He quickly stepped forward and said to Yang Hong with a smile, "Uncle Hong, it's me, I'm back." Then he pointed at his wife and two children beside him and said, "This is Zhuo Jing and his two children"; Yang Hong Bian and Yelu Jin'e exchanged pleasantries;
At this time, Yang Yunfan stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Nephew Yunfan, meet your uncle."
Only then did Yang Yanzhao notice the young man beside him. When he saw Yang Yunfan's appearance, he was in a trance. He thought of his second brother;
This young man looked very much like his second brother who had died in battle; when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment; he was too stunned to react;
Yang Hong wiped his tears and said to Yang Yanzhao with a smile: "Silang, this is your second brother's child, named Yunfan. During the battle of Chenjiagu, the old Linggong entrusted Young Master Yunfan to Master Zhou of the Kunlun faction and other righteous men in the world. We, all the heroes fought to the death to ensure that the young master was fully escorted back to the country;
Head Zhou followed the old Ling Gong’s last wish and allowed the young master to practice in the Kunlun sect until he was eighteen years old. Young master Yunfan only returned home recently;
Yang Yanzhao quickly helped Yang Yunfan and looked him up and down excitedly. With tears in his eyes, he looked at this young man who looked similar to his second brother. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but he just patted Yang Yunfan's shoulder hard and nodded. Said: "Okay, okay!"
Yang Hong came to Chen Zishan again and introduced Yang Yanzhao: "This is Chen Zishan, a disciple of the Kunlun Sect and the young master's senior brother. This time we will go down the mountain with the young master Yunfan." Chen Zishan also bowed and bowed;
"Chen Zishan, a disciple of the Kunlun School, pays homage to General Yang. I have heard of General Yang for a long time. I have great respect for the general and admire his loyalty. Please accept my respect."
Yang Yanzhao quickly helped Chen Zishan up, saying he was ashamed, and encouraged Chen Zishan.
Yang Yanzhao calmed down and said to Yang Yunfan: "Fan'er, uncle is very happy that you are still alive. I remember that when I met you, you were still a baby in swaddling clothes. In the blink of an eye, you have grown up." Yang Yanzhao said with emotion, eyes full of relief. ;
Then he said to Chen Zishan: "Please take me to express my gratitude to Master Zhou. I will definitely visit Master Zhou one day to thank him for his great kindness." Yang Yanzhao introduced his wife and children to everyone again, Yang Yunfan stepped forward to salute again, and everyone exchanged pleasantries before driving towards Tianbo Mansion;
In Tianbo Mansion, everyone in the Yang family has learned that Yang Yanzhao is coming home, and everyone has been waiting at the door of the mansion early.
After the carriage arrived at the alley, Yang Yanzhao's already excited body began to tremble.
It had been nearly twenty years since he left home, and today he returned to the place he had dreamed of countless times. He found that the surroundings had not changed much, and the big tree at the door seemed to be still as tall after so many years.
In Tianbo Mansion, after Yang Yanzhao entered the door, he saw his mother and a group of family members waiting in the courtyard. Most of their faces were covered with tears of reunion after a long separation;
Yang Yanzhao stepped forward and knelt on the ground, hugging the legs of his mother She Saihua, and cried bitterly: "Mom, the child is back. The child is unfilial and failed to bring back the bones of his father and brothers."
He looked up at his mother. After nearly twenty years of separation, his mother's hair was completely gray and there were many more wrinkles on her face;
Yang Yanzhao felt sour in his heart again, and big tears fell down. He had not shed a tear in eighteen years in Liaodi, and now he was reduced to tears;
His wife and children behind him also knelt down and cried; Taijun She held Yang Yanzhao's head and cried to comfort Yang Yanzhao, as if to comfort herself. Thousands of words of longing for her son came to her heart but she didn't know how to say them out. He just said: "Shiro, it will be good to come back, it will be good to come back,"
Yelu Jin'e, who was kneeling behind, took a step forward and said, "Daughter-in-law Jin'e, please pay homage to your mother."
Then he asked the children around him to pay homage to grandma; Taijun She wiped away her tears and said happily: "Get up quickly, Jin'e, Shiro has told me everything about you two. When you enter the Yang family's door, you will be my Yang." My wife, come here, I’ll put this jade bracelet on you,”
Saying that, She Saihua put the jade bracelet she was wearing on Yelu Jin'e's wrist. This jade bracelet was one of the love tokens that Yang Ye gave to She Saihua. It has been worn on her hand for so many years. Today, Giving the jade bracelet to her daughter-in-law showed her recognition and love for her daughter-in-law, and she also prepared gifts for her grandson and granddaughter;
"This jade bracelet is so precious that my daughter-in-law dare not accept it," Yelu Jin'e said.
