Chapter 43 Three Brothers Confess Their Hearts

By the way, Li Deren cured Lu Dapeng's injuries, said goodbye to his sworn brother Wang Zhentai, and followed his master Yang Yidao. When he was about to leave Lujiazhuang, a middle-aged man blocked his way.

This middle-aged man jumped off the horse. He was about one foot tall. He was wearing dark green clothes and riding a maroon horse. He was wearing a heroic figure, with a broad forehead and square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was a recharged man.

The bridge of the nose, thick lips, a strand of beard floating under the sea on the chest, and a stick behind his back

He was holding a big gun, a horse whip with a red strip of cloth in his hand, and a horseshoe bow and gun under his crotch. He was sitting on the horse, and he cupped his hands in front of everyone and said, "In addition to paying homage to the old man, Zhao also pays homage to Master Yang. Listen.

It is said that Master Yang has a new disciple named Li Deren, I wonder if he is also here."

Li Deren found him from the crowd and said to the middle-aged man, "Li Deren, what are your orders from the strong man?"

The middle-aged man handed over to Li Deren on the horse and said, "Zhao, please pay homage to the eldest son. Please stay for a moment. The second son will be here soon. I haven't seen you in three years. The second son wants to reunite with your brother."

Li Deren said to the visitor, "May I ask what the strong man Gao's name is?"

The middle-aged man said, "Sir, I am Zhao Changjie, the second master's senior brother. I am known as the Spear General."

Li Deren raised his hand and said, "Li Deren, please pay my respects to my senior brother here."

When Mr. Lu saw this scene from outside, he said to Yang Yidao, "Master, since our disciple has hired someone to visit us, why don't we talk for a while, but what do you think?"

Yang Yidao said to Mr. Lu, "In this case, we will cause trouble to Mr. Lu."

Zhao Changjie was beaten with a spear and left, and everyone returned to the manor.

In a moment, several groups of bay-red horses quickly arrived at the gate of the manor. Lu Erjiang and Lu Sanjiang welcomed several people in. The person who came was none other than Li Wusheng.

Li Wusheng walked up to Mr. Lu and said, "Junior, Silver Spear General Li Wusheng is paying homage to senior. Please forgive me for coming here recklessly."

Wang Zhentai quickly stepped forward to introduce him, "Uncle Lu, this is our second son, Silver Spear General Li Wusheng."

When Mr. Lu saw this young man standing in front of him, he liked him from the bottom of his heart. People who practice martial arts cherish each other, but he saw:

Li Wusheng is a young man in his 20s, about one foot or two tall, with a wide forehead, high cheekbones, a large rectangular face, two sharp eyebrows that go straight into the temples, two big eyes that shine tightly, a dark face, and a high nose bridge.

, a big mouth, wide mouth, head

With an ox-heart hairpin on his arm, a suit of soapy clothes on his body, and a hero's coat behind him, he stood there like a flaming King Kong, smoky Tai Sui, full of energy, and bulging veins. He was really a majestic figure.

Heroic boy.

Mr. Lu cupped his hands and said, "You are Li Wusheng, who is known as Silver Spear in the world. Yang Liulang, who was escorted by a young boy, marched to the 30-mile company camp in Mengniu Town, Osaka, and challenged the Liao general with a gun. You are really majestic today."

Bamian, I am disrespectful and disrespectful, please take a seat quickly."

Li Wusheng said politely, "The old man is already a famous hero. He once served as a general in Taiyuan, and now he has retired and returned to his hometown with great dignity. How dare I do it in front of you, old man?"

The young man with a beard outside Old Officer Lu smiled and said, "Little heroes, heroes are not brave anymore. Now the world is dominated by your younger generation. Laojiu is really lucky. One of your brothers is a good doctor who can rejuvenate himself.

, one is a young hero in the world, I really admire him, I admire him."

Li Deren then led his second brother Li Wusheng to pay homage to his master Yang Yidao. Then the two brothers bowed their hands to everyone and said, "Please do this first. We brothers have something to discuss. Thank you all."

Under the guidance of Lu Erjiang, Wang

The three brothers Zhentai, Li Deren, and Li Wusheng arrived at the east wing. As soon as they entered the door of the east wing, Li Wusheng stepped forward and hugged his eldest brother Li Deren, "Brother, since you went out to travel as a doctor, you and I have not seen each other for three years.

