Cheng Zheng, Yuanxin and Jinfeng set out for Mofenggang in the morning.
When they arrived, it was already noon.
Several soldiers were digging holes in front of them.
What they unearthed was a lot of bones, weapons and some decayed weapons.
Clothes and hats with unclear patterns.
Yuan Xin asked, Cheng Zheng explained, "This was just discovered by the border guards yesterday.
I just saw a knife in the sand, but I didn't expect that when I dug down, I found dozens of corpses, so we came here have a look."
"What's so strange about this?
It was originally a battlefield.
Isn't it normal to find some bones?"
Yuan Xin was puzzled.
Cheng Zheng said, "Our burial site is not here.
If there are corpses left by enemy soldiers, we will burn them and bury them.
And the clothes and hats of these corpses are still intact.
As far as the disposal method is concerned, it should not be done by us."
Yuan Xin took a closer look and said, "There are only bones left in these corpses.
They look like they must be ten or twenty years old."
Among the pile of rusty weapons, there was a shiny and sharp knife that stood out.
Jinfeng weighed it up and looked at it and said, "Judging from the pattern and shape, this is a knife from Xichi.
These knives have been buried underground for many years, and they are not rusty at all.
Anyone who holds such a high-quality weapon must also be a master of Xichi."
"A good weapon."
Yuanxin sighed and leaned over.
Jinfeng handed it to him.
Yuanxin held it in his hand and played with it for a while, then began to shake his head.
Cheng Zheng saw that he was acting strange, so he approached him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuanxin closed his eyes and recalled that when he escaped from Fengyan City, he had no weapons in his hands and picked up a knife.
The feeling of holding the knife in his hand at that time was very different from now.
Yuanxin shook his head and said, " It doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t look like Xichi’s knife.”
Cheng Zheng asked, "This was a knife from ten or twenty years ago, so it is reasonable to see that it is different from the current one.
Where do you mean the feeling you mentioned?"
"Weight, temperature, many aspects, but it just doesn't feel right."
Yuan Xin said firmly, "I have used Lian Mo's sword, and I have also held their knives.
This knife has its own coldness.
In terms of temperature, Xichi The weapons are not that cold."
Cheng Zheng analyzed, "It is winter now, and these weapons have just been unearthed.
They are different from the weapons you used in Fengyan City, so it is inevitable."
Yuan Xin thought for a moment and looked at the knife in his hand repeatedly, but still felt something was wrong, "This kind of cold that penetrates deep into the bone marrow and hits the blood of the heart is definitely not due to winter.
The weapons in Xichi are all purchased from the North, right?"
Cheng Zheng nodded, "Yes, the West Lake does not produce weapons, and all the weapons we need come from the Northern Kingdom.
The Northern Kingdom is in an extremely cold place, so it is not surprising that the weapons made have their own coldness."
Yuan Xin confirmed an idea and handed the knife to Cheng Zheng, "If I remember correctly, this should be Yan Bing Dao.
It is indeed produced in the North Country, but people in Xichi will never buy it.
Because Yan Bing Dao is extremely cold, and in the ice The cold land is invincible, but when it comes If you go to the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River, you will be useless.
When I was traveling abroad, I once heard that a businessman in the North bought Yan Bing's knife for a thousand gold, but when he returned home, he found that it was not as practical as an ordinary knife.

It was actually due to the environment. " Cheng Zheng asked, "Could it be that among these corpses, there are people from the Northern Kingdom who kidnapped the second princess?"
Yuan Xin was puzzled, so Jin Feng brought up the old story and said, "It is said that Mofenggang is the place where the second princess was kidnapped and disappeared when she was one year old.
That year, Xichi was defeated and the second princess was stolen and threatened to withdraw the army.
Later, Xichi sent troops to return the second princess.
But just when they passed Mofenggang, the team suddenly disappeared.
Soon the queen died of illness, and the emperor was so angry that he conquered fifty cities in the West Lake before giving up. " Yuan Xin asked hurriedly, "So, where we are standing now was originally the land of Xichi, right?"
Jinfeng pointed out the plan and said, "Fengyan City, Heyang, Mofenggang, and many places in this area were indeed the territory of Xichi twenty years ago."
Cheng Zheng confirmed his thoughts, "Xichi and Dazhao had already held peace talks, and there was no reason not to return the second princess.
Both Xichi and Dazhao hoped that the second princess could return home safely, so they kidnapped the second princess." , it can only be the North Country.
I heard my grandfather say that there were people like this back then.
Guess, but there is no evidence, so we can't send troops rashly, and we sent people to investigate secretly but found nothing."
Cheng Zheng looked back and saw that the soldiers were still digging in the pit, wondering how much more could be dug out.
