Wolf Dysprosium

"They said you were good-looking." He Lansone shared the pancake with him and ate it with open mouth. "I said good-looking is good-looking, but you have a bad temper."

Jin Yan: "... Am I bad-tempered?"

"It's not bad to lie to me often?"

Jin Yan was speechless, chewing on the pancake.The pancake tasted good, he ate two at a stretch, but still felt it wasn't enough, so he and He Lansone waited in front of the pancake stand lined with a long queue.

He Lansone was very familiar with the Lantern Festival, and kept talking to Jin Yan, introducing things on the Lantern Festival.Jin Yan had never heard him say so many words and show such a happy expression.He knew that he laughed too, because he was infected by Helansone and this Lantern Festival.

Perhaps because Beirong people really rarely see such a thin and fair young man as him, there are bold Beirong girls who talk to him and give him gifts.Jin Yan took two hats and a belt, He Lansone reminded him: "This means you have to marry three wives."

The woman selling honey fruit brought a child, who liked Jin Yan, and stuffed a half-gnawed candied hawthorn into his hand.It's not good for Jin Yan not to accept it, and it's not good to accept it, so he just handed it to He Lansone.Helan sulfone didn't know how to put it in, so he ate it as soon as he took it.

Jin Yan laughed, and He Lansone didn't know what he was laughing at, but seeing Jin Yan happy, he was happy too.

He doesn't think it's cold in the north, and the lantern festivals, fire dragons, pancakes and buskers that he's used to seeing are all interesting again.After thinking about it, it's all because I really like the surprise and happiness that Jin Yan showed this night.He hasn't seen Jin Yan laughing like this for a long time.

Waiting for He Lansone to get out of the crowd holding the pancakes, but he didn't see Waiting Jin Yan.He searched for a while holding the pancake, and found Jin Yan standing blankly in a corner.

He Lansone ran towards him, and found a young man in ragged clothes lying behind Jin Yan, about twenty, curled up in a corner and trembling.

"He is from Da Yu." Jin Yan said, "I was bullied, but I saved him."

He Lansone: "...you save him?"

He looked suspiciously at Jin Yan, then at the young man.The young man got up and knelt down to He Lansone and Jin Yan without saying a word.

He Lansone: "Is he a slave?" He pulled the young man up and checked his arm.Once the slaves of Beirong were registered, they would have imprints on their arms, and the imprints of some nobles would also have surnames and other marks, but the young men's arms were smooth and there were no scars.

"Your Majesty is not a slave." The young man spoke politely, "I went to Beijing with my father to do business last autumn. On the way, I encountered horse thieves, and the caravan killed or injured me. I was penniless and could only live by begging in the city of Beijing."

He Lansone was about to ask again, but Jin Yan tugged at his sleeve: "Can you take him in? It's like taking in Ruan Buqi."

He Lansone: "..."

Jin Yan never made any request to him, so He Lansone couldn't think of a reason to refuse for a while.

Not only that, but he quickly found a reason to convince himself to meet Jin Yan's request: What's the point of taking in a big beggar?His elder brother is now a general of the Beibei army who has made military achievements. The military government even gave some rewards to the family members in advance, just to take in a beggar... But He Lansone felt a little guilty immediately, he knew that He Lan Jinying would not let himself do it without permission. make a decision.

Jin Yan looked at the young man and murmured, "It's so pitiful."

He Lansone: "...take him back."

The three of them finished watching the lanterns ahead of schedule, and on the way back, Jin Yan even divided two of his pork pancreas pancakes with the young man.The young man was polite and respectful, and he started eating after thanking Jin Yan and He Lansone.He called himself Chen Shuang, he was from Dayu Bishan City, he was doing small business with his father, now that the caravan was scattered, he was considered lonely.

Back in the mansion, he ran into Balonger head-on.When Balonger saw the strange young man, he immediately became vigilant: "What!"

After He Lansone explained clearly, Balonger looked embarrassed and pulled him aside to elaborate.