I haven’t been home for a year. I don’t know how healthy my eldest brother is. You just came out from home. How are the two ladies at home?"

Li Deren let go of Li Wusheng, looked at his brother up and down, and said slowly, "Second brother, what's the matter with you chasing me here? If there's anything, why can't we go home and talk about it? It has to be like this.

It’s really inconvenient for someone to be busy at home.”

At this time, Wang Zhentai stood up with a smile and said to the two brothers, "You two young masters, this time you two get together here, it was me who did it. After the eldest young master came here to see a doctor, I found someone to deliver a message to the second young master.

, Inviting Li Wusheng here to meet the eldest son is not for other things, but for the life experience of the two of you. These things are not good at home.

It's not convenient to say, so I invited the two young masters here to tell you about your life experience and let you understand that you are not the children of ordinary families, but the blood of the royal family. It's just that

Your father is now imprisoned in Bianliang City. If you go early, you can still see him, but if you go late, you probably won't be able to see him."

The two young masters were a little confused. They looked directly at Wang Zhentai. They didn't know what their sworn second brother was going to say. At this time, the door curtain opened with a click, and from the door

Two people walked in, one was the old housekeeper Niu He, and the other was the Golden Sword General Niu Xing.

I saw the old housekeeper Niu He with tears streaming down his face. He had already burst into tears. The two young masters hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man. Li Deren said to the old man, "Grandpa, how dare you come here when you are so far away? What happened at home?"

Is something going on?"

Lao Niuhe stopped his sadness, looked at the eldest young master Li Deren to his left, and Li Wusheng to his right, and sighed softly and said, "Two young masters, do you know your own life experience? This is a long story.

, please tell me slowly. You two are both emperors of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Yu's son, I risked my life and took my two wives to escape from the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty before the city of Jinling was destroyed. I came to the west of Beijing in this barren mountain and wild land and established Niuquan Village. Now I will

I will tell you the cause and effect, and please listen slowly."

The poem says:

The Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty was truly romantic, and her beautiful words will be remembered forever.

The great country and mountains are gone with the wind, I worship the righteous servant and support the orphan.

There is a beautiful small mountain village 50 miles west of Beijing called Niuquan. In Niuquan Village, all the villagers are surnamed Li. It is said that they are descendants of the Southern Tang Dynasty. There are also such legends???

It is said that more than 1,000 years ago, the Southern Tang Dynasty was one of the ten kingdoms in the Five Dynasties and the largest country among the ten kingdoms. At its most powerful, it had 36 states. It had a vast territory and a developed economy. Its capital was Jinling, which was renamed Jiangning.

.During the turbulent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Southern Tang Dynasty occupied the most economically developed area in the south of the Yangtze River and actually became the economic and cultural center of the time.

The Southern Tang Dynasty attached great importance to the restoration and development of agriculture. It mainly planted rice, supplemented by diversified operations such as mulberry, tea and fruits. It was a famous rice hometown, and rice was widely grown in Yangzhou, Taizhou, Chuzhou and Sizhou.

, the yield is high, and the varieties have been improved. In the Jiangnan area, wheat in the north has been widely planted. Mulberry trees are planted all over the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. Mulberry trees are planted everywhere, making the country rich and strong.

In order to protect himself, the central leader Li Jing professed his vassalship to Zhou Chai Rong, devoting himself to the north of the Yangtze River and settling in a corner south of the Yangtze River. The later leader Li Yu ascended the throne, restored the capital to Jinling, surrendered to the Song Dynasty in the open, and secretly stepped up preparations for war. He was the sixth prince of the late emperor, so

The prince died early, and he became the emperor. He was suave, capable of doing anything in poetry, poetry, and song, and was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He was the leader of Jiangnan.

The greatest talent, he has profound attainments in calligraphy, painting, music and poetry, especially his poetry. Li Yu's poetry inherits the tradition of the Huajian School, with vivid images, sincere emotions and distinctive style.

