Wolf Dysprosium

Not long after Jin Yan fell asleep, he was woken up by Bai Ni.She quickly put on the armor for Jin Ye, and then let him put on the cloak.

Someone approached the tent door with steady steps and a heavy voice: "He Lan Jinying, Centurion of Beirong, please see the proton."

The visitor was eight feet long, tall and strong, with long dark brown hair combed back, sharp eyes, the same as Helan sulfone, black wolf pupils.

Helan Jinying looked at Jin Yan carefully.The young man in front of him stood with his arms folded, his waist straight, his expression calm but somewhat nervous, although he was only in his teens, he showed no sign of timidity.

He has never been on the battlefield, but he already has a soul full of thunder and wind.

He Lan Jinying set his eyes on the felt tent behind Jin Yan and Bai Ni.He didn't want to stare at the boy in front of him while saying these words.

"General Jin Mingzhao was defeated and died in the Battle of Baique Pass half a month ago."

He finished speaking in one breath, and then looked down at Jin Yan after a pause.

Jin Yan didn't have the reaction he expected at all, his eyes were blank, as if he didn't understand.

Helan Jinying was about to repeat when Jin Yan asked, "Where is Mang Yunqi?"

Mang Yunqi is the cavalry of the Northwest Frontier Army. It is an elite trained by the commander Jin Mingzhao. It is so famous that it is almost regarded as the incarnation of Jin Mingzhao.Bai Ni's husband is Mang Yunqi's youngest school lieutenant, and he was also on the battlefield when the Northwest Frontier Army fought against Jin Qiang.

He Lan Jinying replied: "The whole army of Mang Yunqi was wiped out."

Bai Ni shook suddenly.

Jin Yan's eyes were red, and his fingers were tightly clenched in his sleeves to control the trembling of his body.He wanted to speak, the etiquette he had learned since he was a child told him not to be disrespectful in front of Helan Jinying, he should thank him, he should be grateful to Helan Jinying for telling them the sad news so calmly.

But he couldn't say a word, he bit his lower lip tightly, and the smell of blood spread between his teeth.

It wasn't until Helan Jinying left that he lost his strength and knelt down, and Bai Ni hurriedly supported his shoulders.

Jin Yan tightly grasped the leather rug on the soles of his feet, with bruises on the bones on the back of his hands.He didn't dare to cry, didn't dare to ask, but all that hovered in his heart was confusion and doubt.

"Impossible, Daddy and Mang Yunqi, it's impossible for something like this to happen..." He still wanted to comfort Bai Ni in a daze, but when he looked up and saw Bai Ni's expression, all his emotions suddenly collapsed.He threw himself into Bai Ni's arms, hugged her tightly, and finally sobbed.

The bad news of Jin Mingzhao and Mang Yunqi was like a giant hammer. After crying wildly, Jin Yan felt severe pain in his heart and lungs, was in a trance, and even had difficulty breathing.

Mindful of being in a foreign land, Bai Ni strengthened her spirits and told Da Yu's army and accompanying civil servants to be more vigilant, and the horses and vehicles must be strictly guarded.

Jin Yan couldn't sleep, and lost a lot of weight in a few days.He has eaten and slept in the open all the way, and now he is even more depressed.Occasionally falling into a dream, he always saw ruins on the battlefield, entangled by billowing black smoke, bloody eyes.

Although he seemed to be doing as usual, he finally fell ill, burning with fever and drowsy.

***

When I woke up that night, the tent was very quiet.Jin Yan heard the sound of wind outside, got up and called Bai Ni.

No one answered.Jin Yan's mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, and there was a sharp pain in his throat.He drank some water, turned around and saw the folded fox fur beside the pillow.

It was what he gave He Lansone that day.

There were thin bloodstains on the inner lining of the fox fur that could not be washed off. Jin Yan put the fox fur on his body, but couldn't remember when He Lansone came to visit him.When he stepped out of the yurt, a severe fear suddenly appeared in his heart.

"...Bai Ni?!"

Still no response.

