Unofficial History of Song and Liao Heroes

Although Ran Nanyuan looked at Yelu Dashi's clothes as if he was a Khitan nobleman from the Daliao Kingdom, he was not very familiar with the Northland after all, so he still firmly remembered the old saying of 'ask if you don't understand', so as not to cause unreasonable misunderstandings and attract people's attention. People are bored.Especially when I heard that the Daliao Kingdom was at war with the Dajin Kingdom, if there was a nobleman from the Dajin Kingdom, I had to ask him which lord he was from the Daliao Kingdom, and if he encountered a bad temper, he might directly order the guards to capture and kill him. .Sure enough, Yelu Dashi was dressed like a scholar in Chinese clothes from the Central Plains. He was tall, majestic and powerful, with short beards on his lips, upper jaw and lower jaw.Seeing that he was so polite, he also treated him with courtesy, clasped his fists in return and said:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time at Yelu Dashi in the Daliao Kingdom! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

When Ran Nanyuan heard the word 'Jiu Yang', he felt amused. He didn't have a good reputation in Jianghu, so where could this 'Yelu Dashi' get his name from 'Jiu Yang'?In fact, it may just be that he is not used to hearing the words from foreigners. After all, Ran Min, the ancestor of the Ran family, had a deep feud with Wu Hu and others. He doesn't have prejudices like "uninformative education", that's why he has this idea.In fact, most of the literati and even ordinary people in the Song Dynasty would say "long admiration", "fortunate meeting" and so on when they met, and they would also say "have a meal before leaving" to persuade guests to leave, and they would raise their teacups loudly when they wanted them to leave. Say something that makes many people baffled by 'pour tea' and so on.These are just polite words, how can people feel respect for him without saying "Jiu Yang"?Even if the enemy meets and doesn't want to tear his face in front of others, he should grit his teeth and say "fortunately".If the host says 'have a meal before leaving' and gently pushes the guests away, how upright the guests must be to stay for a meal.As for "pour tea" to see off guests, if you don't understand, you can continue to sit down and drink tea until you are full.I don't know why I thought so much all of a sudden, Ran Nanyuan shook his head and calmed down. After all, these thieves haven't given up their resistance yet, and he has to be careful not to get hurt.So he laughed loudly at Yelu Dashi and said:

"It turned out to be Brother Yelu Dashi, and Ran has long admired his name! I should have gone to greet you, but there are still a few thieves who have not been caught by Ran here. Brother Lao Yelu Dashi, wait a moment, and I will wait for them. The thieves in my eyes are all settled, and I will go over and talk to you."

Speaking of which, this group of thieves and bandits are not very eye-catching. They are weaker than the 'Yanhu Village' that once captured Liu Susu, but they put all their strength in the village to stop Ran Nanyuan and his party in the middle of the road.Wang Zhenguan had already found out that there were no other thieves in ambush here, but he was infected by the courage and self-confidence of this group of thieves, so he went to the mountains on both sides to investigate carefully, just in case there was an expert ambush who escaped his investigation.And the rest let the thieves blocking the way understand what kind of iron board they kicked on today, and it is easy for this iron board to make them into teppanyaki.Liu Shijie, who went to Youzhou City to look for his daughter again, didn't even make a move, but stood by the side of the three female relatives. In fact, he didn't count as protecting the three female relatives. Just now, Gao Yurou used a trick against a blind thief' "Breaking gold and drawing swordsmanship", killed with one stroke, the power of that sword frightened Liu Shijie who was next to him and almost shrank behind Shangguan Miaoke.As for the other thieves, Shangguan Qing was wielding his long spear one after another to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from escaping. Only Dugu Xiaoqiu was fighting hard.It was not easy to find a suitable training partner, so the uncles asked Dugu Xiaoqiu to hone his sword skills as much as possible.But at this time, the monster-robber...uh, the thief-robber appeared, Yelu Dashi pulled out his sword on a whim, jumped into the battle group, and shouted:

"I'm here to help you!"

Seeing this, Dugu Xiaoqiu hurriedly used the swordsmanship in his hand even more violently. He saw that the Khitan from Daliao Kingdom who had just jumped into the battle group seemed to be a frail scholar. When the conflict came, he didn't want to cause more trouble.But this time he was obviously mistaken. He saw that the sword in the hands of this Khitan nobleman from the Daliao Kingdom was like a dragon, full of energy, and his sword skills were better than his. His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise:

"Good swordsmanship!"

But Yelu Dashi's guards guarding the side seemed to have been spat with chicken blood, they kept raising their weapons, putting them down, raising their weapons, putting them down, and kept shouting:

"Great Stone Forest Teeth! Great Stone Forest Teeth! Great Stone Forest Teeth!"

