Wolf Dysprosium

Thousands of households are covered with lamp shadows, and the cold moon shines on people.

Bishan City stands by the river, the water is noisy, and the small rivers and long streams in the city intertwine, dividing the big city into more than ten pieces.Jin Yan was wearing a coir raincoat, lying on Chen Shuang's back.Chen Shuang's legs were strong, and she didn't slow down while carrying Jin Yan on her back. The two of them almost became a thick black shadow, jumping on the back of Bishan City House.

When You Junshan met with General Xi, He Lansong and He Lan Jinying to discuss important matters, Jin Yan was rushing to meet Cen Rong.

The place where Cen Rong and Grand Master Liang stayed was an outhouse of the city guard of Bishan City, with small buildings and courtyards, every step of the way became a scene.Chen Shuang jumped into the house, and immediately a soldier rushed out from the shadows and asked, "Who is it!"

Chen Shuang said in a low voice: "The son of General Jin Mingzhao, please see the third prince."

The soldiers put away their weapons immediately, apparently having received an order.Several people respectfully ushered Jin Yan into a small courtyard. When saying goodbye, they hesitated and whispered comfortingly: "Little General, you are home."

The small courtyard seemed to be Cen Rong's residence. Under the eaves, there were two maids kneeling and saluting. Jin Yan felt something was wrong and didn't want to go in, so he just wandered around in the courtyard.

Everyone in Da Yu called him "Little General", Jin Yan thought to himself, it seems that this title cannot be lost.

The corners of the yard were full of trees, one of which had half its leaves, and a few red flowers fell on the ground.Jin Yan was taken aback: it was a camellia.

The camellias had obviously been transplanted not long ago, and the soil was still loose, but the climate of Bishan City and the current season were not suitable for planting camellias, and the camellias fell to the ground one by one, leaving nothing but hanging.

When I got up, I heard someone talking outside the courtyard, the voice was very familiar: "Where is You Junshan?"

"Back to Third Prince, Captain You is off duty tonight, he seems to be in a bad mood, and went out to drink."

Cen Rong, who walked into the courtyard, looked up and saw Jin Yan standing beside the camellia.Without saying a word, he strode towards Jin Yan, opened his arms suddenly, and hugged Jin Yan tightly in his arms.

Jin Yan really couldn't adapt to his sudden enthusiasm, he was embarrassed and helpless: "Third Prince."

"Called cousin." Cen Rong said in a muffled voice, "What third prince, you're born."

Jin Yan couldn't help thinking of the things he cheated on him when he was a child, he chuckled secretly, and still responded: "Third Prince."

Cen Rong let him go, pinched his face without any malice, and whispered, "Why are you so thin!"

He dragged Jin Yan into the room, dismissed everyone around him, and even glanced at Chen Shuang.Jin Yan then introduced: "This is Chen Shuang from Mingye Hall, who has been by my side to protect me."

Cen Rong waved Chen Shuang to leave, turned around and smiled at Jin Yan: "Did you guess that I was the one who asked Ming Yetang to look for you?"

"Who else but you?" Jin Yan replied, "Jin Mingzhao's son is very important to the Third Prince."

"No, Jin Yan, you are wrong." Cen Rong led him to sit down at the table, "You are the one who is very important to me."

There are snacks, hot tea and a camellia plant on the table.But Jin Yan could see clearly: the camellia was half wilted.

The two stopped entangled in these useless gossips, and talked about what happened after parting.

It was Grand Master Liang who signed the Pingzhou Alliance with Bei Rong that day. Bei Rong insisted on taking Jin Yi as a hostage, but Grand Master Liang agreed without reporting to Emperor Renzheng.When he returned to Liang Jing with the Pingzhou League, everything had become a fait accompli, and Emperor Renzheng gave Liang Anchong a severe reprimand and cut his salary for half a year.

"Daddy didn't go to see you because he felt ashamed. He is the emperor, so how can he apologize to his servants? I wanted to find you on his behalf, but during the month you were in the palace, I was busy dealing with the follow-up of the Pingzhou League. There is no gap in the matter." Cen Rong held Jin Yan's hand, "My good brother, do you blame me?"

"The third prince is serious." Jin Yan smiled, "Your person is busy, Jin Yan understands."

"...I know you're angry, it's right and you should be angry." Cen Rong grabbed his hand and put it on his face, "You hit me."

Jin Yan let out a long sigh, and withdrew his hand: "Okay, I didn't come to see you today to talk about such silly things."

