Xie Ming

Chapter 304 It turns out that Yan Yingyuan

On the north bank of the Yellow River, three miles southwest of the temporary camping point, Xiao Jingchuan and his party met a fisherman.

While asking about the situation, I suddenly learned that he was an old acquaintance from the capital, so I couldn't help but talk more about the old man's recent situation.

When he mentioned the Jiannu's occupation of the capital, Old Man Yan was filled with righteous indignation and was quite righteous. Xiao Lang and others were also very moved when they heard this.

"Okay! Wow!"

"Yan Bo Gao Yi!"

"We in the military have a duty to defend the land and serve the people!"

"Don't worry, the Northern Expedition is something that must be carried out!"

"We have an important mission this time. We must protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and help him go south to stabilize the southeastern half!"

"Once the situation in southern Japan is stabilized, we will surely lead our troops northwards!"

"Then we will be able to attack the capital, recapture the capital, and recover all the lost territory in no time!"

Xiao Lang responded generously to Yan Bolai. Since there was no interest involved, he did not guard against him and told him to escape.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Yan was very surprised and also impressed when he heard about the prince's affairs.

"Yes! OK!"

"I believe it, old man!"

"I believe it!"

"It is a relief for our Ming Dynasty to have a general like Mr. Xiao, who is loyal to his master and cares about the people and the country!"

"Good, good! There is hope of retaking Beijing!" Old Man Yan nodded frequently, approving wholeheartedly.

"Haha, that's right!"

"Uncle Yan, does the fishing village in front have a name?"

"I wonder if there is any experienced boat captain in the village?"

"We are joining forces to cross the river to the south, and we are in a hurry to find a boat and hire people, so."

Seeing that the story of the northern border had come to an end, Xiao Lang was worried about crossing the river tomorrow morning, so he changed the subject and hurriedly brought the two sides back to the main topic.

"Oh, oh! Oh!"

"Ouch, hoo! Look at me. Hehe, please don't blame me, Mr. Xiao!"

"Once the old man started talking, he never stopped. He almost made things difficult for Xiao Lang!"

"Haha, the village facing the water in front is called Xirenhe Village."

"There are quite a few good and decent leaders in the village."

"Well, I don't need to fish here!"

"Why don't I just take my grandson and go back with you guys?"

"Mr. Xiao, you don't know something!"

"The reason why I, Old Man Yan, fled from the north to this place to rest is because there is a relative in Xirenhe Village. In the past few days, both my grandfather and I have been staying with him."

"Let's go! Let's not talk about anything else! I'll take you there right now. With my reputation as an old man, you can at least talk to me, right?!"

When Yan Bo heard Xiao Lang asking about the main topic again, he realized that he might have delayed the matter, so he felt quite guilty. He hurriedly tried to flatter him, intending to act as a guide.

Seeing that Yan Bo was so enthusiastic to help, Xiao Lang was also happy and grateful.

"Haha, good! This is even better!"

"I am sorry to bother you, Uncle Yan, and I have prevented you from catching any fish!" Xiao Wei was being polite.

"Hey! It's okay. It's nothing. It's okay!" Mr. Yan waved his hand in reply.

"Come on! Old man, take my horse!"

"There's still some distance to go, as you're older." Xiao Lang said politely, letting the horse take over.

"Oh, oh, no, this can't be done!"

"I can't ride a horse, old man!"

"Let's walk with our heads in front and our legs in front. I'll lead the way for you!"

"Speaking of which, how can I ride on the general's horse?"

"Mr. Xiao, I appreciate your kindness, but please don't break the rules!" Uncle Yan declined.

"Haha, it doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!"

"Old man, you and your grandson can just get on the horse, and I can just lead the horse and walk slowly!"

"My horse has a good temper, just sit tight!"

"Looking west from here, the village is still half a mile away!"

"I feel bad enough as a junior!" "Come! Come!" Xiao Lang refused, and while speaking, he forced the old man to climb up.

"Hey, what...what are you talking about!"

"Well, then I'm going to be so rash as to be an old man!"

"Ho ho ho."

"Uh, Mr. Xiao, may I ask how many troops do you have under your rule?!"

"It's a blessing for the people below to have a leader like you!"

Mr. Yan was riding on his horse and was in high spirits, but he felt quite restrained, so he just found something to talk about.

"Haha, there must be more than ten thousand people!" Xiao Yi responded.

After hearing this, Yan Bo was speechless, his behavior suddenly stopped, his smiling face froze, his eyes were wide open, and it was really incredible to watch.

"oh oh."

"This"

"My dear!"

"Then, then you are the general!"

"Ouch!"

"Good, good! It's really good!"

"With such a general, the Ming Dynasty can be saved!" Mr. Yan responded with emotion.

Seeing this, Xiao Lang smiled. This compliment made him feel a little embarrassed, so he forced himself to change the subject again and talked about how he felt about having just been entrusted with the task of entrusting his son to the Lord of Hell.

"Haha, Mr. Yan, you are so kind!"

"Hey, that's right!"

"You just mentioned your son. I wonder what his name is?!"

"When I escort the prince to the southern border, if he wishes, I can ask his brother to come to the army for a chat!"

"I think that since I have a father like you who understands the great principles, my brother must be a good person!"

"When Yan Bo arrives in Jiangyin, you may ask him to surrender."

"They are all fellow villagers who know me well. I will take care of you when you come!" Xiao Lang was the first to do a favor.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yan was so happy that his mouth almost reached his ears!
"Oh?! Roar!"

"Okay, okay! That's great!"

"Hey! What's the use of being a young master? A child from a poor family wouldn't dare to be raised in front of Mr. Xiao!"

"This, my son Ying Yuan, he is a man of integrity, willing to take on responsibilities, but, it's just that he has this temper, haha, he is very stubborn!"

"When I get to Jiangyin, I will find him and ask him to join your army!"

"Haha. When the time comes, I hope the general can help take care of me. I, Old Man Yan, will be very grateful. Thank you in advance! Haha."

After saying this, Mr. Yan immediately bowed and thanked sincerely.

Seeing this, Xiao Lang had no choice but to return the gift.

But when he suddenly heard the word "Ying Yuan", he began to wonder in his heart, so he turned his head back, frowned, and muttered to himself.

“Ying, Ying Yuan!”

"The surname is Yan, and he is currently in Jiangyin. Could it be..."

"Oh? Yan Yingyuan, it's actually him!" Xiao Lang was walking forward with the reins of the horse in front of him. Suddenly, he thought of something and it came to his mind in an instant.

He was overjoyed, he never thought that he would actually meet here and hear news about such a person.

"Eighty days of wearing hair to pledge loyalty, representing the seventeen generations of Taizu."

"One hundred thousand men died together, leaving the Ming Dynasty with a land of three hundred miles!"

A suicide poem, a legendary story for generations to come!

The heroes of Jiangyin who fought against the Qing Dynasty will be remembered forever!

"Haha, Uncle Yan, your brother is currently living in Jiangyin as the Dianshi, Yan Yingyuan, Yan Liheng (Zi Liheng) right or not?!"

"Ying means taking the exam, and Yuan means the top scorer!" Xiao You asked excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yan was stunned.

"Ah, yes, no, no mistake!"

"This, could it be that Mr. Xiao has met my son before?!" the old man was stunned.