"These bones were buried very deep.
It took twenty years of wind and rain to emerge, so it’s no wonder that no clues could be found at that time.”
Yuanxin couldn't help but ask, "But why are we fighting with Xichi?
What's going on in Guanbei Kingdom?"
Cheng Zheng shook his head to express his ignorance, "When these are sorted out, I have to report to the emperor."
After the beginning of spring, everything revives, there are no borders, there is peace, and everything is full of life.
The emperor's secret order was sent to the military camp, asking Cheng Zheng to secretly send someone to investigate the northern country.
After Yuanxin learned the news, he was very excited.
I don't know whether it was because he was exhausted in the military camp and wanted to go out to play, or because he wanted to make contributions, day and night.
Cheng Zheng was in trouble for several days.
Of course Cheng Zheng would not allow it.
They had never been to the North Country before, and they would encounter unexpected dangers at any time.
Of course, he was worried about Yuan Xin.
For countless times, Yuan Xin said to Cheng Zheng, "Let me go.
I have traveled abroad before, to strange places.
Didn't I always get out safely?"
Cheng Zheng didn't know how many times he had told him righteously, "How can these be compared?
Going to the North Country to find out information is extremely difficult and dangerous.
Is it the same thing to go out with you for fun?
If you think I care too much about you during this period, Yan, I can give you a few days to go out and play, but don’t even think about going to the North Country.”
Yuan Xin angrily defended, "I didn't want to go out to play.
I wanted to prove to you that I won't always let you down."
Cheng Zheng turned his head and ignored him, "I don't need your proof, and I won't let you take risks just because you are angry."
"I'm not angry, I'm serious.
No one is more suitable than me.
I have a lot of experience in traveling among the people, and I know how to act according to the situation.
Moreover, I am good at light work.
No one in the military camp can beat me.
Walking over a wall is easy and effortless.
What's more, I've mastered martial arts now.
I'm more than capable of defeating you.
Self-preservation is of course not a problem, so don't worry."
Yuan Xin patted his chest confidently. .

Cheng Zheng knew that what he said had some truth, but he really didn't want him to go to that unknown place.
He persuaded him earnestly, "If you want to go out and experience, I can give you more opportunities in the future.
This time, it is extremely dangerous.
You can't go."
"It is precisely because of the extremely dangerous situation that I have to venture into it.
You have to believe in your brother's ability.
I have been living under your protection.
What's the point of my life?"
Yuan Xin said pretending to be angry, "Father said "The eagle grows up in the wind and rain.
If my father and grandfather knew that you had been keeping me in a cage, they would never let you go."
"You" Cheng Zheng was choked when he saw that even his father and grandfather had moved out, "You can go if you really want to" "No," Yuan Xin knew that Cheng Zheng wanted to find someone to accompany him, so he immediately stopped him before he could say anything, "I am the only one who, with my accomplishments, will be a burden to anyone I bring with me."
Cheng Zheng frowned, "I'm really worried about you being alone."
Yuan Xin smiled frivolously, "No matter who you let follow, I can get rid of him after I leave the military camp, do you believe it?"
Seeing his firm attitude, Cheng Zheng finally agreed.
With Cheng Zheng worried, Yuan Xin set off northward with high spirits and confidence.
There are constant trade exchanges on the border between the two countries.
Yuanxin followed the caravan into the Northern Kingdom smoothly.
He claimed that he was a businessman who came from afar and wanted to see the style of the Northern Capital and easily found out the route to the Northern Capital.
Yuanxin settled down in Beidu and got used to traveling alone.
Yuanxin seemed to be back a few years ago, relaxed and happy, immersed in the customs and customs of a foreign country, and almost forgot the purpose of his visit. .
It wasn't until one day when Yuan Xin saw Xichi's soldiers and horses in the North Country that he became nervous.
Yuan Xin followed them all the way, watched them enter the post house, and walked around outside to think about things.
When he was considering whether he could sneak in, he saw Lian Mo coming out of the post house.
Yuan Xin covered his mouth and took a breath, surprised, happy and afraid.
He was surprised why Lian Mo appeared in Beidu.
He was happy that Zhengchou couldn't find a chance to enter the palace and might be able to borrow his help.
What he was afraid of was that he and Lian Mo were in two hostile countries after all.
If he found out , I am not his opponent, I must be at his mercy.
Yuan Xin scratched his head and thought for ideas, and walked around the post house several times, looking for opportunities.
At night, Yuanxin climbed over the wall and came across a soldier peeing in the corner.
Before the man could speak, Yuanxin flew forward and wiped his neck.
Yuanxin quickly changed his clothes and found a dry well nearby.
