In the long history of our great motherland, there are many records of ethnic minorities taking control of the Central Plains. These regimes often adopted barbaric systems that preyed on the people, resulting in unpopularity. The brutal rule could not last long and was soon overthrown. Although the historical factors behind this are complex, the rules are eternal.
Collapsed regimes often leave behind a large number of remnants, just like Murong Fu, who was determined to regain the Yan Dynasty. These ethnic minority regimes will never be destroyed. A nation will often remain, but there is one nation that is more regrettable. Time seems to have disappeared in the long river of history, and no more words can be found. This nation is the Khitan.
The Khitan Kingdom was considered long, but the Northern Song Dynasty lost its head and joined forces with the Jin Kingdom to hold back the Liao Kingdom, which first led to the destruction of the Liao Kingdom. Yelu Dashi led the Khitans to build another outrageously large kingdom in Central Asia. Xiliao, but the Khitan people seemed to have run out of energy, and Yelu Dashi, who was reviving, also liked to sink in his bones. After the demise of the short-lived Xiliao, the Khitan wandered in the long river of history until it lost itself.
Among the ethnic minorities in our country, there is a people who are said to be descendants of the Khitan, the Daur people. Although it is difficult to verify the history, most of the Daur people believe that they are the descendants of the White Horse and Green Niu. In this nation, their core members will inherit the customs of their ancestors and tattoo a wolf head on their chest.
This is also the reason why Liang Chuan believes that this boy Ye Lihan is extraordinary. Some clues can always be found in history, and some little-known secrets can be deduced.
Song people also pursued fashion.
Tattoos were quite popular at this time. Soldiers wanted tattoos, but this was not good. It was commonly known as thieves joining the army. Ordinary people tattoo their bodies with various patterns. Regardless of whether they are men or women, everyone will praise them for their beautiful tattoos. Many of the heroes in Liangshan got tattoos, such as the one-foot-long green Hu Sanniang, the nine-marked dragon Shi Jin, the flower monk Lu Zhishen, etc. There are also Yan Qing, the prodigal son with a flower and a tiger, who has no domineering tattoos and is too embarrassed to come out and hang out in the world.
Even Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, had a small tit tattooed on his neck. Even though he later conquered the world, people still called him "Guo Que'er". The trend of tattoos can be seen in the Song Dynasty. ,
However, those with dragon, tiger and flower patterns do not have wolf tattoos!
Wolves and dogs look so similar. Other ethnic groups in the world use good words when talking about dogs, but our nation only uses bad words when talking about dogs. In the eyes of others, dogs represent loyalty, but to us, loyalty has become synonymous with stupidity, so most people don't like animals like wolves and dogs.
Furthermore, what does the wolf tattoo on the chest mean? wild ambition! Just ask who would tattoo such an offensive totem on their body. It means that ethnic groups other than the Han culture would have no concerns about this.
The reason why Liang Chuan believed that this Ye Lihan was not that simple was that, in addition to the injuries on his body, the time of his injury coincided too well with the time of his own action. A series of reactions that were different from ordinary people were obviously specially trained. In summary, There were many factors that made Liang Chuan dare to use such cruel methods against him.
Ye Lihan lost all hope the moment Liang Chuan pulled out the wolf's head pattern on his chest.
If the other party can talk about this wolf head, it means that he knows the meaning of this wolf head. This wolf head is not something you can get tattooed if you want. Only people from the eight core tribes with pure blood are qualified to have this totem tattooed on their chests. Without this tattoo, it is equivalent to not being recognized by the orthodox Khitan!
Ye Lihan's grandfather was sent to Qingyuan County with a heavy responsibility to infiltrate the Song Dynasty. After the cavalry crossed the Yellow River, he responded with a hundred responses and joined forces inside and outside to destroy the Song Dynasty. However, his grandfather stayed there from a young man until his death. He was old, his beard and hair were all white. The Liao cavalry Feidan could not even see the shadow of the Yellow River, and was forced to sign a most humiliating covenant with the Song people.