Helan Jinying's promotion from centurion to general this time has an element of luck in it: he originally fought with General Tiger, but was transferred to another general that day.Not long after the start of the battle, the general was assassinated by an arrow from the Da Yu Northern Army's archers. He Lan Jinying rode on the general's horse, pretended to be the general, and gave orders, leading the rest of the army to forcibly break through the Bishan City checkpoint.He established the morale of the Beirong army, and he was decisive and straightforward. The commander was very satisfied, and immediately wrote a military letter and sent it back to Beidu, requesting an exceptional promotion of Helan Jinying.

"If it weren't for Tianjun's good impression of your brother, this meritorious service would never have been obtained." Ba Longer did not hide it, "But General He Lan is the first foreign general of Beirong in so many years. The ministers and generals in the hall have a lot of opinions. You already have two big slaves, Jin Yan and Ruan Buqi, in your family, and now you have one more, this is not acceptable."

He Lansone corrected: "Chen Shuang is not a slave, but a homeless man I have taken in temporarily."

Balonger: "This...there is no difference!"

He Lansone: "There is a big difference. When we bought Ruan Buqi, we did treat her as slaves, but now Ruan Buqi is Zhuo Zhuo's friend, so you can't yell at her anymore."

Balonger was taken aback: "By the way, how did you buy Ruan Buqi?"

Meeting Ruan Buqi was really an accident.At that time, the three brothers and sisters of He Lan's family were playing in Beidu. When they were eating and drinking, there was a commotion at the entrance of the tavern. Then someone pushed the door and rushed in, hugging the thigh of He Lansone who was closest to the door.

The skinny girl who called for help was covered in dust, her hair had been cut out of shape, her arm was still exposed in the cold, and she hugged Helansone tightly and shivered.

Another big man rushed in outside the door, trying to drag the girl out.He was a human trafficker, and he picked up such a speechless little Han beggar on the road, and knowing that many dignitaries in Beijing like to torture young and weak Han girls, he simply brought them here to sell.Unexpectedly, the girl ran away before the business opened.

He Lan Jinying didn't want to meddle in this business, and urged He Lansone to return the girl to the big man.But He Lansone turned around and begged him to pay for it, saying that he would find a playmate for Jin Yan.

He Lansone didn't want to explain too much to Balonger, so he used He Lan Jinying's name and ended the conversation with "If there is anything wrong, we will talk about it when the eldest brother comes back."

On the other side, Jin Yan took Chen Shuang to change clothes in He Lansone's room.

"Are you really from Bishan City? Is your family still there?" he asked

Chen Shuang smiled: "Those just now were made up."

Jin Yan searched for a while and found that his clothes were not suitable for Chen Shuang. Chen Shuang was about the same size as He Lansone, so he found two old clothes of He Lansone.Chen Shuang looked full of manners. Seeing Jin Yan standing in the room and not leaving, he was a little shy, turned to the corner and turned his back to Jin Yan.

"Are you from Mingyetang too?" Jin Yan asked.

"Yes, but I have been in Mingye Hall for about ten years, which is not too long." Chen Shuang replied.

"After I returned to Liangjing from Fenghu City, I have been unable to go out of the city." Jin Yan thought for a while, "I heard that the Mingye hall is rich and powerful, and the main hall is particularly grand?"

Chen Shuang smiled and said, "Yes, you must go and see it if you have the chance."

He changed his clothes, listened carefully to the movement outside the door, pulled Jin Yan and whispered: "The secret letter received last night, Da Yu and Bei Rong have decided to cease fighting, the Northern Army will only be on defense, and the Bei Rong army will no longer attack .Now the imperial court is discussing how to draw the boundary line with Beirong, and how to sign the land-dividing alliance."

"Where to sign?"

"Bishan City."

Jin Yan knew in his heart that Bishan City was next to the Lie Xing River, and it was the closest city to the Lie Xing River.Da Yu chose this place because it was convenient, and Bei Rong chose this place, which shows that they have nothing to fear.

Jin Yan said in a low voice: "Once this covenant is signed, I am afraid that Da Yu will be more passive. The Jinqiang on the northwest border has not subsided, and so many lands will be cut off in the north. It is difficult to sign this covenant unless the Jinqiang can be restrained at the same time." With Beirong."

Chen Shuang stared at him for a long time before laughing and said, "We all thought that you would be sad and angry when you heard about Da Yu. But you adapted quickly."