He was terrified: the Dayu soldiers who used to guard around the felt tent were nowhere to be seen.The area around the tent was eerily quiet, and there was not a single person from Yetai who patrolled on a daily basis.

Jin Yan hurriedly ran to the location of the convoy, his fear getting stronger and stronger.

Bai Ni disappeared, all Da Yu's soldiers disappeared, and even Da Yu's convoy disappeared without a trace!

Jin Yan suddenly calmed down.Things are so out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong.He pinched his face hard, and the pain reminded him that this was not a dream.

The wind is very strong, the dome is full of stars outside the sky, looking at the snow on the plain.Jin Yan was shaken by the blow, and stood in a daze for a long time at the place where the convoy stopped.

When they walked back to the yurt, Helan Jinying was already waiting inside.Unlike before, this time he was sitting and Jin Yan was standing, and he had no intention of getting up at all.

"Bai Ni has taken away Da Yu's convoy." He Lan Jinying said, "Little General, she doesn't want you anymore."

Without saying a word, Jin Yan walked towards the wooden box where the documents were placed.With a sword pressed against the back of his hand, Helan Jinying said softly: "Don't look for her, she really left, taking your belongings and documents with her."

"Impossible." Jin Yan's voice trembled slightly, but he was not timid, "Even if Bai Ni dies, she will not leave me."

Helan Jinying: "Why are you so sure?"

"She is Mang Yunqi, the first female general of Da Yu." Jin Yan looked at Helan Jinying. The young man in front of him was the same as He Lansone, with a pair of thick black and green wolf pupils. "Protect!" Me, send me to Beidu, this is the military order Bai Ni received. She will not disobey the military order."

He took a deep breath and said louder: "Besides, Sister Bai Ni is like my family! If He Lansone is in trouble, will you abandon him and go away?"

Helan Jinying: "What if the military order she received didn't protect you all the way?"

Jin Yan couldn't help being taken aback.

"What if Emperor Dayu only asks her to send you to Yetai, and only asks her to ensure that you can fall into the hands of my Northern Army general?" Helan Jinying smiled lowly, "Proton, you are a proton. Why is Dayu so Many princes, Beirong Tianjun doesn't want anyone, but you? You are only Jin Mingzhao's son, what qualifications do you have to represent Da Yu to Beirong as a hostage?"

Jin Yan's heart was shaken, and he remained silent for a long time.What Helan Jinying asked was precisely what he was confused about.

When the news came that Da Yu had chosen him as a hostage, his father was not in Liang Jing, and his mother was terrified and confused. The imperial guards hurriedly took Jin Yan to the palace, and he never returned home after that.

During the time he lived in the palace, he had never seen any of those people who were kind to him in the past.

And from entering the palace to leaving the country, it took only ten days.It was too fast, he was almost forcibly thrown into this icy and snowy Beirong, and he was not even able to say goodbye to his mother. All the warm clothes and his favorite food and habits were all brought by Bai Ni.

Thinking of his mother, Jin Yan felt another burst of suffocating pain.Did father know that he was chosen as a proton and sent to Beirong?He really died?Is Mang Yunqi really wiped out?Where is mother?What about mother?Although she was the first imperial concubine, she was not close to Emperor Dayu.According to Bai Ni, in order to ask the officials to let him go, his mother knelt outside the Empress Dowager's Cixuan Hall for two days and two nights, but he was still pushed onto the convoy to Beirong.

"I collected your father's body." Helan Jinying said suddenly.

Jin Yan stared at him fiercely, the eyes that were as bright as black pearls gradually became steamy, and the eye sockets were as red as blood.

At this moment, amidst the chaos in front of him, he firmly grasped a thread.

"You are a general of Beirong!" He asked sharply, "General of Beirong, why did you appear at the place where Jin Qiang and Da Yu fought!"

Helan Jinying stood up solemnly, his eyes were sharp when he bowed his head, and there was a hint of sarcasm: "What do you think?"

Jin Yan was dizzy, he was still suffering from a high fever, and Bai Ni was not by his side, the only remaining sanity made him hold himself up, not daring to fall down.

General Zhongzhao Jin Mingzhao is Da Yu's sharpest spear, Bei Rong fears him, Jin Qiang fears him... Da Yu's royal family also fears him.

A conspiracy to surround Jin Mingzhao and Mang Yunqi!

"Tianjun is merciful, he won't kill you." Helan Jinying lifted the felt curtain without looking back, "If the people of Dayu knew that General Zhongzhao's son was going to be a slave to the Beirong people, what would they think?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a thud behind him, and Jin Yan had already passed out on the ground.

***

The high fever made Jin Yan confused, he seemed to escape into a long and boundless dream, the streets and alleys of Liang Jing for a while, and the endless dark night for a while.He called out to Bai Ni, only Goshawk circled above his head with wide open blood red eyes, but no one responded.

A pair of small, very soft hands stroked his forehead, and timidly spoke Beirong dialect that he could not understand.Dried pears were stuffed into his mouth, and they were hastily snatched away.

White sparrows close overcast, overwhelming snow.Mang Yunqi's corpses were spread all over the ground, and he stood on the mountain of corpses, hissing out the names of all the Mangyun knight soldiers he remembered.

He saw Bai Ni riding her horse farther and farther, but he couldn't catch up.

There was severe pain in his chest and shortness of breath. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a strange tent with a bitter taste of medicine in his mouth.On a piece of oil paper next to the pillow, there are half a lion candy and a few slices of dried pears.

The yurt is not big, the furnishings are messy, and there is a strong and strange smell of camellia oleifera mixed with sheep dung.Jin Yan knew that this was the yurt of He Lansone's family.He forced himself to get out of bed, put on a fox fur and went out.

Yetai has a small population, and the camp is not big.He Lansone's home was on the edge of Yetai, and there were soldiers patrolling in twos and threes in the battalion at this time, and they were not very careful.Jin Yan crouched and crawled out for a while, seeing that no one was paying attention, he hurriedly got up and ran in the direction of Chi Wangyuan.

At this time, in General Hu's tent, Helan Jinying had just prepared himself a bowl of camellia oleifera.

"You were an ordinary soldier when you left, and you are already a centurion when you come back." General Tiger asked while eating, "What merit did you do?"

Helan Jinying didn't answer.

"Then Jin Qiang was fighting with Dayu, why did our Bei Rong go all the way to Baiqueguan to join in the fun?" General Hu asked again, "I heard that you were the one who reported to the army? What's going on?"

Helan Jinying shook his head and just laughed.

"You are really a copper pot that can't be pried open... By the way, since you have become a centurion, then don't live in that broken felt tent. I will arrange a new tent and cattle and horses for you." General Tiger got used to his silence, "You three brothers and sisters, you can't do without slaves, I'll share how many of you."

"No need." Helan Jinying finally said, "We have slaves."

General Tiger was surprised: "Where did it come from? Can the identity be registered?"

"No need to register." Helan Jinying tore off a piece of lamb leg, and laughed while eating, "It's that big proton."

Seeing that he was eating happily, General Hu hesitated for a long time before asking: "I heard that Tianjun originally wanted to kill the big Yu proton, but then he changed his mind after whispering something to you, and left him to live as a Beirong." slave?"

Helan Jinying: "Yes."

General Tiger looked at him eagerly.

Helan Jinying: "Why don't you eat it? This leg of lamb is very good."

General Tiger was so angry that he raised the sheep bone in his hand and wanted to hit someone: "You child, can't you speak more clearly?"

"Since I don't say anything, it's something that cannot be said." Helan Jinying said seriously, "Heavenly Lord has his own purpose in entrusting this child to me."

General Hu was still uneasy: "But what should we do with it? He used to be a proton, so we just need to take good care of him, but now..."

"Don't worry." Helan Jinying said, "I definitely can't let him live comfortably, but I definitely can't let him die. I have a sense of proportion, this matter has nothing to do with Yetai, I can just take care of it."

