Chapter 4 The Son of the King

Tieying complained. Things changed too fast, and it was too late for him to stop them.

Luo Qinghan knew that he was a famous leader of the rebel army in Liaodong. In the past few years, he had been defeated repeatedly and repeatedly, but the banner would not fall. If what Luo Sinan said was true, then this team was indeed a rebel army, and he and Li Hu would not be in danger of life. But now, if Li Hu had such a fuss, it would be hard to say.

At this time, the two people rushing in front were approaching Li Hu, holding a shaky battle knife in their hands, with a fierce momentum, and it seemed that they had to chop off Li Hu's head.

Tieying was shocked. In desperation, he rushed to Li Hu and shouted at the top of his throat: "I am also a rebel, and so are I..."

The two people holding the knife stopped. If they were brothers of the rebels, they would not be able to cut their heads.

"Train him up and ask carefully." Someone called out. Several big men rushed over, erected the Tie Ying, and asked non-stop. Tie Ying had been on the mountain in the past few years, and he knew very little about the rebel army, so of course he had flaws in his words.

"Cut it, chop it, these two bird thieves dared to lie to us and drag them into the woods." Everyone was furious and dragged Li Hu and Tieying into the woods.

Luo Sinan just stood up with the help of the big man in red robe. When he saw this scene, his face changed color, "Dad, Dad... you can't kill them, you can't kill them."

"That little thief deserves to die, how dare he kill you." Luo Qinghan said angrily, "I want to cut him into pieces."

"Dad, he saved me..." Luo Sinan didn't expect things to turn out like this, and he stamped his feet in a hurry, "Dad, I beg you."

"These two bird thieves are not good people." Luo Qinghan was unmoved. "In my opinion, they may be scouts of the Liao army, so it's better to kill them, so as not to cause trouble."

Luo Sinan was speechless. His father said that they were bad people, so he should not be wrong, and there was no reason to plead with him.

Li Hu regretted his intestines. It was all caused by his stinky mouth. As a result, he not only ended his life, but also implicated the uncle.

Tieying struggled hard, shouting constantly, but his defense was meaningless at this time and no one believed it. Seeing Li Hu being dragged into the woods, Tieying was really desperate. At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and suddenly thought of a life-saving strategy.

"He is the son of King Li Hong of Han and cannot be killed."

Luo Qinghan was shocked and raised his hand and shouted: "Drag it back, drag it back for me."

When everyone heard the word "Li Hong", they were shocked and suspicious, and hurriedly carried the two of them in front of Luo Qinghan.

Luo Qinghan looked at Li Hu and Tie Ying again. His expression was very serious. After thinking for a while, he slowly walked to Li Hu, looked at it for a long time, then turned his head and looked at Tie Ying, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

"I am Tieying, one of Li Hong's eight iron guards." Tieying raised her head and said proudly.

A burst of exclamations suddenly came from the crowd.

"Take off his shirt." Luo Qinghan waved to his subordinates, "See if he is the eight iron guards. If not, chop them up and feed them to the dog."

The two big men hurriedly stepped forward and loosened the rope and lay down the iron eagle's shirt with all their hands. The crowd exclaimed again.

The iron eagle has a tattoo on its back, it is an eagle that spreads its wings, lifelike and daunting.

Luo Qinghan stepped forward and looked carefully. There was a scroll in the eagle's claws, and a line of small words engraved on the flower scroll was as thin as a mosquito: Muzi Gongkou King governed the world and the world was very happy. "Muzi" means "Li", "Bowkou" means "Hong", and together it means Li Hong, the king governed the world and the world was very happy.

"Everyone retreat..." Luo Qinghan looked at everyone, waved his hand, then turned around and said to Luo Sinan, "You go and prepare some wine and meat, hurry up."

Luo Sinan looked at Tie Ying with a look of admiration, "Uncle, are you the legendary eight iron guards?"

Tieying was untiing Li Hu. When he heard Luo Sinan ask him, he couldn't help but smile and nod, "Child, can you help me?" Luo Sinan knew what Tieying meant, so he hurriedly walked behind Li Hu and untied the leather rope on his wrist.

Li Hu was full of doubts. The life-and-death transition was just a moment, but it was full of countless secrets. He was eager to know, but just now he caused trouble. Now he had to close his mouth and stop causing trouble no matter what.

Piso untied it, Li Hu turned around and saw Luo Sinan, and a resentment came up. He couldn't control his mouth and blurted out: "The gift from the girl is unforgettable."

Luo Sinan's head hurts, his stomach hurts, and he is already angry in his heart. He is even more angry when he hears this sentence. He raises his foot and kicks Li Hu hard on the calves, "Scammer, stingy..."

