Jin Mingzhao brought Helan Jinying back to Pingzhou City where the Northern Army headquarters was located.

Helan Jinying thought that something unexpected would happen to him, so he kept looking for opportunities to escape, causing complaints from the Pingzhou military department.But he didn't expect that it was Da Yu's military doctor who appeared in front of him.

He had a severe sprain on his foot, and he lay in the military headquarters of Pingzhou City for half a month before he could barely get off the ground.

During these two weeks, Jin Mingzhao came to visit him every few days, sometimes to ask him about his recovery, and sometimes with a small drink and a side dish, as if he wanted to chat with him.

Helan Jinying didn't understand what kind of medicine Jin Mingzhao was selling in his gourd. After much deliberation, there was only one possibility: this person wanted to extract Beirong secrets from himself.He felt a little grateful for Jin Mingzhao's rescue in his heart, and told his identity frankly: he was a handyman who moved the corpses of the Beirong army, an insignificant person who would be left behind when he retreated.

But to his surprise, what Jin Mingzhao wanted to talk to him was actually about the Gaoxin clan.

The Gaoxin people are aliens living at the junction of the Jinqiang and Beirong kingdoms, very far away from Dayu. When Dayu established the dynasty, King Gaoxin visited Liang Jing and left a congratulatory gift.That happened more than 80 years ago. King Gaoxin and his party consisted of more than [-] people with extraordinary aura. Since then, the legend of Gaoxin people has been spread everywhere in Liangjing: they wear fur cloaks mixed with fiery red and black ink, and speak strange stories. Language, everyone rides a strong black horse with fleshy wings and can fly into the air; King Gaoxin and Princess Gaoxin look like immortals, and they come from the sky, and the tassels in the hands of the princess are like blood and fire. It is an artifact that can disturb the sun and the moon; while everyone in the Gaoxin tribe has long hair, the color is like pure gold, the skin is as fat as honey, and the pupils are shining like jasper on the sun.

Jin Mingzhao naturally knew that there were many fabrications in these legends. What he was interested in was actually the congratulatory gift that King Gao Xin sent to Emperor Dayu: ten sets of Yaolin sets made of fine iron, specially prepared for the horses in Liang Jingtian's prison ; nine kinds of fine iron weapons with different shapes and functions, such as a big sword as tall as a person, a long spear with a tip shaped like a tree branch, and an extremely delicate Gaoxin arrow.

When Jin Mingzhao was awarded the title of General Zhongzhao, Yao Lintao had been sealed in the warehouse of the palace, nine kinds of weapons were also scattered in the homes of the generals, and the last Gaoxin arrow left was given to him by Emperor Dayu.

The shaft of the Gaoxin arrow is hollow, and countless lingering birds are engraved on it, and a few clouds and mist are depicted on the arrow. The tip of the arrow is sharp, showing a perfect and exquisite diamond shape.

Dayu has very few iron mines, and its iron smelting technology is mediocre, and its ironware relies on Chiyan, a subsidiary country in the south.Gao Xin's iron arrow made Jin Mingzhao full of curiosity.What he wanted to know from Helan Jinying was also the secret of these iron arrows.

But to his disappointment, Helan Jinying was a native of Gaoxin who grew up in Beirong.The Gaoxin tribe encountered a catastrophe decades ago, and the whole tribe was wiped out. The survivors were scattered all over the place, and it was difficult to find them.All Helan Jinying's memories of the Gaoxin tribe and the Gaoxin territory come from his father's narration.

Even so, Jin Mingzhao still listened with gusto.

Jin Mingzhao is very different from the middle-aged people of the same age in the Yetai tribe.He still seems to have a part of his childishness, and he is full of interest in the legends of foreign races. When he hears something interesting, he will take out a pen and ink to record it carefully.

"There are two children in my family who like to listen to stories, especially the youngest son. Every time I go back to Liangjing, I will be haunted by him. If I don't tell twenty or thirty border stories, I will never escape." Jin Mingzhao Explain to Helan Jinying, "You told me, and if I go back and tell him, it means that he also knows the past of the Gaoxin tribe."

