Wu Du said, "What I was thinking about yesterday has come true today." Then he laughed.
Duan Ling thought about what Wu Du said last night, and wanted to meet him when he was very young and bring him home to raise him. He couldn't help laughing at the thought, and the sadness in his heart was swept away.
"How do you say 'father' in Dangxiang language?" Wu Du asked again.
"Brother, father, uncle, uncle." Duan Ling replied, "They are all called Ada."
"Yeah." Wu Du nodded, thought about it, and said, "But I can't speak. If I want to pretend to be dumb, I can only make random gestures."
"It doesn't matter, that's it." Duan Ling replied, he thought for a while, Wu Du pretended to be dumb. At that time, Han people used simple sign language to communicate, but Dangxiang people had their own set of sign language. It was seen by the Liao people.
Wu Du put on Duan Ling's clothes, and said, "After finishing this matter, it is impossible to say that the shepherd will give some favors."
"What benefits do you want?" Duan Ling asked.
"Get some money and move the White Tiger Hall." Wu Du said, "Buy a villa and take you home to play in the future."
Duan Ling and Wu Du looked at each other, the room was charming, Changpin and Changliu-jun were talking outside, they turned their heads together, Wu Du fastened Duan Ling's waist button, put on his hat and went out, Changliu-jun carried A man-high broken mirror leaned against the wall.
The two looked at each other and looked a bit like a party member. Long hired Dang Xiang's words: "What will you say then, you will talk about it first."
Duan Ling also replied in Dangxiang's words: "My father and son came from Tianshui County, Xiliang, and their ancestors were from Shazhou. They sold fur and business to make a living. They came to the Central Plains to buy some tea and go back to eat. My father is deaf and dumb, and I am his tongue. , speak for him, there is something that cannot be taken care of, brothers and uncles, please watch us depend on each other and make it convenient. The Han people say that they are offended by relying on their parents at home and relying on friends outside.”
With that said, Duan Ling followed the etiquette of a party member, with his thumbs exposed, his hands crossed on the sides, placed on his waist, his left foot took a half step, and he bowed forward. Wu Du originally stood still, but upon seeing this, he followed Duan Ling's salutation and bowed slightly.
Duan Ling turned around, helped Wu Du to adjust his movements, and said in Liao language: "When you go out, you should make more friends, one more friend, and more care."
Changpin laughed and said, "Your party policy is right."
Duan Ling replied, "Thank you."
"Wu Dufei is a member of the party." Changpin said, "I'm afraid that he will reveal his secrets, but he can pretend to be a fool. In this way, no one will doubt it."
Wu Du stared blankly, Duan Ling almost lost his breath, and hurriedly said, "So good."
Wu Du's expression was accepted as soon as he said it, and he returned to an indifferent face, and said, "Mr. Long-term employment, this is not an easy matter."
The long recruit bowed and said, "It's really troublesome for the two of you. If it can be done, in front of the Prime Minister, you must have talent."
Wu Du stood casually, not pretending to be a fool, he naturally had an aura, and said casually: "I want one thing, sir, why don't you promise me first."
"But it's okay to say it." Changpin said.
"Of course you know about me and Wang Shan." Wu Du said, "I don't want to hear Xiangye tell Shan'er about his wife."
Changpin was stunned, and Duan Ling was also stunned. Duan Ling's face was flushed immediately, but he didn't expect Wu Du to mention this.
Changpin is a sensible person, so he replied: "The prime minister is also kind, and since he said so, I'll take care of you, the two of you, please let me go."
Duan Ling and Wu Du got on the horses of Benxiao, while Changliu Jun took a long hire and rode another horse, left Runan, and headed towards Luoyan City. At sunset that day, they first arrived in Anxi, and Anxi became an abandoned city. In the early morning of the next day, Wu Du found a broken car, put it on Ben Xiao, and let it pull him forward, so that Duan Ling was free to sleep for a while.
At sunset on the third day, they came outside Luoyan City.
"Mr. Changpin, it's time to tell us how to get into the city?" Duan Ling stood on the high ground of Yandang Mountain and looked down. The north of Luoyan City was an endless plain, and if he went further north, he would reach the Great Wall. Walking along the southwest, four hundred miles away is Yubi Pass. Going further, it is Tongguan.
Luoyan City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, but there is no barrier in the north, which also causes this big frontier city to be very cold every winter.
Now, on the plain to the north, there is a dense army of Yuan people, with nearly 50,000 people camping. At night, the wind blows, the flags are hunting, and the war seems to be about to break out.
Changpin said: "I will not go down. Once you enter the city, Lord Changliu will also try to sneak in to meet you. I will go back to Yecheng. If you have any letter, I can take it back with you."
Duan Ling remembered that Fei Hongde was in Yecheng, and said to Changpin, but Changliu Jun said, "Sir, you can't act alone."
"You can't enter the city with me." Changpin said, "Staying here is no different from returning to Yecheng. It is safer to stay in Yecheng."
Zheng Yan was also in Yecheng, and Duan Ling thought to himself that there should be nothing wrong with letting Changpin stay here and hide at the foot of Yandang Mountain.
Lord Changliu was still hesitating, but Changpin said, "Master Xiang's request is to bring the old man back, Lord Changliu, you should know the importance."
Changliu-jun thought for a long time, and then nodded his head.
Changpin said: "Once someone finds it, he will bring it back to Jiangzhou, and there will be no delay for a moment."
