mansion. Without reporting, they walked in through the side door.
This big house is also very famous in Daliang City. The owner is the prince's Taibao and the Minister of Works Tian Min.
After finding the main master, Du Gang left six capable subordinates to guard the door of Tian Mansion. In the past two years, at the request of Hou Dayong, Feiying Hall has completely entered a state of lurking, and its main job is to keep people in sight. As the saying goes, "Eyetang is good at work and diligent, Feiying Hall has dozens of experts in Daliang City, doing nothing every day and professionally targeting people. It unexpectedly makes the people in Feiying Hall in Daliang City a master of sighting.
