Wolf Dysprosium

The convoy finally stopped at the post station.The entourage of the convoy went to the station one after another, asking about hot water, beds and so on.These Jinqiang people all spoke fluent Beirong dialect, and their words and deeds were standardized and polite. The people at the post station led the horses and camels, and led the caravan to the backyard.

Yue Lianlou also came out to watch the fun, he looked left and right, reached out and tapped Jin Yan's shoulder: "Little General, what do you see?"

These people have a very obvious marching spirit, their backs are straight when they walk and sit, and their hands are habitually placed on the handle of the knife. When the leader asked the postman about the quality of the horse grass, the rest of them evenly surrounded him intentionally or unconsciously. Standing aside, he looked around very cautiously.One or two swept past the stable where the three of Jin Yan were staying, their eyes as calm as a knife.

"They're all soldiers." Jin Yan said in a low voice, "Postures can't fool anyone."

"More than that." Yue Lianlou leaned into his ear to speak, and He Lansone also squeezed close to the ground, "That flag is not something that ordinary Jinqiang people can use. Have you seen the golden thread? Gold characters, brocade border , or purple, which is one of the symbols of the Jinqiang nobility."

He earns money by dancing in Huixin Courtyard. People from various ethnic groups and countries are mixed in the northern capital. There are also many Jinqiang nobles who came to see him and Zhu Ye. Yue Lianlou became friends with several of them and learned about many Jinqiang nobles. .

Soon someone came to drive away the idlers, and the three of them were driven back to the room. Yue Lianlou was full of curiosity and lay on the window to look out.The three asked for a room, Jin Yan and He Lansong slept on the floor, and Yue Lianlou slept on the bed.He looked in the window for a while, and said to the two people behind him without looking back: "Oh, there is a woman with a big belly, supported by many people. What are these people with a family going to the north doing? It's not business... ..."

There were too few things that aroused his interest along the way, and Yue Lianlou was so excited that he lost sleepiness.

He Lansone asked Jin Yan: "Isn't he here to protect you?"

Jin Yan: "So he has to sleep on the bed. He sleeps on the floor, his back hurts, and he can't even dance a sword."

At this time, He Lansone had already fully understood the essence of Yue Lianlou, and knew how to use the big words he heard from Zhuo Zhuo: "He is shitting."

The next day, the three of them were about to go out, but they found that there were Jinqiang people standing guard at the gate of the post station, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.When the three of them went downstairs, they saw someone from the Jin Qiang team eating and drinking in the inn. One of them was a burly figure, occupying a table by himself, while the rest were waiting to respect him. The inn was surprisingly quiet, bustling with more than thirty people Among them, no one made a sound.

That middle-aged man must be the team leader.He Lansone turned back and walked towards the post station, but was stopped ten steps away from the middle-aged man.

"We have to hurry." He Lansone was not afraid, "Who are you? Why don't you let us go out?"

Jin Yan hurriedly pulled him back, and Yue Lianlou smiled and leaned against the door to eat dried fruit.

The middle-aged man raised his head, both He Lansone and Jin Yan were taken aback.

There are several old wounds on this person's face, the bridge of the nose and eyelids are cut, the whole face seems to be broken and stitched together again, it is eerie and terrifying.His eyes were full of light, he looked up and down He Lansone and Jin Yan, and smiled for a long time: "Gaoxin people and Dayu people?"

He laughed more ferociously, and Jin Yan's hand suddenly grabbed He Lansone's palm tightly, with such strength that He Lansone felt pain.He thought Jin Yan was afraid, so he quickly hid him behind his back. "Yes." He Lansone admitted their identities, "What's wrong?"

"Are you going to Blood Wolf Mountain or Beidu?"

"Let's go back to the northern capital."

The middle-aged man looked at He Lansone: "...Aren't you a real Gaoxin person?"

He Lansone didn't answer, but raised his head slightly, his eyes arrogant.The middle-aged man seemed to like his unruliness very much, and laughed harder and harder.But when he smiled, the several scars on his face contracted and stretched like twists and turns, and even looking directly at it made people feel sick to their throats.The middle-aged man laughed for a while, and seeing that He Lansone never avoided his gaze, he nodded slowly: "You Gao Xin kid, you are very good." After saying that, he raised his hand to signal everyone to let him go.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes and human voices outside the station.Yue Lianlou has disappeared from the door, and it is unknown where she went.He Lansone took Jin Yan's hand and took him out of the station, only to find that Jin Yan's palms were covered in cold sweat.

"Don't be afraid, we're leaving now." He Lansone turned his head and looked around, "Yuelian Tower..."

"—Helansulfone?!"

With a rough and heroic roar, He Lansone and Jin Yan were shocked at the same time, and before turning their heads, they had already called out the man's name: "Balonger?!"

It was indeed Balonger who rushed over with open arms.He was dressed in jingling armor, and he slapped He Lansone hard on the shoulder: "Finally back!"

There was a line of soldiers at the gate of the station, flags fluttering, and all of them were dressed in silver armor, shining in the sunlight, chic and solemn.The young man in front was wearing a silver battle helmet, and his long thick golden hair was scattered from the battle helmet. The wind blowing fresh grass leaves and flower petals, passing by his beautiful and calm wolf pupils.He looked at He Lansone, lowered his head slightly, seemed to be smiling, and seemed to be relieved.

"Brother." He Lansone suppressed the excitement in his heart. He didn't forget that the reason he left Beidu was "breaking with Helan Jinying because of Zhu Ye's death." He lowered his head, pretending to be regretful and nervous.

Before Helan Jinying said a word, Balonger had already pushed Helansone forward: "General, don't be angry, just come back. You see, he also brought the big slaves with him. He finally You are the Lord."

He Lan Jinying got off the horse, raised his hand and patted He Lansone's head lightly.To outsiders, this meant reconciliation, but He Lansone felt a slight tremor in his elder brother's palm: he was scared and nervous, and he was going all the way from Beidu to Xuelang Mountain. He didn't know how many dangers he would encounter. Did Lansone also encounter all kinds of difficulties, but now seeing his brother standing in front of him safely and securely, all words were superfluous, he smiled at him like a man.

"Come back with us." Helan Jinying said, "I'm here to welcome the Jinqiang envoys."

He and Balonger walked into the inn, and the inside suddenly became lively, with endless greetings and pleasantries.He Lansone and Jin Yan stayed outside, and they couldn't see Yue Lianlou, guessing that he must have been hiding because he was afraid of being recognized by Balonger.There are also many people guarding the Jinqiang convoy in the backyard of the post station, and the house where pregnant women live is even more tightly surrounded. Seeing a raw face approaching, all the soldiers hold their knives vigilantly.

He Lansone and Jin Yan led the horses and left the backyard, whispering: "That man is actually an envoy of Jin Qiang? He even brought a woman with him, what is he going to do?"

Jin Yan didn't answer, he seemed to be absent-minded, and shook his head.He Lansone noticed that his palms were still sweaty: "What's wrong with you?"

At the highest point of the station, the two saw the figure of Yue Lianlou.He packed a small bag of raisins, and smiled at them both while eating.

He Lansone still had many questions in his mind: "Since he is an envoy, why did he choose a man with scars all over his face? Those scars on his face were caused by whips and knives..."

"Stop talking." Jin Yan suddenly whispered, "He is not an ordinary envoy."

The sun rose to the middle of the sky, and the team finally set off in mighty form.Helan Jinying was ordered by King Yunzhou to escort the Jinqiang envoy team into the northern capital.Jinqiang sent envoys to witness the Bishan alliance signed by Beirong and Dayu. Zheweng was very proud of winning all the land in Liexingjiang Jiangbei, and sent several letters. Many countries near Beirong Envoys were sent to participate in the celebration ceremony of Beirong.

He Lansone and Jin Yan also left with the team, and when they learned that He Lansone was Helan Jinying's younger brother, the Jin Qiang envoy smiled ferociously and praised him a few words.

The convoy headed east all the way, but failed to reach the next station at night, so they camped in a safe and warm valley.It was already April, the day was warm, and the night was still a little chilly. Soldiers lit a bonfire to barbecue and dance. The Beirong people and the Jinqiang people also chatted and shared stories about their hometown.

The Jin Qiang envoy took a woman with a big belly. He didn't participate in any activities. He took water and food and returned to the carriage to accompany his wife.

Balonger was eating in Helan Jinying's tent, and said to the two brothers who were drinking in front of him, "But I'm staying in Beijing for a month or two, why bother to bring a woman?"

He Lan Jinying found an excuse to drive Balonger out, and asked He Lansone what happened in the Blood Wolf Mountain.He Lansone said everything, omitting the matter between himself and Jin Yan. When he mentioned that the people of the Nushan tribe still had hatred for Zhe Weng, He Lan Jinying nodded.

During the chaos of the five tribes, too many people died in Nushan.From being able to fight against the Qinglu tribe to being a tribe weaker than Yetai, no one in Nushan can forgive Zheweng.Especially at the end of the war, the Nushan people had already put down their weapons and decided to surrender, but Zhe Weng never let them go.

"Do you want to be King Gaoxin?" Helan Jinying asked.

"Do you?" He Lansone asked back.

Helan Jinying naturally shook his head: "I want to marry Zhu Ye, King Gao Xin cannot marry a goddess, I am wrong."

"Neither do I." He Lansone said, "Let Zhuo Zhuo go."

Helan Jinying couldn't help laughing: "Okay! That's it!"

The two brothers clinked glasses again and again.

He Lansone was drinking when he suddenly remembered something: "Brother, why does the Jinqiang envoy look different from the Jinqiang people? He looks... like someone from Jin Yan's side."

"He is not from Jinqiang." Helan Jinying said in a low voice, "This person's real name is Lei Shizhi, and like Jin Yan, he is born and raised by Da Yu from Liang Jing."

He Lansone was taken aback: "Then how did he become Jin Qiang's envoy?!"

"The envoy is just a name. He is the general of the Jinqiang." Helan Jinying replied, "The one who fought Jin Mingzhao at Baique Pass to the death was Lei Shizhi, who was called 'General Xi' by Jinqiang people."

Outside the camp, Jin Yan was grooming Fei Xiao and his horse.He hadn't named the horse yet, and was thinking about it when he heard undisguised footsteps behind him.

Jin Yan turned his head, and a burly man approached slowly in the dark night. Several thick scars on his face were illuminated by the lights, together with his emotionless and indifferent eyes.

Jin Yan grabbed the saber beside him almost instantly, and stopped in front of him.

"You recognize me?" Lei Shizhi smiled.

Jin Yan replied in a low voice: "I don't recognize you, but I know who you are. In the Northwest Army, there is no one who does not know General Xi."

Lei Shizhi suppressed his smile and nodded. "You look very similar to your father when he was a teenager." His lips twitched, as if he was gritting his teeth, "It's just as annoying."