This is simply... The corners of Ran Nanyuan's and others' mouths twitched suddenly. This Khitan nobleman Yelu Dashi from the Daliao Kingdom, did he go out with guards responsible for protecting him or followers responsible for shouting and cheering?However, this Yelu Dashi's swordsmanship is really exquisite, not much better than the 'Thousand Illusion Swordsmanship' handed down by Ran Nanyuan's family, and much more subtle than the hodgepodge swordsmanship that Dugu Xiaoqiu is using now.Moreover, Ran Nanyuan felt that this seemed to be the kind of swordsmanship practiced by the Taoist priest of Huanglong Temple who had been a guest at Ran's house.You must know that the way of martial arts has a lot to do with Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, magic and other sects.Among them, Buddhism emphasizes compassion, great power and virtue, vajra's glaring eyes, and thunderbolt means.But the Demon Cult pays attention to weirdness, changeability, sharpness and viciousness, so it cannot be a madman or survive.Confucianism also emphasizes righteousness, six arts of a gentleman, scholarly spirit, and free and easy expression.Taoism emphasizes tranquility and inaction, changes of yin and yang, restraint of the five elements, and the virtue of good life in heaven.Needless to say, the world's martial arts came from Shaolin, the 72 unique skills are powerful all over the world, because there are many lay disciples, and each of them has created a lot of vigorous kung fu.The strength of the demon sect is low, and it has been suppressed since ancient times. The martial arts are still cunning, changeable, sharp and vicious.Although Confucian martial arts are practiced among scholars, there are few masters.On the other hand, Taoist martial arts combine hardness and softness, most of them go to the end, and rarely hurt people's lives.This is the case with Yelu Dashi's swordsmanship. With seven-star steps and a dragon-like sword in his hand, he only hurts the hands and feet, not many people's eyes, let alone kills.Dugu Xiaoqiu saw Yelu Dashi walking by his side as if taking a few steps, the long sword in his hand was sometimes faster than lightning, sometimes calm and powerful, sometimes erratic, almost knocking down the rest of the thieves in the blink of an eye Land, suddenly stared blankly.Although Ran Qianxue next to him thought it was funny that Yelu Dashi's guards were cheering him on, she was even more attracted by his amazing swordsmanship, and even shouted "Dashi Linya" along with her, which made Ran Nanyuan's hair black.But everyone was amazed at Yelu Dashi's swordsmanship for the time being, but they didn't notice Dugu Xiaoqiu who was standing there blankly. The figure of Yelu Dashi dancing sword appeared in front of his eyes. plus correction.Dugu Xiaoqiu was about to try out his revised sword moves, but Ran Nanyuan stopped him first.

"Xiaoqiu! Help your uncles tie up these culprits, bring them back to Youzhou City, and send them to the Yamen for disposal!"

"Yes! Master!"

"Wait a minute!" Dugu Xiaoqiu had just responded to Ran Nanyuan's order, when Yelu Dashi suddenly interrupted, "Brother Ran, in Youzhou City, the subordinate officials of the Daliao Kingdom are still in charge of military and civilian affairs. Subordinates, hand over these thieves to them. My bodyguards will bring my handwritten letter over there, just explain, and you don’t have to make a trip.

"This... that's fine! Then there will be Brother Laoyelu Dashi!"

Ran Nanyuan didn't intend to send these thieves to the government office to receive rewards, but he didn't want the Ran family to commit too many murders. Now that Yelu Dashi was doing it for him, he was also happy and relaxed, so he didn't force it anymore.

"Brother Ran, you're welcome!" Yelu Dashi didn't think much about it, he looked at Ran Nanyuan and his party, and suddenly felt drawn to him, "It seems that you are also going to Youzhou City? Why don't we go together?"

"This... is also good!"

Ran Nanyuan suddenly remembered that he had received a piece of news in Iron Wing Villa, that is, Long Qingluo, the first wife of the ancestor Ran Nanyuan, had sent a pair of children to the family of powerful ministers surnamed Xiao from the Khitan clan of the Daliao Kingdom to raise them. Of course, it was not Daliao at that time. country.At this time, since I have made friends with a Khitan nobleman from the Daliao Kingdom, can I go to find my relatives by the way?It's just that this matter cannot be rushed for the time being, and we need to inquire slowly first.So everyone set off on the road together to Youzhou City.On the way, Ran Qianxue curiously asked why Yelu Dashi's guards shouted 'Dashi Linya', but this question made Yelu Dashi blush a little and was embarrassed to speak.Fortunately, his captain of the guard had a good look and explained it for him.It turned out that Yelu Dashi was both civil and military. He passed the Jinshi examination in the Daliao Kingdom and entered the "Lin Ya", which is the "Hanlin Academy" in the mouth of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, many people called him Dashi Linya, just like the Song Dynasty. The country calls the academicians of the Hanlin Academy "Zhang Hanlin" and "Li Hanlin".Although everyone expected that the literary talents of the Daliao Kingdom were not as good as those of the Daliao Kingdom, but to be able to become a Jinshi and enter the "Lin Ya" of the Daliao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi's knowledge should be more profound.Sure enough, Ran Nanyuan and Yelu Dashi talked very happily along the way, even Wen Ruoxu was willing to recite poems against him, and Ran Qianxue's eyes were shining when listening to his heroic poems, and everyone forgot Yelu Dashi's "barbarian" identity for a moment .In fact, since the Chanyuan alliance, the Great Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Kingdom have ceased military operations for nearly a hundred years, exchanged needs, and the customs of the two countries have influenced each other.Especially in the Daliao Kingdom, it became a fashion for Khitan nobles to learn Chinese, wear Han clothes, recite poems and drink tea, and even celebrate the Han people's Ghost Festival.Even though the "Lin Ya" of the Great Liao State were not as knowledgeable as the Hanlin of the Great Song State, they were not far behind.Everyone laughed and laughed all the way, and they arrived at Fengshanzhai not far from Youzhou City before they knew it. Yelu Dashi led the crowd to Fengshanzhai, and sent those unsightly thieves to officials to serve in the army, so he invited Ran Nanyuan and others to come to his Stay in the mansion for a few days.

"Dashi Linya, you are being polite. I still have important things to do, so I can't stay for a long time, so I have to leave now!"