.In the history of Chinese literature, especially among the Five Dynasties Ci, it is unique and has influenced

It has far-reaching influence. A good man may not necessarily be a good emperor, and a literary prodigy may not necessarily be a good leader. Li Yu was not a good emperor, and could be said to be a faint emperor. He was lackluster in terms of governance. He was even worse in the military. The great success of the Southern Tang Dynasty

Rivers and mountains were ruined in the hands of their father and son.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, wiped out the north and looked around China. The Southern Tang Dynasty became a thorn in his side. Although Li Yu, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, surrendered, he occupied the beautiful and rich land of fish and rice. Zhao Kuangyin could not eat well and could not sleep. So he found his military adviser and made a decision.

big

He planned to send General Cao Bin with 100,000 troops to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. In October of the 7th year of Kaibao of Song Dynasty, the army successfully crossed the Yangtze River. After three battles at Caishi, Qinhuai River and Wankou, the Southern Tang Dynasty suffered repeated defeats. In the 8th year of Kaibao of Song Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated.

, the city of Jinling was destroyed, Li Yu surrendered, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

Just the night before the city of Jinling was destroyed, Li Yu found the eunuch Niu He and found two palace maids who had just become pregnant and had no status. Li Yu introduced Niu He to the two palace maids. Niu He also introduced the two palace maids. The eunuch

Niu He knew two palace maids, one was Liu Wanjun who was beside the queen, and the other was beside the emperor.

Wang Chunhua. Niu He is the personal eunuch next to the emperor under the great eunuch. Li Yu pointed to the two palace maids and said: "These two palace maids are pregnant with dragon descendants. Although they have no status, they are my concubines. You must have a good life."

Take care of them and take them out of the palace at night to preserve my descendants and leave roots for the Li family!"

Niu He quickly knelt down and kowtowed like a chicken pounding rice, and said: "Thanks to the trust of Lord Long Live, I will fight to the death, and I will definitely protect the empress and the two young highnesses to repay the emperor for his kindness to me over the years."

After that, he kowtowed three more times.

Li Yu was already worried and said anxiously: "Don't be too polite, Mr. Niu. Now I will designate Mrs. Liu as a concubine of virtue and Mrs. Wang as a concubine of Shu. I will also give each of you a pair of poetry handkerchiefs. One day, they will serve as the identities of your children."

Witness. Now the two of you should follow Mr. Niu, and the three of you should run away for your lives."

Niu He got up and hurried out of the palace with his two concubines. First they went south to Yangzhou, then north from Yangzhou around Jinling and crossed the Yangtze River to the north. The three of them changed into casual clothes and accompanied their father and daughter.

Stayed overnight and overcame numerous difficulties

It was dangerous to go all the way north. Women in the past had small feet and walked thousands of miles on three-inch golden lotus. It was really difficult for them. What's more, the two palace maids were pregnant with Liujia, and it was not convenient to move. The more they walked, the bigger their bellies became.

, the more difficult it is.

Niu He was a northerner who was used to walking on dry roads. But he was taking two women with small feet, and they were pregnant. He could neither walk fast nor walk slowly. If he walked fast, he was afraid of arousing people's suspicion. If he walked slowly, he was afraid of being chased by soldiers.

It was really a dilemma to catch up. Why didn't they avoid the Song army? Instead, they went north to meet the Song army? There are three reasons for Niu He. First, Niu He is a northerner and is familiar with the geographical environment of the north. This is beneficial to Niu He.

Long-term lurking. Second, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Completely. The Song army thought that the family members of the Southern Tang Dynasty would all go south, and would not expect anyone to escape north. This was the opposite, and it was also the safest and most reliable, especially since their destination was not to stay in the Song Dynasty.

, but to wait until the Song Dynasty

Daliao in the north. Because Niu He’s hometown is in Youzhou, Nanjing, Daliao. Third, the south is raging with wars and wars for years. Daliao in the north has settled down and is suitable for living! And the Song Dynasty is beyond the reach of the Song Dynasty, and they can’t enter Daliao to capture

people.

Thinking of walking all the way, Niu He and the other three people did not dare to stop for a moment. To put it simply, they crossed the Yellow River, took a circuitous route back to Shandong, entered Hebei, passed through Baoding Prefecture, passed through Zhuozhou and reached Liangxiang, where they settled at the foot of Ma'an Mountain.

Exactly: To protect the prince, he went out of the city to cook, and traveled thousands of miles relying on cattle and peace.