Cen Rong paused, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, since I'm here this time, I will definitely take you back to Liang Jing."

Jin Yan told him that he had received information from the Goddess of the Gaoxin Tribe about the mountain path in the Yinglong Mountains, and he could leave the mountain path and cross the Liexing River.But Cen Rong disagreed.When Da Yu's third prince appeared in Bishan, Jin Yan didn't need to take any more devious roads. Cen Rong had his own way to let him follow him and return to Liang Jing in a fair manner.

"The king of Yunzhou brought you here to stimulate us. Jin Mingzhao's son became a slave of the Beirong people. This is a great shame and humiliation for Da Yu." Cen Rong said, "I knew you would come, I am not surprised. Grand Master Liang saw that you are still alive. He was terrified. But your presence, and the slave's mark on your arm, is too much for the Dayu soldiers here."

In addition to the soldiers defending the city, Bishan City also has a part of the Northern Army.Jin Mingzhao was born in the Northern Army, and the soldiers of the Northern Army respected General Zhongzhao very much. His death and the ruin of the Jin family were all thorns in the hearts of the Northern Army.

"What do you think of King Yunzhou?" Jin Yan asked.

"I just met him this time, he is approachable, his words are relaxed and interesting," Cen Rong replied decisively, "but this person should not be underestimated."

"He is very meticulous and never trusts people easily." Jin Yan reminded, "He brought me here not just to use me to stimulate everyone."

Cen Rong was startled: "How do you say?"

Jin Yan then told Cen Rong about the night when he met King Yunzhou and Zhe Weng, and what King Yunzhou said cryptically that "the longevity has no limit".

King Awa of Yunzhou is sure that he will become the next Beirong Tianjun, and

Cen Rong must be the next Great Yu Emperor.Returning Jin Ye to Dayu through King Yunzhou's hand was a gesture of favor.

"He knows that I can't be an official in Beirong, nor can I assist him." Jin Yan said, "I have talked with him many times along the way. This person has great ambitions, but now he has no way to display them. Anxious. And unlike Zhe Weng, he will never kill everyone when he does things, just like Helan Jinying, you should have seen the Gaoxin general beside him."

Cen Rong motioned him to continue.

"The survivors of Gao Xin once set fire to the city in Beirong, causing heavy casualties. However, under the persuasion of King Yunzhou, Zhe Weng continued to let Helan Jinying serve as the general of Beirong. From the standpoint of King Yunzhou, he did so Because the value of continuing to use Helan Jinying is far greater than giving up on him."

Cen Rong understood: "The meaning of returning you to Dayu is more meaningful than keeping you in Beirong. And it must be returned to me by him, King Yunzhou, not Beirong. Rong returned to Dayu, and the favor fell to Zhe Weng."

He became interested in Helan Jinying: "The people of Beirong really trust a Gaoxin man as their general?"

Jin Yan: "This is the most balanced one among multiple choices."

After the rebellion of the five tribes, Bei Rong seemed to be united within, but in fact, there was still a tendency of fragmentation inside.The prisoner of the Nushan tribe that Jin Yan met in Xuelang Mountain was an example: they didn't trust the Beirong royal family headed by Zhe Weng.

And the appearance of Helan Jinying is a wonderful signal: Even the Gaoxin people can be generals, so what else is there to fear from the people of other tribes?

"I think Helan Jinying will attack Zhe Weng very recently." Jin Yan said again, "Zhe Weng won the land of the Twelve Cities in Jiangbei from Da Yu, and Beirong and Zhe Weng are most excited now. The most proud moment. If Helan Jinying wants to avenge the Gaoxin people, there is no more suitable time than now."

Cen Rong: "If he kills Zheweng, won't he ruin King Yunzhou's plan? Beirong will definitely punish the sinner, Helan Jinying. Since the good looks of Beidu are gone, won't the five tribes continue to have doubts?"

Jin Yan thought about it. "I once said in front of Zheweng and Yunzhou King, 'The king should make the people respect him, not make the world fear him'. Zheweng didn't take this to heart, but Yunzhou King listened. Helan Jinying killed Zhe Weng, the king of Yunzhou succeeded to the throne, and the subsequent punishment was limited to Helan Jinying alone. The king of Yunzhou could even release some prisoners from Nushan and take the Gaoxin people from Xuelangshan to live in Beidu. It is a very good signal for those who participated in the riots of the five tribes."

