Chapter 20 On the Guard

How could Xue Liangchen not hear the other party’s implied meaning? He hurriedly bowed and said, “Mr. I am the great benefactor of our Xue family. Although we are not as good as the noble servants, we can also drive strong bows and ride bad horses. If you don’t think we are vulgar, the villain should run under the door, but I don’t know how many people are needed by my husband this time?”

"Then thank you Liangchen?" Han Xiaozhou saw that Xue Liangchen was so aware of his situation, and his name changed immediately: "We are envoys of the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom also sent elite troops to escort them, just to be sure, there are two of them!"

"Two?" Xue Liangchen stood up, lowered his head and thought for a moment, thinking to himself: "This is a good opportunity. Why not let the fourth brother and Aping go. Although the fourth brother is only seventeen years old, he can shoot left and right, stabbing guns and swords, and he can count them in the county. Aping is my husband's party. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as the fourth brother, he is capable, thoughtful, and able to write. He can take care of the two of them." Thinking of this, Xue Liangchen turned around and waved to Zhou Ping and Xue Liangyu, and turned to Han Xiaozhou and said, "This is my husband's fourth brother and Zhou Ping, so let these two go with his husband!"

"These two?" Han Xiaozhou looked at Xue Liangyu and Zhou Ping. He had no objection to Zhou Ping. After all, in the document of the victory, Zhou Ping shot the thief's head. However, although Xue Liangyu was agile, her face had not yet opened, and she looked like a half-aged child. Han Xiaozhou couldn't help but feel displeased when he saw it, and thought to himself: "I want you to protect my safety with two skilled martial arts guards, but you sent a half-aged child here. Do you think this is a good opportunity to get along with a relationship? Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Good minister! You don't know that in the past few years, the domestic political disarray of Liao, and after the rise of Jin soldiers, many elite soldiers were transferred to the north. Thieves in the country were quite rampant. Your fourth brother is still young, so why not change to older ones!"

Before Xue Liangchen could explain, Xue Liangyu, who was standing aside, became annoyed when he heard this. He was the youngest son in the family, and when Xue Zhangren got him, he was almost fifty years old, so he was naturally a little doting. In addition, he was the best among his peers since he was a child, so he regarded himself very high. However, he didn't expect that Zhou Ping was overwhelmed by a Tian Ke in the matter of pacifying thieves. This was fine. Unexpectedly, when he heard Mr. Han's words, he felt that he was not as good as Zhou Ping. Thinking of this, he didn't care about etiquette and stepped forward and shouted: "Mr. Han doesn't believe in the martial arts of a certain family, and it's not a villain who boasted that his husband could send someone to compare with me at will. If I lose a move and half a move, I should give it to the virtuous!"

"This—" Han Xiaozhou was stunned and then smiled, "Okay, this dynasty's martial arts is best for bows, but I don't know how many bows you can drive?" Seeing that Xue Liangyu was young, he felt that at most he could only draw a bow of six or seven. After all, the lower-level archers of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards at that time were only able to drive a bow of seven or seven.

"I usually use a bow that can be killed by two buckets, two bows, two pots of arrows, and one horse, and even one or two dozen people can't get close to you!" Xue Liangyu replied loudly.

Han Xiaozhou was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Seriously?" No wonder he was so surprised. In ancient times, the most important martial arts among Chinese cavalry generals was riding and shooting. Normal people generally held a bow in their left hand and held a string in their right hand, so they could only shoot the enemy 180 degrees on their left side when they were on their horses. A few warriors who were particularly good at riding and shooting were able to shoot left and right and attack the enemy without dead corners. Warriors like this are rare and rare, so they often mention them in history books, such as "The Three Kingdoms. Biography of Dong Zhuo" records Dong Zhuo: "At the end of Emperor Huan of Han Dynasty, he was a good son of a six-county county. Zhuo was talented and martial, with few brigades, two horns, and shot left and right, and became a military Sima."

Xue Liangchen, who was standing beside him, was afraid that Xue Liangyu would touch Han Xiaozhou and quickly replied: "That's right, although my fourth brother is young, his skills in riding and shooting are better than our brothers, so I asked him to follow his husband!"

Han Xiaozhou nodded: "It turns out that he is a young man from a hero. I underestimate you. Since that's the case, that's the two of you. Good minister, let's come here tonight. You two will clean up after you go back. When I return to Bianjing, let's go with me!"

"Yes, Mr. Han!"

After the banquet, Xue Liangchen arranged for Xue Liangyu and Zhou Ping to go home overnight to pack their luggage and prepare to go to Bianjing with Han Xiaozhou. The two had just arrived home. The leaders of the neighboring villages heard that the Xue family had a relationship with the Han family in Anyang through this matter. They were all envious and came to congratulate them with wine and meat gifts. Xue Liangyu was even more energetic and looked proud, but Zhou Ping looked dull, and she looked like she had not recovered from the sudden joy.

"Brother Zhou, it's not easy to be a member of Mr. Han this time! I'll be rising to the sky in the future. Please don't forget me, please support me!"