Li Hu screamed and kept turning around with his calf. Luo Sinan was in a state of power and pushed hard with both hands. Li Hu couldn't stand steadily, fell down to the sky, and his head hit the ground hard, and suddenly the stars flashed in front of him. Luo Sinan thought that Li Hu had just said seriously that his father was missing, and he was foolishly asking for him to find his father. He was even more angry and kicked him, "Scammer, liar, liar..."

When everyone saw them fighting again, they found it very interesting and laughed.

Tieying originally wanted to come forward to dissuade him, but because Luo Qinghan was standing beside him, he couldn't say anything, so he could only smile helplessly.

Luo Qinghan did not indulge his daughter this time. His face turned dark and he shouted loudly, "Do you have ears? Didn't I hear what I said?"

Luo Sinan turned his head and made a face at Luo Qinghan, stretched out his little tongue to show his dissatisfaction, then glared at Li Hu who was lying on the ground with a hatred, kicked him again without any sense, and then he left with a shake.

There was a stream in the valley, and Tieying washed away the blood on her face and beard with the cold stream water. Li Hu squatted beside him to help him, but his heart felt cold, because Luo Qinghan was standing behind him, staring at him all the time, making him feel as if he was on his back, and he was worried. Tieying was very calm and seemed not worried at all.

Washed and Tieying sat on the grass with Li Hu's support. Luo Qinghan sat cross-legged across from the two and asked, "After the death of King Han, have you been hiding on the mountain?"

"Occasionally, I also went down the mountain and knew that the banner of the rebel army had not fallen." Tieying sighed, "The King of Han knew that you were still carrying the banner and going one after another, and he would definitely feel relieved."

"Since you know that the flag has not fallen, why don't you come to us all the time?"

"I'm disabled, no, and... "Tie Ying glanced at Li Hu, with a sad face, "The King of Han ordered the orphan to entrust him to fulfill his promise and raise him..."

"Do you know what he means to us?" Luo Qinghan pointed at Li Hu with a cold expression. "He is the son of the king. With him, the rebels from all walks of life in Liaodong can form alliances and join forces to join forces."

"The King of Han died, the army was defeated, and the great cause of restoring Han was a thing of the past, and his existence was meaningless." Tie Ying seemed to hear something from Luo Qinghan's words, and his expression suddenly became very decisive, "I want to take him back to the mountain."

Luo Qinghan slowly narrowed his eyes, and the flesh on his cheeks shook slightly, obviously he was really angry, "Just now, you knew from Sinan's mouth that I was Luo Qinghan, but you still didn't want to reveal your identity. Until I want to kill you and force you to a dead end, you told the truth. What do you mean? What are you worried about? Is his life important or our great cause important? Over the years, we have died thousands of brothers. Why did they die? Do you want them to die in vain?"

"I said that his existence has no meaning and no value to Daye. I want to go back to the mountain, right away..." Tieying held Li Hu's shoulder with his right hand, "Child, get up, let's go home."

Li Hu couldn't understand it, in the clouds and mountains, but he knew that all this was the solution that Tie Ying thought for life. Now that Tie Ying said she was leaving, of course she couldn't hesitate. If his fake son of the king was seen through by Luo Qinghan, then his and his uncle's heads would be gone. He hurriedly helped Tie Ying up, and Luo Qinghan also stood up.

"You don't have to say this." Luo Qinghan sneered, "Now I have to say it. If you insist on going back, I will kill you and peel off your skin. With your skin, I will do some evidence and the identity of the Son of the King will be confirmed."

Tieying changed color in shock and couldn't speak for a long time.

Li Hu was extremely hungry and swallowed voraciously.

Tieying was worried, and after eating a few bites, he lost his appetite. He drank chewed with wine bags and sighed from time to time.

"Uncle, who is Li Hong?" Li Hu couldn't help but feel curious in his heart when he saw that there was no one around and asked carefully.

Tieying was silent for a long time and said slowly: "There is a legend that has been circulating for a long time..."

Laojun should rule, Li Hong should come out, the king ruled the world, and the world would be happy. Laojun is Taishang Laojun. Taishang Laojun has countless transformations, one of which is called Li Hong. Whenever the world is in chaos, Li Hong will come to the world. Governing the world with the king's way will bring peace and the people will enjoy happiness.

More than a decade ago, Li Hong arrived in Liaodong, and in the name of preaching, he made friends with heroes from all walks of life and plotted to restore the Han Dynasty. Six years ago, Li Hong gathered 200,000 troops in Hulichuan to raise the flag of the uprising, claiming to be the King of Han. However, just one year later, the uprising failed. Li Hong was captured alive by the Liao army and was punished by the five horses. The remains of the bodies were hung on the five capital towers respectively.