The wise Xintianjun is young and promising. He only punishes the guilty, and he will not magnify the crimes of the sinners on every clansman.How wise, how wise, how worthy of respect!In this way, even if the influence of the civil strife among the five tribes still exists, King Yunzhou can use this method to reverse the situation: the past mistakes will be written off, and as long as they gather around the new Tianjun, everything can start again.

"Ava, the king of Yunzhou, is the most magnanimous and wise emperor since the founding of Beirong." Jin Yan said in a low voice, "Cen Rong, if it were you, would you be able to resist this temptation?"

Cen Rong's eyes flickered with a complicated expression.He didn't talk about King Yunzhou, but lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said with a light smile, "Jin Yan, you...why didn't I find out before."

Jin Yan: "What did you find?"

Cen Rong: "You are a boring gourd, you don't like to talk, you only like to go to the stalls to eat. Everyone in the court said that you don't have half the talent of your father, they just missed it."

Every time people around him expressed their admiration and admiration for his thoughts, what surged up in Jin Yan's heart was not pride, but intense fear.He could understand the reason why Cen Rong admired him almost instantly - you are worth using.

After hanging his head for a moment, Jin Yan changed the topic. "Why is You Junshan with you?"

Cen Rong was startled: "What's wrong with Junshan? Is something wrong?"

"...he's alive."

"Isn't it a good thing that Mang Yunqi's people are alive?" Cen Rong smiled, "I heard from Grand Master Liang that besides You Junshan, he also found a few soldiers who were still alive on the battlefield, and they are almost doing well now. Stay in Fox City."

Weird confusion arose in Jin Yan's heart: Cen Rong didn't seem to know that Jin Mingzhao's fatal injury was caused by his own people.

He suppressed this doubt and pretended to be unintentional: "The current commander of the Northwest Army is Liang Taishi's son-in-law, I thought he would be sent to Liang Taishi's side."

"That's true." Cen Rong nodded, "But You Junshan thought that Grand Master Liang was one of the reasons for Baiqueguan's defeat, and he came to join me."

Jin Yan was about to ask again, when Cen Rong said in a low voice: "The Northwest Army has been fighting fiercely for several months, and the rations are almost empty. The military rations were transferred from the Northern Army and Liang Jing to Fenghu, but the Ronghe River was hit by ice on the way, and Liang Anchong's people withheld it. Army rations for disaster relief, none of this batch of rations reached Fenghu."

Jin Yan: "..."

He almost laughed: "Well...that's it."

Gathering all the clues together, he was finally able to completely straighten out Jin Mingzhao's death and Baiqueguan's defeat.

Although Liang Anchong called the wind and rain in the court, he was still unable to control the military power.The Northern Frontier Army and the Northwest Frontier Army are the two most powerful armies in Dayu, and Liang Anchong has long coveted them.

Jin Qiang and Bei Rong jointly launched an attack on Dayu at Baiqueguan. Liang Anchong withheld the military rations of the Northwest Army, and another spy made troubles, leading to the defeat of the Northwest Army and Jin Mingzhao's death in battle.

Jin Mingzhao's death in battle was definitely not Liang Anchong's original intention, but it had something to do with him—Liang Anchong signed the Pingzhou Alliance with Beirong immediately after the battle at Baiqueguan, sent Jin Yan to Beirong, and took advantage of the defeat to exile the Jin family. It can be seen that he wants to exterminate Jin Mingzhao's descendants.Only when Jin Mingzhao's prestige disappears can his son-in-law gain a firm foothold in the Northwest Army.

But Bei Rong and Jin Qiang didn't want Jin Mingzhao to live, and the three parties surrounded the situation with tacit cooperation, and Jin Mingzhao was trapped to death.

After the defeat at Baiqueguan, Liang Anchong's son-in-law rushed to Fenghu City with General Jian Liangying, and the Northern Army's strength was suddenly emptied.The Northern Rong took the opportunity to launch an attack, and the Northern Army was defeated. They had to sign the Bishan League and cede the land in Jiangbei.

Once the land in Jiangbei is ceded, the strength of the Northern Army will be greatly weakened, and the reputation of the Northern Army in the court will definitely drop to the bottom.

The Northwest Army, led by Liang Anchong's son-in-law, is in full swing.Liang Anchong himself had almost no loss: Da Yu lost his land, Jin Mingzhao lost his life, Jin Yan lost his home, and countless people lost their land and became displaced—but Liang Taishi really became the master of the court and military power. people.Although Da Yu's land has been reduced, he is able to cover the sky with one hand, and he is truly under one person and above ten thousand.

"Liang Anchong has no contact with Beirong and Jinqiang. I absolutely don't believe it. It's all too coincidental and too smooth." Jin Yan finally said, "It's also because of this that he fears you."

Cen Rong just smiled, shaking his head slowly with a smile. "Jin Yan..." He sighed again.

"I'll go back with you." Jin Yan said.

This sentence is a response and an oath.When he went back with Cen Rong and returned to Liang Jing, he was destined to stand with Cen Rong against Liang Anchong.He has only one choice.

An endless emptiness surged in Jin Yan's heart, and his chest was aching.He never seemed to have the opportunity to choose, where to go, who to follow, and what to face in the world, all were arranged and manipulated by others.There is always only one path before him, and he has no choice at all.

Standing alone at Chiwangyuan that night, looking at the traces left by the disappearing convoy, the chill of loneliness suddenly returned to him.

The tea and wine were almost drunk, Jin Yan got up to leave.Cen Rong sat on the couch watching him, and suddenly caught a glimpse of something on Jin Yan's waist.He stretched out his long hand, wrapped it around Jin Yan's waist, and picked up the bearskin knife and jade deer head from his waist with a smile: "What kind of weird thing is this?"

"A gift from the Beirong people." Jin Yan replied.

Cen Rong pinched the deer's head: "This piece of jade is not bad, although it is not fine, but blood jade is rare, let's give it to my brother as a souvenir."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Yan, who had been talking, doing things, and eating tea all night slowly, suddenly moved as fast as a little leopard, almost snatching the deer head from Cen Rong's hands in the blink of an eye.

Cen Rong was stunned: "No?"

"No."

Cen Rong smiled and said, "Hey, what a precious thing, you are so scared that your expression changes."

"It's not expensive, it's very common." Jin Yan said, "But to me, it's the only one in the world."

Cen Rong only felt that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy. He gritted his teeth and said after a while, "I have found your favorite camellia for you. It was shipped from Chiyan Kingdom day and night. It is very precious .Isn’t my kindness the only one in the world? I’m just asking you for a piece of broken jade. You’re welcome. I’m afraid I’ll steal it from you, right?”

Jin Yan bowed respectfully and respectfully: "Jin Yan appreciates the kindness of the third prince."

"I don't like you talking to me like this." Cen Rong said, "Don't talk about the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, you and I still have some blood connections. No matter how well you can say a word? You have been in Beirong for more than half a year. I can't eat it." I can’t sleep well, I miss you every day, I am afraid that you will be sick, and even more afraid that you will die. Good wow... good wow!"

He got up angrily, rushed to the yard, grabbed the tea tree and was about to uproot it.

"This broken camellia can't make you look good, so what's the use of it!"

He pulled out half of it and looked back at Jin Yan.

"Just pull it out." Jin Yan said, "Cousin, I know you want to treat me well. I know everything. But when you dug this camellia out of the land of the red swallow, it was already dead."

Cen Rong: "Aren't you happy to see Camellia?"

Jin Yan: "It grows on its own land, blooms its own flowers, and bears its own fruits. Even if I can't see it, I'm happier than now."

When I went back, it was almost Maoshi, the east was slightly exposed, and people were gradually moving on the street.It was inconvenient for Chen Shuang to jump around with his back on his back, and the two drove back on a quiet road.

After walking for a while, Chen Shuang suddenly asked, "Did you quarrel with the third prince?"

"No." Jin Yan didn't seem in a bad mood, "In the past, he always made me suffer, but now I finally have the opportunity to keep him from stepping down, I think it's pretty good."

Applause came from above the head: "Very good, very good!"

Yue Lianlou fluttered down while clapping her hands.He changed into quite sleek clothes, and he looked like a decent young man, with a hearty smile and a heroic spirit.Jin Yan asked: "Have you seen your hall master?"

"See you." Yue Lianlou said, "I'm asleep too."

Jin Yan slightly opened his eyes wide and paused on his feet: "Huh?"

Chen Shuang rolled her eyes behind Yue Lianlou. Yue Lianlou was very excited, and put her arms around Jin Ye: "You don't know how to sleep, do you? Let me teach you. When it comes to sleeping, you have to pay attention to being in harmony with each other. When the love is so strong, you can't help it... ..."

Jin Yan was shy and blocked his hand: "Let me ask you, why didn't Ming Yetang tell Cen Rong the news that my father was killed by his own people?"

Yue Lianlou was very excited about talking, and couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed.

"The hall master already knew about this. But he did not disclose it to Cen Rong." Yue Lianlou explained, "Because he doesn't fully trust Cen Rong either."