"Brother, I'm laughing!" Zhou Ping could not remember how many people came over tonight to talk to him. In order to pretend to smile, the muscles of his cheeks were twitching. But even so, the man in front of him who looked more than thirty and was not enough forty was screaming at him, which made him feel a little nauseous. At this time, Zhou Ping couldn't help but think: "Who said that ancient people were simple and heavy? Didn't they pounce on him and hug him tightly when they saw a little chance?"

"But do I really want to follow Han Xiaozhou to Liao Kingdom?"

Zhou Ping's wry smile disappeared. Although after Zen Master Zhishan's persuasion, he had gradually given up the idea of ​​saving enough money and running away, following Han Xiaozhou to the Liao Kingdom was another matter. He knew very well that the current situation in Liao Kingdom must be very dangerous, and the reason was very simple. The destination of the envoy of the Song Kingdom this time was Youzhou. Although the Jin army's troops were not as good as the Han territory of Liao Kingdom, they had won consecutive victories in Liaodong over the years. In order to escape the war, a large number of defeated Liao people would definitely flee to the relatively stable states of Shannan. With the administrative ability of the Liao Kingdom at that time, they would definitely not be able to arrange the lives of these refugees in a short time.

Live, these powerful and illegal refugees will inevitably engage in good deeds to do evil in order to live. This kind of example is very common in history. Secondly, if I remember correctly, the Northern Song Dynasty had obtained information about the Liao and Jin war from the fugitives of the Liao Kingdom very early in history, and had a plan to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom with the Jin Alliance and recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. In this context, the missions sent must be responsible for the secret mission of making correct decisions for the center, and perhaps there will be further tasks. As an outsider, he was mixed into this matter, and if he was not careful, he would end up being broken.

"Will you go or not?" At this time, a figure of integrity suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Ping's eyes. His majestic face suddenly smiled and nodded slightly to Zhou Ping, as if encouraging him.

"If he was in my position, even if he knew that there was a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of him, he would not give up!" Zhou Ping's face showed a glimmer: "It's a pity that I'm not him."

At this time, there was only a bang, and the door was suddenly knocked open. Zhou Ping raised his head in surprise and saw Xue Liangyu staggering in, her face flushed and her mouth was full of alcohol. Zhou Ping hurried forward to support him and asked, "Little Langjun, why have you drunk so much wine-"

"Let me go, I'm not drunk!" Xue Liangyu broke away from Zhou Ping, waved his arm violently, and shouted: "Second brother said that I should listen to you more this time, as if I wanted you to be our master. Aping, tell me why my second brother values ​​you so much, are you his brother or am I his brother?"

"Of course, the little man is the inspector's brother!" Xue Liangyu looked at the other party's drunken face and couldn't help but feel bored. At this time, he was annoyed about how to find excuses to shirk, but this half-aged child came out to disturb him.

"Then why did he ask me to listen to you more than to let you listen to me?" Xue Liangyu stepped forward and asked loudly.

Zhou Ping tried his best to resist and replied: "The inspection is cautious in handling matters. This is to let you and me discuss more with each other. The one who made the idea in the end is naturally the young man!"

"No, no!" Xue Liangyu waved his arm violently. He was already drunk and couldn't stand steadily. He sat on Zhou Ping's bed and shouted loudly: "Don't think I can't see it. A Ping, you didn't take this matter seriously. Don't talk about this matter. In fact, you don't think of anyone in your heart. Even that Mr. Han may not be in your eyes! Not to mention your second brother, I'm afraid he won't go this time!"

Hearing Xue Liangyu's words, Zhou Ping was shocked. He never expected that Xue Silang, who was reckless in his daily life, would unintentionally reveal his old background to the sky. As a time traveler, Zhou Ping instinctively held an inexplicable sense of superiority to all ancient people, and always felt that he had more knowledge than them. The current situation was only temporary. Even the old emperor in Bianjing City, in Zhou Ping's eyes, he was just a prisoner who sat in the well and watched the sky in the Five Kingdoms City more than ten years later.

I didn't expect that although I tried my best to cover it up, I still expressed my words and deeds in my daily life. If someone is interested, I will naturally find out, and maybe it will cause a murder. Thinking of this, Xue Liangyu's back was already covered in cold sweat, and he hurriedly said, "Young man, you are joking. Mr. Han is a Jinshi. How dare I look down on him like a grass? I just heard this news all at once. I was so happy that I was so happy that I would forgive you for being rude. I just said something about you and I privately, and I must not-"

Zhou Ping suddenly stopped when he said this. Xue Liangyu was already lying on his bed with his back facing away and snoring loudly. It turned out that he had already fallen asleep. It seemed that he had said those words just now. If he was awake, he might not be able to say them. Zhou Ping walked to the bed and looked at Xue Liangyu's face as if he was a child in his sleep. He couldn't help but sigh. Zhou Ping put his right leg on the edge of the bed and put the quilt on him, then turned around and walked out the door, sat down on the steps, and looked at the washing of the moonlight in the yard, and couldn't help but sigh.
