Speaking of the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Dou Jiande is an unignorable person. Although he is not as brave as Qin Shubao Yuchi Gong, he may not be the most dazzling galaxy in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, but he is definitely an extremely special one. If you use two words to describe Dou Jiande, it is a hero. If you use four words to summarize the character of this hero, it is a righteous person. He keeps his promise the most and will remain unswerving throughout his life. Qin Qiong Yuchi Gong Cheng Yaojin Xu Shiji and others shine with stars, while Dou Jiande is a rare king of this era. He once divided the world with Li Tang three times, but although he was eventually defeated, this still cannot conceal his personal charm.

In the Romance, it is said that Dou Jiande was Li Yuan's brother-in-law, Li Shimin's uncle. He said that he was originally the Duke of Xia of the Great Sui Dynasty. Seeing that the Sui Dynasty had exhausted his energy, he released him privately when he was executed by killing Li Mi in prison and returned to his hometown to fight against the Sui Dynasty. There is even a story in it that Dou Jiande used Empress Xiao to exchange for the imperial seal from the wine and sexist Li Mi, who was dreaming of an emperor, but was frightened and frightened by his nephews Li Shimin and Li Yuanba, and snatched the seal away.

Of course these are just the annotations of later generations. In fact, Dou Jiande was not a Duke of Xia at all, and he had no relationship with Li Yuan's wife Dou. Dou was just a farmer in Beizhou, Kanto. Some of his family businesses and land were considered a landlord. But he had nothing to do with Dukes. However, even though he was a low-class family, Dou Jiande later became the King of Xia in Hebei.

When Ling Yun read this period about Dou Jiande in the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he admired Dou Jiande very much because he was a hero with a slightly cold background but almost won the world. Although he finally defeated Li Tang, he was still an admirable figure. Ling Yun once read from history books that when Dou Jiande was young, an old man from a neighbor died of illness. His family was poor and could not even afford a funeral, so he could not be buried. Such a tragic story reached Dou Jiande's ears. Without saying a word, he plowed his own ox

He gave it to his neighbors and asked them to sell their cattle to hold a funeral. Dou Jiande did many benevolent and righteous things like Dou Jiande, and his reputation was everywhere in the four fields and eight villages in Beizhou. Later, Dou Jiande's father passed away, and thousands of villagers from all over the country gathered spontaneously to attend the funeral for Dou's father. At that time, the funeral process continued for several miles, but in the face of the gifts from the villagers, the young Dou Jiande did not take any money. After he took over the family business, his good deeds did not stop and he gave more kindness and won praise.

Dou Jiande was not only kind and righteous, but also smart. He went to the frontier with his friends to do business and earned a lot of money. He was also brave. Because he often went out of the frontier, Dou Jiande made a lot of money. Many people knew about this and had a few thieves. One night, seven or eight thieves sneaked into Dou Jiande's house to rob, but Dou Jiande was alerted. He hid quietly behind the door, and waited for the thieves to enter one by one, and killed three in a moment. The other five thieves were extremely frightened and were so scared that they dared to enter again.

He only asked Dou Jiande to send the corpses of his accomplice back. Dou Jiande pretended to agree and let the bandits throw a rope in. He tied the corpses and then pulled it out. As a result, after the bandits really threw the rope in, Dou Jiande tied himself to the rope and let them pull it out. Several bandits finally pulled out the "corpses of the accomplice" when they were about to untickle it, Dou Jiande, who pretended to be a corpse, suddenly jumped up, holding a steel knife in his hand, and knotted the remaining five thieves together.

This incident caused a sensation back then. After Dou Jiande's reputation as being kind and righteous and doing business, he added a brave fame. Therefore, Dou Jiande even served for a period of time until he was forced to leave his hometown.

Ling Yun looked at Dou Jiande carefully, seven feet tall, slightly dark skin, and looked in his early thirties, with firm eyes and calm eyes. History records that he fled abroad after committing the crime. It was not until Yang Guang ascended the throne that he was able to return home. He was soon ordered to fight against Liao and became the leader of 200 people because of his bravery. Later, he began to join the anti-Sui army and eventually became the king of Hebei.

Unexpectedly, after Dou Jiande left Hebei, he actually came to Henan and visited Erxian Village.

"I have long admired Brother Dou's name, but I have always regretted that I have not met each other. I don't expect to meet here today. It's really a fate." Ling Yun bowed and smiled.

Dou Jiande thought Ling Yun was just a polite word, and reluctantly smiled, "Where, where." Dou Jiande was the most realistic and did not like hypocrisy. Ling Yun's long-term reverence greatly reduced his original favorability, and even his response became a bit perfunctory.

Ling Yun felt the sudden coldness, "I'm not a polite word. I was in Yanshan, Hebei before, but many friends in Hebei mentioned Brother Dou. When he was young, he used his family to be a funeral for neighbors who had no money to hold funerals. He also said that after Brother Dou became the village chief, he organized neighbors from the village to go out to the frontier to do business and lead his friends to get rich and live a good life. In addition, everyone praised Brother Dou's family for being thieves and brave enough to kill eight bandits. It's really amazing and praise. Brother Dou is smart and brave, and has feelings and righteousness. This kind of man is what our children in the world admire. He has never been able to meet before, but unexpectedly, he met here today. I just heard Brother Shan say that Brother Dou had never cared about his own safety and insisted on going south to save me. I am so grateful. Here, I respect Brother Dou for three cups, and do it first."