Whenever the Liao Kingdom received annual coins from the Song Dynasty, they thought they had taken advantage of it at first. After all, the economy of the Liao Kingdom was very fragile, and its annual fiscal revenue was less than a fraction of that of the Song Dynasty. The old farmer picked vegetables to sell in the city, and suddenly found that the vegetables here sold better. He made a few more pennies and was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days. Later I found out that when people bought vegetables they were feeding the pigs, and I didn’t want to eat them at all.
The Song Dynasty spent less than a thousandth of the cost of military expenditures in exchange for countless peaceful and beautiful development spaces. The Song Dynasty also had a prosperous national fortune, and with the appointment of Renzong, a benevolent king for the ages, the domestic situation was excellent! Every time the Khitan saw this humiliating Sui Coin, they would always hold back a breath of anger that they couldn't let out. When his grandson signed the Yanyuan Alliance, he didn't know how to ask for more money. Now it's fine. Ask Da Song to ask for it. They didn't give it to them either. What's even more painful is that the combat effectiveness of Liao's own army is now completely different from that of A Guda's army. These people only feed the common people and fight? hehe.
It was impossible to defeat them, and they only suffered from these loyal and good people who abandoned their families and children to hide their names for the sake of the nation and the country. They proposed to return to their hometown more than once, but the Liao Kingdom asked them to continue to hide their names in secret, so he could only continue. Taking the risk of losing my head, I took root in this rural land, married a wife and had children in Qingyuan.
In Qingyuan, you can only marry a Han woman, but then your bloodline will not be pure. Therefore, many dignitaries in the Liao Kingdom at that time did not want Ye Lihan's father and others to have wolf head tattoos on their bodies, just because they were not worthy!
In fact, Ye Lihan and his grandfather were not the only spies sent by the Liao Kingdom to the Song Dynasty. A large number of spies went to the south of the Yangtze River. Roads in various states were set up at key points, and the levels were generally based on the regional administration. In terms of levels, Qingyuan can be regarded as a small stronghold at the grassroots level. If there are many spies dormant in Bianliang, Tokyo, it is said that the Liao Congress Hall in Bianjing is the headquarters of these Khitans. These Khitans are planning to wage war in the future. Fire set the prairie ablaze, and the Khitan troops who invaded the Song Dynasty cooperated with each other inside and outside.
The Liao Kingdom spent countless national funds to support these exquisite works, and many powerful people were obsessed with getting involved in the flowery land of the Song Dynasty. It was a pity to abandon these decades of layout, and it might even be detrimental to the Liao Dynasty, so after careful consideration, they decided to It is better to give Yeluhan and others a group of people.
It's just a title, and it doesn't cost the court, so why not? At that time, Wang Mang was reluctant to part with these small details, and he played stupid things like delegating the king to the queen, and changing the high country to the low country. The result was that the people above and below were divided. It would be exactly the same if he could not give up even some small benefits, which was extremely unwise.
When Ye Lihan was a child, he felt that he was no different from the children around him. He just felt that his father was withdrawn and never interacted with others. It wasn't until he was twelve years old that his father revealed all these secrets. From then on, he stopped making friends with many people, and only did some trivial and irregular jobs, for fear that his life experience would be known.
Their father will also teach him some fists and kicks, and instill some loyal and patriotic ideas into him. Ye Lihan was in darkness at first, but later he slowly came into contact with other Liao spies like him, and he slowly accepted this fact.
When I became an adult, my trustee told me that we were getting married. She slept half of the bed and made trouble for him every few days. Either he scolded him for being a coward or scolding him for not being able to make any money. The pots and pans at home had to be replaced with new ones every few days. He could only drown his sorrows with wine. He came back drunk today, but he didn't expect that he would relax for a moment and let Liang Chuan go.
Under the lamp in front of the Buddha, the originally pure place has now turned into an Asura hell. Ye Lihan was half-suspended in the air in the woodshed. He used to dare to put his toes on the ground to relieve the pain in his wrists. Now his ten toenails are covered with steel needles. As soon as his toes are placed on the ground, the steel needles are driven into the nail flesh. After going deeper, he could only huddle in mid-air like a prawn, letting the blood drip from his fingers to the ground.