After disposing of the bodies, they fearfully entered the room where they slept.
Early the next morning, the team gathered.
Yuan Xin lowered his hat and hid in the back row.
The team leader was giving a lecture.
When Lian Mo came out, he saw something strange about Yuan Xin and drew his sword to stab him.
Yuan Xin was caught off guard, took a few steps back and drew his sword.
Lian Mo stopped when he saw it was Yuan Xin, waved his hand to indicate that others should not be nervous, and asked, "You brat, why are you here?"
Yuan Xin saw that he sheathed his sword and knew that he meant no harm.
Besides, he couldn't beat him, so he simply stepped forward, waved his hands and said with a smile, "Cousin, long time no see."
Lian Mo glanced at him and walked into the house, "What is your purpose of sneaking into our army?"
Yuan Xin caught up with him and said with a flattering smile, "I heard that the Imperial City of Beidu is very impressive, so I wanted to go into the palace with my cousin to feast our eyes on it."
Lian Mo snorted, "Then it's really unlucky that you're here.
I'm going back in the next two days."

Yuan Xin jumped in front of him and stopped him, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
Lian Mo reached out to push him away and entered the room, "Have you eaten yet?"
Yuan Xin shook his head, Lian Mo ordered someone to get the food for the two of them, and sat down at the table.
Yuan Xin came over happily and slapped Lian Mo on the shoulder, "Cousin, why did you come to Beidu?"
Lian Mo spoke bluntly and replied, "Let's discuss purchasing weapons."
Yuan Xin came around to him and said, "Cousin, why didn't you lie to me?"
Lian Mo couldn't help but smile, "The weapons in Xichi were all purchased from the Northern Kingdom.
Everyone knows it.
It's not a secret.
Why should I lie to you?"
"Oh," Yuan Xin thought over and over again that Lian Mo should be unaware of the second princess's affairs, and hesitated to tell Lian Mo the purpose of his visit.
Lian Mo could only be outstanding if he had extraordinary skills.
If he could get his help, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and He had just come out of the Imperial City, and it was better to have him give guidance than to run around like a headless fly.
The servants brought the food, but Yuan Xin was so thoughtful that he couldn't taste the food.
Lian Mo asked, "What's wrong?
It's not to your liking."
Yuan Xin put down his chopsticks and said mysteriously, "Cousin, you have something to ask for help.
If it is done, it can resolve the twenty-year grievances between you and me."
"Just you" Lian Mo smiled disdainfully.
"What's wrong with me?"
Yuan Xin slammed the table and asked him confidently, "We have fought several times, but I am so unreliable in your mind, am I not?"
"If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you deserve."
Lian Mo made a sharp comment and continued eating.
Yuan Xin angrily snatched his chopsticks and slapped them on the table, "Why do I fail to succeed but fail to succeed?"
Lian Mo was not angry and asked instead, "Then what do you think is so resourceful and remarkable about you?
Give me an example."
Yuan Xin couldn't explain, so he said to him very sincerely, "But I am serious this time, otherwise why would I come all the way to the North Country by myself?
If I am just touring the mountains and rivers, if there is nothing really wrong, my brother will let him go."
Shall I come out?”
When Lian Mo heard Cheng Zheng, he reluctantly believed it.
He picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
He said casually, "Come and listen."
Yuan Xin told him about the discovery and analysis in Mo Fenggang, and then Xiao used his own interests to seduce Lian Mo to help him find the second princess.
"Oh," Lian Mo responded lightly, put down his chopsticks and stood up to pour a cup of tea.
Yuan Xin chased after him, "Oh, what do you mean?
Aren't you moved?
Your country lost fifty cities because of this back then.
If we can find the second princess in the North Kingdom, maybe the emperor will be very happy, and we can Reconciled, right?”
Lian Mo was spinning his teacup and thinking.
Yuan Xin saw that he hadn't moved for a long time and deliberately provoked him, "If you don't want to, forget it.
I don't think you have any intention of killing me.
Why don't you just let me go as a favor and I'll go by myself." .
When you fall into my hands on the battlefield in the future, I will also show mercy to you."
Lian Mo smiled disdainfully, "You're wrong.

Just because I won't kill you doesn't mean it's useless to keep you.
I'll tie you back to Xichi and exchange it with Cheng Zheng for hundreds of carts of food.
Also, you are overestimating you.
I will never fall into your hands."
"You can't say for sure.
Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs.
There are shortcomings and strengths, and the tides are turning.
Maybe one day you will stumble and lose to me."
Yuan Xin didn't know where the confidence came from.
He was very arrogant.
"Let me know if you want to go or not, just be happy."
Lian Mo nodded in agreement, "Sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman." sjgsf0916:
