Yang Yunfan looked at his sister in the distance, feeling happy and anxious at the same time, and quickly motioned for her to come over, but Li'er looked at Yang Yunfan and then at the dying Huo Ji beside him, and shook his head.
Seeing this, Yang Yunfan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said nothing. Huo Ji beside him was also stunned. Knowing that the little girl couldn't bear to leave him, he felt warm in his heart, and then waved to signal Li'er to leave quickly.
At this time, Xiao Sami, who was hiding behind the mound, saw clearly the situation in front of him, and a dozen cavalrymen from the Liao Kingdom's Tielin Army behind him also gathered beside him.
Xiao Sami knew that it would be difficult for people like him to take advantage of the elite cavalry of the Song Army, but the task he received was to bring Yang Yanzhao's daughter back to the Liao Army camp. The situation at this time made it difficult to bring her back. , in this case, then the next best thing is to kill the person, so that you can have an explanation when you go back.
Thinking of this, looking at the little girl in front of him, Xiao Sami bent down behind the mound and slowly pulled the bow. The sound of the bow string opening and closing reached the ears of Huo Ji who was nearby. He secretly thought something bad. Although he didn't know where the bow and arrow would be shot, the target must be the little girl in front of him. In the flash of lightning, he subconsciously thought He threw the little girl to the ground and protected the little girl with his own body.
Seeing this, Yang Yunfan in the distance thought Huo Ji was going to hurt Li'er. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly heard the sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air. Huo Ji fell to the ground in response, but his body was still lying on the little girl's body. .
Yang Yunfan seemed to understand something. He roared, and the cavalry behind him swarmed forward. In a panic, Xiao SaNi did not replenish his arrows, but saw that the situation was not good and led his men, mounted their horses and ran, shooting arrows backwards while running to block the speed of the pursuers.
After Yang Yunfan rode his horse to Li'er's side, he reined in the horse, then looked at Xiao Sami and others who disappeared into the night, waved his hand to stop the people who wanted to pursue, and signaled the poor bandits not to pursue them.
Yang Yunfan got off the horse, helped Li'er who was half-kneeling on the ground crying, wiped the tears on her face, and then frowned at Huo Ji who was lying on the ground.
Huo Ji tried hard to open his eyes, and blood flowed from his mouth. After confirming the identity of the visitor, he sneered and said: "Yang... Yang Yunfan!"
Yang Yunfan didn't respond, just looked at everything in front of him, with some doubts and confusion in his eyes. He didn't know what happened, why Huo Ji fell out with the Liao people, and why did the person who kidnapped Li'er want to save Li'er? Judging from the situation, it seems that Huo Ji is taking Li'er to escape to Song Dynasty...
In fact, it wasn't just Yang Yunfan who couldn't figure it out. Huo Ji, who was lying on the ground, didn't understand why he was doing this. Maybe it was because of the words "Uncle, you are a good person!", or maybe it was because of this little girl's eyes. Like the eyes of my daughter who died more than 20 years ago.
Due to excessive injuries and excessive blood loss, Huo Ji's face turned pale. Yang Yunfan leaned down to check Huo Ji's injuries, frowned and sighed, then slowly stood up and stood aside in silence. In other words, Huo Ji's injuries have already been cured, and he has run out of energy to hold on until now.
Yang Yunfan shook his head at Li'er beside him, and Li'er's tears fell like a broken string. Yang Yunfan was even more confused as to why his sister cared so much about Huo Ji. After all, it was Huo Ji who abducted her here.
Huo Ji, who was seriously injured and lying on the ground, also knew that his end had come. Looking at the crying little girl, Huo Ji straightened up with difficulty, forced a smile, and said intermittently: "Don't... …don’t cry…live well…live well…and don’t trust others so easily…in the future…”
Before he finished speaking, Huo Ji's body trembled, his words stopped abruptly, the light in his eyes dimmed, and his body hung weakly to one side...
This generation of tycoon who once boasted that "if you are not born as food, die as cooking", he died silently in the land of Yanyun on the border of Song and Liao Dynasties. Huo Ji made his fortune in the land of Yanyun and was buried again. Here, it seems that everything is certain.
Although the Liao cavalry had temporarily retreated, they were in enemy territory and dangerous and unpredictable. It was difficult to ensure that the Liao army would return. For safety reasons, Yang Yunfan pulled up Li'er, who was already crying, and took Huo Ji's body. He was tied to a horse and headed south back to Song Dynasty.
After riding for half a stick of incense, everyone came to a hillside. The snow on the top of the hillside had not yet melted, and a piece of crystal white illuminated the darkness before dawn. There is an ancient tree at the top of the slope. Although the trunk has been cracked, the branches at the top of the tree are very lush. Although there are no leaves, it will surely be lush again when the spring warms and the flowers bloom.
After Yang Yunfan looked at the nearby terrain, he got off his horse and untied Huo Ji's already stiff body.
Seeing this, the little girl on the horse also jumped off the horse and looked at Huo Ji's body and then at Yang Yunfan, seeming a little confused.
Yang Yunfan sighed and said: "There are slopes and trees nearby, and there is a river in front of it. It is also a geomantic treasure. Let's bury Huo Ji here!"
Li'er looked around and nodded.
A group of more than a dozen people also got off their horses and dug out a pit of about half a meter with their weapons. Then they carried Huo Ji's body into the pit. Li'er helped Huo Ji tidy up his clothes and messy hair. , Yang Yunfan sighed in his heart, and then everyone used weapons to pile the soil into a grave.
Looking at this generation of heroes who once dominated the world, rebelled, and stirred up the turmoil on the border between Song and Liao, he was just a barren hill after his death. No matter how amazing and talented he was in life, he was just a speck in the vast river of history. It was just sand and gravel. Thinking of this, Yang Yunfan felt a sigh of relief.
With Huo Ji's death, it also marked that the last embers of the once-dominated gang, the Kowloon Society, were completely burned out, heralding the end of an old era and the coming of a new era.
After gathering their thoughts, everyone headed south. When they reached the boundary of Baozhou, the team of dozens of people was too conspicuous to hide their whereabouts. Yang Yunfan ordered the rest of the cavalry to go west, join the imperial army led by Wang Jien and report the success of the rescue. news and the battle situation in Baozhou City.
After the rest of the Forbidden Army cavalry took the order, Yang Yunfan dismounted his horse and led Li'er all the way to Baozhou City. After avoiding the Liao army that was besieging the city, he entered the south city of Baozhou City through a secret passage.
After entering the city, Yang Yunfan showed his military badge and revealed the identities of the two men, but Captain Xuncheng was also very cautious and asked them to wait while he went to report the matter.
No wonder, at this time, it was wartime. The enemy army besieged the city and tried various methods to break the city. However, Yang Yunfan and his two men were able to enter the city despite the enemy army besieging the city. After entering the city, they directly went to find the city's top general. There is no guarantee that the other party will not resort to assassination tactics. No wonder Captain Xuncheng acted cautiously.
When Yang Yunfan saw this, not only did he not feel unhappy, but he secretly admired the army under his fourth uncle Yang Yanzhao for being so disciplined and careful in handling things. He also gradually understood the reason why his fourth uncle relied on fortified cities to hold back the Liao army.