"He is indeed a tough guy. Those in this profession are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the Liao Dynasty. Well, for the sake of your eternal meritorious service, I can only help you today."
Ye Lihan reluctantly opened his eyes and saw that Liang Chuan's eyes were still glowing with green light. Is he still a human? It was more human than a ghost: "Stay close to each other. The next move is to penetrate the bone seams. Even if a dead person is hit, he will jump out of the coffin to see how your professional ethics is."
Liang Chuan's words were meant for Ye Lihan, but in the eyes of the two people next to him, it seemed as if they were meant for him. One of them was smiling ferociously, and the person hanging in front of Liang Chuan was not a person, but a pig.
"You...you...mother..." Ye Lihan stopped arguing. He knew that he would not be able to escape today. If he cursed enough before his death, he would be worthy of Daliao.
"You'd better cherish this opportunity, otherwise once your periosteum is scratched by me, even if the needle is taken out, you will be disabled, and you will have a slight limp when you walk. I'm afraid if a disabled person wants to do this job, I'm afraid You think Liao Kingdom doesn’t want you either.”
"Bah!" Ye Lihan's chest tightened, and he gathered the strength to spit out a mouthful of phlegm, which was still stained with blood.
With a pop, the phlegm stuck to Liang Chuan's face!
"Third brother!"
"Sanlang!"
The two of them were originally worried about this dead ghost and silently sympathized with him. This mouthful of phlegm made their thoughts disappear.
Zhaodi was agitated and wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan wiped the phlegm on his face, smiled bitterly and said: "There is a way to heaven, but you don't take it. There is no way to hell, so you have to go to hell! I am compassionate enough, don't regret it!"
"Brother Zhao, hold on to his dead legs, be careful not to get kicked by him!"
Zhaodi's quick hands hugged Ye Lihan's calf tightly. At this time, Ye Lihan no longer had any energy to kick him. Zhaodi hugged him tightly, one leg was like Liang Chuan's test subject.
"Even the great gods and goddesses can't stand a cup of tea. If you have the guts, don't howl!"
Liang Chuan held the steel needle tightly, targeted the kneecap, and inserted it into the bone seam at the lower joint!
"Ah!~~" The first time he inserted his fingernails, Ye Lihan's voice could penetrate the roof. Now his screams have reached to the sky and penetrated for nine nights. The monks who had already fallen asleep were shocked by this huge sound. The screams frightened everyone, and they were all guessing what happened at night.
Ye Lihan fainted from the pain, his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he was about to shed blood and tears. The back of his clothes was wet with sweat, and his head fell straight down.
"Hey, it's just foreplay and I can't stand it anymore! I'll wake him up again!"
Ye Lihan woke up immediately after a basin of water and gritted his teeth. The pain prevented him from saying a word. Two eyes like little red lanterns looked at Liang Chuan with hatred. He did not dare to speak for fear of saying a word. The pain after deflation would cause him to faint again.
"This periosteum scraping, as the name suggests, is to scrape the periosteum between the seams of your bones. Just now it was just about scraping your bone seams, now it's the real show!"
Liang Chuan pressed the steel needle and fiddled with the tail of the needle left and right. The tip of the steel needle scratched the bone seams between Ye Lihan's bones bit by bit. You can hear a slight sound quietly, which is the sound of something scraping bones. When you hear it in your ears, your scalp will turn up. Coupled with Liang Chuan's ferocious laughter, the scene didn't look intense at all, but it looked endlessly cruel and bloody.
Ye Lihan was so painful that all the whites of his eyes rolled out. He couldn't see any pupils at all, and he couldn't make a sound in his throat. The veins on his forehead were intertwined and the roots were protruding. The pain was even worse than having a needle inserted into a fingernail. The pain was transmitted directly to the brain through the nerves in the body, and the pain had made him forget who he was.