"...If you were in a place like Beirong and stayed alone for a few months, you would become like me." Jin Yan's eyes were calm, "You will know that self-pity is useless, and there is no use in worrying and suffering." Any action, and only thought and action, can save a man from indulging in pain."

Chen Shuang showed surprise, and nodded after a long time.

However, Jin Ye had no idea how to act.He was in Beirong, and Yue Lianlou and others had to inform him of Da Yu's situation; in other words, even if he was in Liang Jing, he could do nothing about it: he was not from the imperial court and had no fame, although he was Jin Mingzhao's child, But without any meritorious status, no one will listen to him.

Balonger arranged for Chen Shuang to live in the servant's room, and Ruan Buqi and Zhuo Zhuo were surprised when they saw Chen Shuang.Ruan Buqi stood there blankly looking him up and down, Zhuo Zhuo was a little shy, and asked him his name in the Chinese characters he had learned.

Chen Shuang had a good temper, he spoke and acted calmly, without any flattery or cowardice, while Hun Da'er and Du had never seen such a big man, so they didn't dare to provoke him.He often stays with Jin Yan. Although He Lansong has doubts about Chen Shuang, seeing Jin Yan happy, he is not easy to stop him.

Instead, Chen Shuang quietly said to Jin Yan: "He Lansone is a good person. You need to make him trust you more, so that we can do things more conveniently. His eldest brother is He Lan Jinying, and only by making good use of He Lansone can he find Bai Ni's clues, he can even guarantee you to go back to Dayu safely."

Jin Yan really didn't want to talk more about this topic with him.

He was so preoccupied that he suffered from insomnia for several days.In He Lansone's room, besides his own bed, there is also a narrow couch by the window, which is for people to lie down and enjoy the scenery.Early spring was still frighteningly cold, and there were no good views, so Jin Yan took this place as a bed.He Lansone knew that he couldn't sleep at night and always tossed and turned.

He Lansone also found that he began to draw some messy things on the paper, with thick ink lines like a black dragon or a river.If asked, Jin Yan said that he was studying how to make fire dragons.He stippled many circles on the ink line, with the heaviest stroke at the beginning of the stroke.

On this day, Jin Yan ate very little and talked very little, and suddenly stopped while doing his work, frowning and thinking about something.He Lansone sometimes looked at him more than once, feeling strange in his heart.

Before going to bed, Jin Yan seized an opportunity to talk to Chen Shuang alone: ​​"You live closest to the back door, open the back door for me at night."

Chen Shuang: "Yes. What are you going to do?"

"Go to Yue Lianlou." Jin Yan's black eyes sparkled with excitement, "I found a way to restrain Bei Rong and Jin Qiang at the same time."

***

After everyone fell asleep, Jin Ye quietly climbed out of the window and slipped out of the house through the back door.Chen Shuang walked with him, and Jin Yan found that Chen Shuang's martial arts hadn't reached the level of Yue Lianlou, at least not yet melted into water.But with his light steps and dexterous posture, he always found a way out in impossible places, leading Jin Yan to avoid the crowds patrolling the streets and heading back to the courtyard of his heart.

"I have only practiced the second level of the six transformations of Huachun, 'Wind Reporting Willow'." Chen Shuang explained, "'Wind Reporting Willow' is the foundation of Ming Yetang's lightness kung fu. I...cough, I practiced well .”

Jin Yan liked his somewhat complacent modesty very much.

Chen Shuang hugged him over the courtyard wall and landed in the backyard of Huixin courtyard.Both of them were well-dressed, so they put on the posture of guests and walked upstairs gracefully.

Yue Lianlou usually boarded in Zhu Ye's room, but no one answered in the room.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ahead and look for it." Chen Shuang left along the steps.

Jin Yan squatted in a hidden corner and waited, broke off a flower branch beside him, and continued to draw his plan on the ground.

A voice came from above the head: "Do you like Huixinyuan so much?"

Jin Yan was shocked when he heard the words, and when he turned around, he saw He Lansone standing on the railing of the corridor with both feet, looking at him with a cold expression and frowning.

Brother will come home tomorrow!