Helan Jinying thought his youngest son was a strong and strong boy.

"He is very dignified and quiet, and because he is weak and sick, he practiced martial arts very slowly." Jin Mingzhao said with a smile, "Compared with battlefields, war horses or art of war, he prefers to play anywhere without restraint."

Talking about this child, Jin Mingzhao felt a little sad: "He was trapped in Liang Jing and couldn't go out. I need to find some stories for him to satisfy his curiosity."

Helan Jinying thought about it and told many weird legends about Gao Xin.

In return, Jin Mingzhao will chat with him about the scenery of Liang Jing and Fenghu City.Jin Mingzhao was very cautious, he only talked about the food and climate of these two places, and occasionally mentioned the famous Pan Tower in Liang Jing, and the Minzhou Bridge crossed by Yanzixi.

Half a month later, Jin Mingzhao released more than a dozen Beirong prisoners of war the day before he was about to leave for the Northwest Frontier Army.He Lan Jinying asked him why he didn't just kill the matter, Jin Mingzhao smiled: "I let you go back to Beirong today, because I hope that Beirong will also keep the promise of the two countries in the future, and don't kill our prisoners of Dayu."

"With you here, how could it be possible for Da Yu to be breached by Bei Rong?" He Lan Jinying only felt that what he said was high-sounding and unbelievable.

"I will die too." Jin Mingzhao replied, "I am not in the court, but the people in the court are afraid of me. A fierce general is like a tiger. If he cannot be imprisoned or subdued, he will be useless."

What he said was so polite that Helan Jinying didn't understand.

When leaving, Jin Mingzhao's guards gave Helan Jinying some water and food.Although each prisoner of war has these things, Helan Jinying's is richer than others. Jin Mingzhao said with a smile that this is Helan Jinying's reward for telling the story to himself for half a month.

"If you have a chance, you should also visit the territory of the Gaoxin tribe," Jin Mingzhao said as he waved goodbye to him, "That's your hometown."

"...I am from Beirong," Helan Jinying couldn't help but said, "Gaoxin territory is just a strange place to me."

"You are from Gaoxin, and you are also from Beirong." Jin Mingzhao laughed, "Don't you all believe in gods? It turns out that the gods of Chiwangyuan are so overbearing that they stipulate that a person belongs to only one place in his life?"

Helan Jinying didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Why stick to blood status? If you have a horse, you can reach anywhere in the world. Don't you want to visit Liangjing's Swallow Creek and Minzhou Bridge? Liangjing welcomes all guests in the world, as long as you don't bring Go for the purpose of trampling." Jin Mingzhao said, "Have you ever been to Chiyan? It is extremely hot there, there is no winter, and Chiyan people have no chance to see snow in their lives. There is also Qiongzhou across the sea from Dayu, Chiyan Ruohai to the south. Ruohai is boundless, but is there any other land on the other side of the sea?"

Helan Jinying frowned tightly, these were things he had never thought about.

Jin Mingzhao said with a smile: "Forget it, these are just chats between me and my children. Just listen to it as a joke. I used to think that people in Gaoxin should have lofty aspirations, but I didn't expect you to be willing to be a dull horse in Beirong .Let's go, we should never see each other again."

"Yes, I will." Helan Jinying said suddenly, "I want to be a general. General Jin, if you don't kill me here today, you will regret it in the future."

Jin Mingzhao laughed loudly: "Then let's meet again on the battlefield in the future."

He changed the subject, revealing a trace of cold and murderous look: "People from Gaoxin, if one day comes, I will definitely collect the corpse for you with my own hands."

***

The forest is extremely quiet, only the whistling of the wind.A wind chime made of bones hung on the tent door, making a clumsy sound.After He Lansone finished speaking, Jin Yan was just in a daze.

Jin Mingzhao rarely goes home once a year, and he and his sister really like listening to his stories.He was still young at that time, and he didn't know what war was going on outside, and who his father had fought with, but he clearly remembered that one year when Jin Mingzhao came home, for some reason, all he talked about was a man named Gao Xin's alien race.