Yang Yanzhao smiled on the side and said: "You should accept what mother gave you."
After everyone chatted for a while, it was almost Wu time, and the dinner in the Yang family was ready. The meal tonight was very sumptuous. The whole family sat at the same table, and the three generations were enjoying themselves together. Taijun She was in a very good mood and ate more tonight. a bowl of rice;
Early the next morning, after Taijun She led Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yunfan to worship at the ancestral temple, they came to the martial arts lecture hall in the front yard;
The Martial Arts Lecture Hall was the reception room of the Yang Mansion when Yang Ye was still alive. It was also the place where Yang Ye often discussed important matters with everyone;
"Silang, you are back. I have to discuss some things with you and Fan'er," She Taijun said, motioning for the two of them to sit down.
"A few months ago, Master Zhou of the Kunlun sect wrote a book for me. He said he planned to invite all the martial arts sects in the world to hold a "Martial Arts Conference" on top of Kunlun Mountain, and then select some elite disciples from each sect and let Fan'er go north to Liao with them. Brahma Forest and Taiyi Pagoda, and retrieve the bones of your father and brother and the knights of other sects..." She Saihua told the two of them the contents of Zhou Buhuo's letter.
After hearing this, Yang Yanzhao frowned thoughtfully and said: "I have broken into the Brahma Forest several times, but there are so many traps inside, and the Red Seal Leader of the Tianyin Sect is sitting there, it is really difficult to resist. When I heard the news, I felt anxious , also left in a hurry, and was defeated several times. Fortunately, I had thought of an escape route in advance, so my identity was not exposed.
The Taiyi Pagoda is a pagoda behind the Brahma Forest. I was not able to get there. I heard that it is even more dangerous. The person inside is the general of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Feihong, who may be even more difficult to deal with. "
"Does Fourth Uncle know where the bones of grandpa, uncle and knights from various sects are buried?" Yang Yunfan thought of the key to the problem and said.
"I have been incognito in the Liao Kingdom for nearly twenty years, and I have used the influence of the Princess Palace to investigate this matter. According to rumors, the bones of knights from various sects who sacrificed their lives for the country were gathered together by the Khitan people and cremated. They are buried in dozens of large jars under the stone tablets in the Brahma Forest; while the ashes of your grandfather and your uncles are sealed in the Taiyi Tower, guarded by General Yelu Feihong of the Liao Kingdom."
"Does Shiro know why Liao general Yelu Feihong is guarding Taiyi Pagoda?" She Taijun asked with a frown.
She Saihua, Yelu Feihong, also heard Yang Ye talk about him during his lifetime. He was a general of the Liao Kingdom, but she didn't understand why such a general was put aside as a guard general in the Taiyi Tower.
"Although my father and Yelu Feihong were their respective masters during his lifetime, they had fought against each other for many years. They both considered each other a hero, heroes cherish heroes, and they respected each other very much.
After learning that his father had been captured, Yelu Feihong asked several times to see Brother Yelvxiu, the king of the Southern Courtyard, pleading to let his father live. After being rejected by Brother Yelvxiu, he came to persuade his father to surrender to the Khitan. Of course, you can do the same, mother. Guessing that it would be impossible for his father to surrender to the Khitans, he eventually went on a hunger strike and died.
Yelu Feihong was disheartened after hearing the bad news. In addition, the power of the Liao Kingdom has been in the hands of the Queen Mother Xiao in recent years, and the Queen Mother Xiao has obeyed the orders of the brothers Han Derang and Han Dewei. In other words, the Liao Kingdom has The actual power of the Han family was in the hands of the two brothers of the Han family, which also caused Yelu Feihong's displeasure. After he raised objections many times, the Queen Mother Xiao ignored him. From then on, Yelu Feihong claimed to be ill and resigned from the army, requesting to retire and return to his hometown. , practiced Taoism and Zen in Taiyi Pagoda. In fact, he had been guarding the bones of his father and brothers. "Yang Yanzhao told them everything he knew in Liao.
"I didn't expect Yelu Feihong to be such a person who values love and justice." Yang Yunfan said with emotion after hearing this. At first, Yang Yunfan only thought that Yelu Feihong was sent by the Liao people to guard Taiyi Tower, so he didn't think much about it. After listening to Yang Yanzhao's introduction, he felt a sense of respect and affection for Yelu Feihong. He thought in his heart that he would come to Taiyi Tower in the future. The people behind the pagoda must pay homage to Yelu Feihong before sending troops.