"Li Hong is the King of Han of the uprising army, and I and seven other brothers are his personal bodyguards. When the Liao army surrounded us, three brothers and I followed the order of the King of Han to break through with his son. As a result, except for me, the rest of the brothers died, and the King of Han's son was also dead." Tie Ying sighed, "I am sorry for him because I have to bear the King of Han's trust."

Li Hu suddenly realized that Li Hong was the leader of the rebel army. No wonder Tieying just mentioned his name, and everyone respected him as a god.

"His son has the same name as me, and he is also called Li Hu?"

"No." Tieying said, "It has always been a secret that he has a son. Few people know it. As for what his son is and what he looks like, even fewer people know it."

"Does Luo Qinghan know?" Li Hu asked worriedly.

"He is not someone around Han Wang, so he will definitely not know."

Tie Ying's words relieved Li Hu, but judging from Luo Qinghan's words just now, Tie Ying's expedient not only failed to help the two get rid of danger, but instead brought greater trouble.

"Uncle, what should we do now? Can we still escape?"

Tieying smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Li Hu's heart suddenly became cold, "Can I still find my father?"

"Of course I have to find it." Tieying looked at Li Hu, hesitated for a long time before saying, "I think it's difficult to find your father with us, and we need to change our method."

"What's the solution?" Li Hu asked impatiently.

"It's too difficult for us to find your father, like finding a needle in a haystack." Tieying said, "But if one day you have a reputation and everyone in the world knows you and knows that you are Li Hu from the mountains, your father will come to you, right?"

Li Hu nodded, but the expression on his face was very frustrated. This method was so difficult that it was no less than looking for a needle in the sea. He was an unknown person, not very old, lacked knowledge, and poor martial arts skills. Why did he be famous all over the world? This was just a daydream.

Tieying forced a smile, "Do you think it's difficult? Actually, it's not too difficult. Now you have a chance."

Li Hu immediately thought of Tieying's purpose. He wanted to continue to pretend to be Li Hong's son, be the son of the king, and stay in the rebel army to carry the banner. "Uncle, if I fail, will I be dismembered by the five horses?"

Tieying had no expression on his face and said nothing.

Li Hu couldn't eat it anymore, so he stared blankly at the lamb legs in his hand, his mind was in chaos.

Are there any choice now? Luo Qinghan has already said nothing. If you don’t do it, you will be chopped off your head. If you do it, it is better to stay with the rebels. After all, it is better to be separated from the rebels. After all, it is a matter of the future, and the future is still far away. He and his uncle still have a chance to escape.

"Uncle, I'll listen to you and leave a big banner."

Notes:

Li Hong Uprising:

"Li Hong" is derived from Taoism and is often used by farmers in uprising. Liu Xie's "Theory of the Destruction of Misfortune" has the saying "Zhang Jiao Li Hong, poisoning the Han Ji". "Laojun's Song of Reciting the Commandments" says: "But it is said that Laojun should be governed, Li Hong should come out, and there are many people who return to Taoism in the world, and those who call it Li Hong every year." The Jin Dynasty and the Later Zhao and the Later Qin Dynasty of the Sixteen Kingdoms had peasant uprisings called Li Hong. In the peasant war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Tang Bi, a man from Fufeng, gathered 100,000 people to revolt, and also "recommend Li Hong as the emperor". Li Hong's title was mostly to use Taoism's prophecy to show that "respond to prophecy and be king."

In April 1113, in Liaodong, the Liao Dynasty, there were uprisingers named "Li Hong" who "gathered people with the left path" and "responded to prophecy and became king", with a huge scale. The Liao army arrested the uprising leader known as Li Hong, "dismembered" and executed with torture, and "dismembered the dismembered corpses" and "disgraced the five capitals".

Why did Li Hong's name have such great appeal? It turned out that it was the Taoist books published in the Wei and Jin Dynasties that promoted Li Hong as the pseudonym for the descendants of the Taishang Laojun. For example, "Laojun's Changes and Wuji Sutra": "Laojun's Changes and Body Shapes comes from Hu's true scriptures,...

Hu'er was relieved of the Daoqi and was reborn in the Western Han Dynasty at any time. Muzi was named Gongkou and lived in Chengdu Palace in Shu County. "The "Taishang Dongyuan Divine Mantra Sutra" called him the Zhenjun, saying that "The True Lord is Muzi Gongkou, and the king governs the world, and the world is very happy." "Muzi Gongkou" is a common method of decomposition among the people. "Muzi" is combined into "Li", and "Bongkou" is combined into "Hong", saying that King Li Hong governs the world, and the world will be peaceful and the people will enjoy great joy.