At that time, he learned for the first time that the black arrows that his father regarded as a treasure at home turned out to be Gaoxin arrows.He also understands that the Gaoxin people regard the deer as their god, and they firmly believe that the wind is the freest thing on the land.The Gaoxin people live at the westernmost end of the Kudulin Mountains. The sacred mountain is called Blood Wolf Mountain, and it is a towering mountain mixed with red and black.He also knew that the Gorcinians were good at smelting iron, and could make the hardest and sharpest weapons.

It turned out that everything was heard from Helan Jinying.

Jin Yan looked into He Lansone's eyes, and there was a trace of green in his eyes, which reminded him suddenly of the emerald green ribbon tied around his mother's waist.

The pain hit instantly.Jin Yan started to cry, completely forgot Bai Ni's advice, and also forgot where he was.

Various fates in the dark made him suddenly relax himself in this lonely land.He crazily thought of Liang Jing, his own home, his parents, sister and brother-in-law, Bai Ni, Mang Yunqi, and all the joys and sorrows he had experienced in the past ten years.

He cried completely out of control, and He Lansone was at a loss.Finding that he was powerless to stop Jin Yan from crying, He Lansone simply sat beside him, continued to eat jerky silently, and quickly stuffed a piece of jerky into Jin Yan's mouth when Jin Yan was not prepared.

Jin Yan: "... Huh?"

He Lansone: "Continue when you are full, so you have strength."

Jin Yan was sobbing while chewing the jerky, he was ashamed of crying just now.This is in Yetai, on someone else's territory; but when he looked up and saw He Lansone and another piece of jerky handed over through tears, his heart was completely relaxed.

At least for now, it's safe here.

Jin Yan wiped his eyes with a fox fur, and said vaguely: "...The ones from Hundaer's are more delicious."

He Lansone: "...Really?"

Jin Yan suddenly remembered that he should try his best to be as good as possible at this moment in exchange for He Lansone's trust and sympathy, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed secretly: once he slacked off, he said the wrong thing again.

He Lansone: "If you like it, I'll go to his house and steal some for you later."

Jin Yan: "..."

He Lansone made a gesture to jump down: "I'll go now."

Jin Yan panicked and held him down: "Don't!"

The tent was narrow, and He Lansone was pushed hard by him, and fell on his back on the haystack. Jin Yan sat on his waist and pressed his shoulders, seeing He Lansone smiling.He Lansone laughed heartily because he made Jin Yan lose his composure, and suddenly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.

Jin Yan has lost a lot of weight recently, but his face is still very soft when rubbed.The two were silent for a moment, but there was a shock just now, the snow on the top of the tree shattered, fell from the hole on the top of the tent, and fell sporadically on their shoulders.

"Brother will scare you, but he will never harm you. Tianjun wants to kill you, but it is the elder brother who said that you have a photographic memory and can ask for the map of Liang Jing. He also said that you are weak and afraid of the cold and cannot trek. Tianjun agreed to keep you in Yetai and let him take care of you." He Lansone held his face, "Jin Yan, trust me, don't be afraid of me."

Jin Yan's face suddenly became hot, and he hurriedly pushed away those warm hands and rolled off He Lansone.

The horse barked twice under the tree, and Jin Yan found a new topic: "... Cough, let your horse be called Fei Xiao."

He Lansone rubbed his hair and sat up: "What do you mean?"

Jin Yan: "A horse that can fly into the sky is suitable for the best rider in Yetai."

He Lansone laughed loudly, and the surrounding tall trees trembled.He stopped laughing and said seriously: "I want to be the best archer in Yetai, even the best archer in Beirong. I want to get Langdi from Beirong Tianjun."

Jin Yan has never heard of this name: "Lang Di?"

The author has something to say:

Today, I invite everyone to eat the meat from Hun Daer's house...

...Okay, today I will continue to eat the jerky from Helansone's family.Remember to take care of your teeth later, so they don't fall out.