General Tiger looked at him, still worried.Helan Jinying dressed casually, her long hair was tied up behind her neck, her appearance was handsome and her expression was unrestrained.Although he grew up watching him since he was a child, General Hu dare not say that he fully understands this young man.

His mind was heavy, but Helan Jinying ate quickly, when the cups and dishes were messed up, someone suddenly came to report: the proton had escaped.

Helan Jinying didn't panic either, grabbed the handkerchief on the table, wiped his mouth and hands, turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, general, that kid has half his life left, and he can't run far. I'm waiting for him to run, he just needs to run away." After this time, you will know that it is absolutely impossible to leave Chiwangyuan alone."

General Hu was so angry that his head was smoking: "It's freezing cold, if he dies! How can he explain to Tianjun if he dies!"

Before the words finished, Helan Jinying had already rushed out.

***

Jin Yan didn't believe Helan Jinying's words.

He watched for a long time at the place where the convoy was stationed last night.The convoy left in another direction, not the way back to Da Yu.There are many trample marks on the snow, and even arrowheads can be touched under the thin snow. There is an unconcealable bloody smell in the snow.

They were attacked, defeated, and the convoy was driven away elsewhere.

But what about Bai Ni?Jin Yan could not find a trace of Bai Ni.

After walking for a while in the direction the convoy left, Jin Yan couldn't hold on, and fell to his knees in the snow.The fine snowflakes fell on him, and were melted by his body temperature in less than an instant, dripping like a profuse sweat.

His limbs were weak, his lungs were hot and painful, and he could not stop coughing.

It is not suitable to escape forcibly now, but if he stays in Yetai for a moment, his fear will increase.Beirong Tianjun does not recognize his identity as a hostage, which shows that Beirong intends to tear up the Pingzhou alliance.If the covenant is broken, Bei Rong may invade Dayu at any time, he cannot stay in Bei Rong, one is not safe, and the other is - mother and sister are still at home, he must go back.

Suddenly there was the sound of whips piercing the sky behind him.Jin Yan hurriedly got up, staggered and ran a few steps forward, his back suddenly hurt, and he fell directly into the snow, unable to get up for a long time.

"Catch the slave!" Hun Da'er laughed loudly, and rode around the fallen Jin Ye with several young men.

Jin Yan was stabbed in the back by an arrow, his whole body was numb, he didn't dare to move, his mouth and nose were covered with snow.

"Is he dead?" Hun Da'er asked.

"Not dead, still panting." Du was a little nervous, "Isn't this Han a proton? How did he become a slave?"

Jin Yan did not know where to generate strength, he raised his upper body and shouted loudly: "I am not a slave!"

"My father said you are a slave, and you are a slave." Hun Da'er laughed again, "It must not be a good thing to hang out with the son of He Lansone."

Jin Yan finally struggled to stand up, he firmly supported his knees to prevent himself from falling down.There is a blurry double image in front of my eyes, only the glare of the sun and the dangling figure of the horse.With a laugh, Whip Shadow came straight to his face. —but the whip didn't fall on him.

Someone stood in front of him, clutching the whip he had snatched from Hun Da'er.

Hun Da'er got up from the ground, jumped up and shouted: "He Lansone, how dare you kick me! This is a slave of Yetai! If you haven't returned to the master, whoever finds it first will own it!"

He Lansone held the whip in one hand, and did not retreat half a step: "Don't touch him."

The author has something to say:

In the previous chapter:

"Officials" - emperors; "sages" - queens; "diji" - princesses.

"Cherry Fried" - a famous delicacy in the Song Dynasty. The pitted cherries are crushed and pressed into a cake shape. When eating, add some honey, which is called Cherry Fried.If you want to eat more elegantly, you can boil water with plums, fry cherries in plum water, and add nectar.This fried cherry is actually a very beautiful dessert.In the Song Dynasty, those who had the conditions could make it by themselves, and there were also shops selling it on the street.The nectar that Jin Yan ordered at home is a special sweet-scented osmanthus nectar, which has a different taste.