Changliu-Jun said "um", Changpin called Duan Ling aside again, and whispered in Duan Ling's ear: "This man is blind, eighty-three years old this year, has no children, his surname is Qian, and he is a Han Chinese. , you must remember clearly."
Duan Ling's face was full of doubts. He really couldn't remember who he was. Could it be a pseudonym? But at the same time, he also understood why Changpin didn't ask Changliu-Jun to find someone. He only had one surname. How to find him? Can only take a slow look at the roster.
"Okay." Duan Ling suppressed his curiosity, as long as he found someone, it shouldn't be difficult to know the identity of the other person.
Changpin: "What's the problem?"
"Sir, please teach me." Duan Ling said, "How can I get into such a city that is so hard to fly?"
Changpin looked at the military camp at the foot of the mountain, laughed, and said, "Of course there is a way. Have you seen the prison camp?"
In the darkness, Duan Ling couldn't see anything, Changpin began to make plans and said goodbye to them after a while. Duan Ling spoke to Ben Xiao again in a low voice and asked him to follow Changpin back. With Ben Xiao's temper, he didn't let him ride easily, so he could only tie the reins to the back of Changpin's horse and let him run as much as possible.
In the dark night, Wu Du and Duan Ling kept approaching the prison camp. After a while, he dismounted from the horse outside the camp, carrying a burden on his back, poking his head and looking inside, and walked over.
"Who!" Yuan Jun immediately discovered Wu Du. Wu Du swung his hands around and called out "Ah" a few times. Duan Ling stepped forward and pulled him to leave, but the Yuan army had already surrounded him.
Duan Ling immediately explained to the Yuan people in Dang Xiang's words that he and his father were here to do business, and he had something to say. However, as soon as he said the beginning, the burden was snatched away, he was searched again, and his hands were tied with ropes, and he was taken into the prison camp.
During the body search, Wu Du also watched vigilantly at Yuan Ren who touched Duan Ling, for fear that Duan Ling would be stripped of clothes by Yuan Ren because of his beautiful appearance.
The ordinary rope that ties people can't trap Wu Du at all. As long as he wants to do something, he can break the rope at any time. But luckily it was night, so I couldn't see clearly. In Yuan Bing's eyes, he just thought he had caught two fat sheep.
In Xiying, Shi Chang questioned them a few words. Wu Du just had a panicked expression, while Duan Ling begged for mercy in a stumbling and incomprehensible Yuan language. In the end, Shi Chang became impatient and waved his hand to take him away. go down.
Then, the gates of the prison camp were opened, and Duan Ling and Wu Du were kicked in.
Most of the prisoners inside were asleep, and there was no movement when they heard a sound. Occasionally someone looked up and looked at them. Wu Du pretended to move to the corner with difficulty, leaned against the wooden fence on one side, and let Duan Ling lean on him.
"Sleep for a while." Wu Du whispered, "Wait for Lord Changliu, isn't it uncomfortable to have your hands tied?"
"Success." Duan Ling whispered next to Wu Du's ear, "It's not uncomfortable."
Gradually the sky began to light up, and the captives began to talk in low voices, all men, lamenting laments, complaining complaints. Duan Ling talked to them in the Liao language and learned that some of them had escaped from Luoyan City.
When someone asked Duan Ling and Wu Du where they came from, Wu Du kept silent, Duan Ling said that he and his father came to Luoyan City to do business, and as soon as they approached, they were arrested by the Yuan army.
Everyone naturally believed that Duan Ling noticed another Liao man with bruises all over his body. He seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"What happened to him?" Duan Ling asked.
A middle-aged man replied, "He's sick."
"What's your name?" Duan Ling moved over and rubbed the man.
The other party had a high fever, was in a coma, had disheveled hair, and was wearing Liao people's attire. The more Duan Ling looked, the more he felt deja vu. He asked the prisoners around him about this person, but no one had seen him.
The middle-aged man lamented: "When death is imminent, don't bother."
The middle-aged man surnamed Shen, called Shen Chong, was an official in Luoyan City. First, he got the news that the Yuan people were coming to attack, and he took the opportunity to escape. The army was arrested. The Yuan people asked him to write a letter, asking the people in the city to take money to redeem, where does Shen Chong have any money? Can only be held like this forever.
Duan Ling moved back again, and Wu Du wrote with his finger in the palm of his hand: [Know? 】
Duan Ling glanced at Wu Du, his eyes hesitated, he frowned, and shook his head.
[Why isn't Changliu-Jun coming yet? 】 Duan Ling wrote.
【night. ] Wu Du's long fingers wrote on Duan Ling's palm, and squeezed his hand again.
Duan Ling leaned against Wu Du's chest, his stomach growling with hunger, but there was nothing he could do. In the evening, the Yuan army finally threw in a basket of beans and scattered them all over the ground, like feeding chickens.
When the captives saw that there was something to eat, they hurriedly squatted on the ground and took the beans with their mouths to eat.
Duan Ling and Wu Du just looked at them. After a while, Yuan Ren carried the bucket again and poured water into it. The prisoners opened their mouths and wanted to drink some water.
Duan Ling was so thirsty that his throat was smoking, and he thought that this job was really not done by human beings. Changliu-jun would not come at night, and he would beat his hands when he went back.
After such a day passed, the captives gradually became quiet again.
At night, Duan Ling was dozing off when a finger poked him behind his back, cutting the rope on his hand, and Lord Changliu finally came.