After Ling Yun finished speaking, he drank three cups in a row.

Dou Jiande couldn't help but be moved. He thought Ling Yun was just polite, but he didn't expect that he could tell him one by one. This is not fake, and Shan Xiongxin just introduced his name in person, which shows that Yi Feng had never heard of others introducing him. Now when he heard his name, he suddenly told his past story. This is indeed his name. He had heard of it and remembered so clearly that Yi Sanlang was indeed interested.

For a moment, Dou Jiande felt flattered.

Who is Yi Feng? In the north, it is famous. The Tiger Alliance is not a little thief who can rob families. This is a well-known force on the frontier. He has been out of the frontier for a long time and has been looking forward to these heroes for a long time. However, Yi Sanlang, the ninth leader of the Tiger Alliance, actually knew about a small person like him, and he still remembered so clearly.

"If you want to call the eldest brother of the Ninth Army, if Meng Buqi, just call me Bohu." Dou Jiande was excited, and even his voice was a little distorted. Hebei people respected heroes the most. He was like a northern man who often traveled outside the border, and even had a nearly admiration for the famous white horse and silver spear Yi Sanlang on the frontier.

"Brother Bohu is older than me, so I should call you Brother Dou. Brother Dou can call me Yi San or Ling Yun, either." Ling Yun said with a smile. He also admired Dou Jiande a little bit, although he admired the Xia king in history. Although Dou Jiande was only one of the many anti-kings in the late Sui Dynasty, he was completely different from other anti-kings, especially those who were from peasants or small landlords like him. In the troubled times, he fought for the world, but instead of smashing, looting, killing, but treating scholars and people kindly, advocating the development of love, focusing on emotions, and being frugal. Many of the heroes in all directions were living in poverty. However, under his rule, he was once a thief in the country and sleeping in the business and traveling. He was indeed a rare king.

"Hello Yi Sanlang, I am Bohu's fellow villager Sun Anzu." Seeing Ling Yun so approachable, Sun Anzu couldn't help but introduce himself.

Sun Anzu is of medium height, slightly older than Dou Jiande, with dark skin, rough skin, curly beard, but has strong muscles and a sturdy figure. He is also a brave warrior at first glance.

"Hello, Brother Sun."

"The Nine Headmaster is good. I am also a fellow townsman of Bohu. My name is He Xiaode, a native of Pingyuan." He Xiaode also stepped forward nervously and introduced himself. This is also a typical Hebei man.

After greeting each other, everyone sat down again. During the meal, Dou Jiande and the other two were excited to come up to toast several times, and Ling Yun was always there.

Halfway through the wine, Ling Yun took advantage of the alcohol and said to Lai Hu'er: "Mr. Lai, I have a heartless request today. I wonder if Lai Hu can agree?"

"Lingyun, you might as well say it!" Lai Hu'er had a good impression of Lingyun and did not show any airs of a second-rank official at the time of the dynasty, and said with a gentle smile.

"This time, he was ordered by the King of Jin to go north and took on many errands. The task was heavy. He was quite nervous. He saw the bravery of the young master Liulang and the second brother Qin in front of the account of the two kings. He really sighed. Therefore, he wanted to invite the young master to give up his love and borrow Liulang and the second brother Qin to do this errand with him. I wonder if the young master can help him?"

Lai Hu'er was going to take office in Jianzhou, Fujian, and he had to set off to continue north. Once he parted, he didn't know when he would have a chance to meet these two people. Ling Yun also seized the opportunity and made such a request. While Lai Hu'er was in a good mood at this time, he was half drunk again.

Lai Hu'er looked at Ling Yun with a thought in her heart. Sending his son to Ling Yun to follow him north is not simple. While he was still hesitating, Lai Liulang could not help but say, "Father, the child is willing to go north with Sanlang." Although Lai Liulang was brave, he was only young after all. At this time, he was only sixteen years old, and the most important thing was a hero. Qin Qiong had already made him regarded as a brother, not to mention that he had met so many heroes at Erxianzhuang, especially when he was born in a military general's family, but he did not have the kind of boldness and freedom in Green Forest style. In such a short period of time, he had almost immersed in this atmosphere.

Ling Yun didn't make this request, he wanted to make it, not to mention that Ling Yun even took the initiative to make it, so how could he be willing to miss it?

Lai Huer saw his son's expectant look, and looked at Qin Qiong again. Seeing that the guard in front of the tent who had always been steady, he sighed in his heart and patted his forehead and said, "Since you both are willing to go with Saburo, then go. But remember to be steady and don't cause trouble for Saburo." Lai Huer has twelve sons, and this Liu Lao is the most brave. Now the eldest is in the palace and the second and third are studying in the Imperial College. Lao Liu is about to become an adult and doesn't like studying. Since he wants to go to the north with Yi Feng.

, then let him go. He could guess some of the matter of Yi Feng going to the north. When he was in the capital, he had heard from his old boss Yang Su that the court had made a free move now and was about to teach the lesson. Goryeo, who was ready to move, was ignorant of the heavens and earth. It is estimated that the illegitimate son of King Jin went to the north, which was related to this matter. If Lao Liu followed, he might have a chance to make achievements. After all, although he had earned a lot of fame and fortune, Liu Lang was just Lao Liu. He might have some family wealth in the future, but he had to win his own fame.

When Ling Yun and Lai Liulang Qin Qiong heard that Lai Hu'er finally agreed, they felt relaxed and happy.