Jin Yan opened his eyes slightly: "Why? Didn't Cen Rong entrust Ming Yetang to find me?"

"Have you forgotten? Little fool." Yue Lianlou pinched his face with a smile, "It was your mother who came to look for me first before leaving Liang Jingcheng. The cooperation between Mingyetang and Cen Fusion is nothing but The hall master is pushing the boat along with the current, and wants to use Cen Rong's power to protect you."

Yue Lianlou embraced him with one arm and Chen Shuang with the other, striding forward.

"Mingyetang is the most reliable Jianghu gang in the world. Even if the sky falls and the ground sinks, it will definitely protect the members of the Jin family to the end." He said to Jin Yan, "The hall master has always hated getting involved with people in the court. It doesn't matter, but during the month you lived in the palace before you left Beirong, Ming Yetang wanted to enter the palace to rescue you, but there was no perfect plan. The hall master learned a lesson, and then Cen Rong came to the door again. So I agreed. Everyone has their own calculations, don't worry about it, let him think about such brain-consuming things, we don't have to live so hard."

Jin Yan was moved. The fear and uneasiness he had faced with Cen Rong just now had dissipated a lot.

"Why is this?" He asked, "What is the relationship between Mingyetang and our family?"

"When you see our hall master, you can ask him directly." Yue Lianlou said with a smile, "If I tell you, it must be a lie and half nonsense."

Chen Shuang: "You are self-aware."

"I'm sorry for neglecting you, little Shuangzi." Yue Lianlou pouted and leaned closer to Chen Shuang's face, "It's been a few days since I've seen you, and you're handsome again, let my brother have a good time."

The two pushed and fought, and Jin Yan followed behind slowly.He held the deer's head around his waist with his hand, and the blood jade soaked into the temperature of his palm, gradually warming up.

In the next few days, it was difficult for Jin Yan to meet He Lansone every day.After finally seeing each other, He Lansone seemed to be preoccupied.When the two passed by, they quickly exchanged the temperature of their fingertips, and they dared to hug when others could not see them.

"Is there anything unhappy?" Jin Yan asked him.

He Lansone shook his head.He didn't even talk much, his eyes were covered with heavy shadows, it seemed that there was something hard to get rid of pressing on him, making him forget how to smile.

Jin Yan guessed that the upcoming parting made He Lansone depressed.

The closer the alliance was made, the more complicated and weird the atmosphere in Bishan City became.The Beirong soldiers were both happy and nervous. No one dared to go out alone. There were a few brave ones who were beaten to death by the gangsters after they went out, and they were thrown in the bald alley and gradually stink.

All of them are hanged on their bodies every now and then.The soldiers had nothing to pass the time, so they often chatted about their own gossip.Hunda'er's fiancée was always mentioned by the soldiers of the Qinglu tribe. It was said that the girls of the Qinglu tribe didn't like Hunda'er either, because Hunda'er was the child of General Tiger of the Yetai tribe. Yetai was the smallest tribe in Beirong. Only a few Yetais put together is enough for a Qinglu, and this marriage is a big advantage of the Qinglu tribe.

Hun Da'er didn't dare to argue with others, so she could only vent her anger on Du Ze.

Du Ze talked less and less, Jin Ye saw him as pitiful, and often secretly gave him wound medicine.

"I want to go home." Du Ze said, "If this continues, I won't have any meritorious service. I will always be a messy horse, ready to be beaten and scolded. I don't think others treat their companions as fiercely as he... ..."

He Lansone didn't have the slightest sympathy for Du Ze's tragic situation. Every time Jin Yan chatted with him, he would repeat: "Du Ze treated me like this before. How do the Han people say it... dog fights against others?"

He became irritable, cranky, and restless.Only when he was with Jin Yan did he show exhaustion and sadness.Jin Yan would touch his hair, move closer to his eyes, and touch the tip of his nose with the tip of his nose. The lamb is as intimate as the lamb.

On this day, King Yunzhou suddenly called Jin Yan over.

He spread out a long scroll on the table for Jin Yan to take a closer look at.

Jin Yan was secretly startled: This is the full text of the Bishan Covenant, and all the detailed rules are clearly listed.

"Let me get straight to the point." Ava said, "Da Yu wants to cede all the land in the North of the Lexing River to Beirong. I'm so uneasy about such generosity."

Jin Yan stared at him without saying a word.

Ava curled up his fingers, flicked it on the table, and said with a slight smile: "Da Yu is cunning, I think there is fraud in the covenant."
