The lively crisp sound suddenly exploded on the quiet Chiwang Plain, crackling, and connecting into a string.Helan Sulfone ran back under the tree, jumped up the ladder flexibly and lightly, and the whole person hung on the ladder, looking back to see the firecrackers burning.The sound shook off some snowflakes, and he reached out to brush it away and looked up at Jin Yi.Jin Yi was staring blankly at the constantly exploding artillery battle not far away.The sound of the cannon was muffled by the bushes, and it became a little distant, and the light of the fire burst through the trees, and his eyes were bright and dark.Is it Chinese New Year's Eve today?
He was stunned, I forgot.The Beijung people call Chinese New Year's Eve the New Year's Eve, and on this day, the Beijung Heavenly Monarch will hold a fire worship ceremony in the imperial city, which will be presided over by the Beijung Great Witch.Witches of various tribes also worship fire in the tribal camp, and the Beijung people worship the god of fire, which is one of the most important days of the year.Because the calendars followed by Beijung and Da Yu are different, the New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year's Eve are not actually the same day.Beirong's year is in addition to the beginning of spring, heralding the beginning of the new year, pastures and herdsmen can choose a day to migrate, the grass is green and the beasts are fat, and the spring is good.Jin Yu was busy preparing to escape with Ruan Buqi, and he didn't think about Chinese New Year's Eve at all.Helan Sulfone crawled into the tent and sat cross-legged, grabbed a handful of jerky, and looked at the shining place with Jin Yi.When Grandma was still there, every Chinese New Year, Abba bought firecrackers from Dayu Merchants.Helan Sulfone said that after Grandma went, we never burned the artillery again.I went to look for that man yesterday, and he actually remembered that there was a family in the Yetai tribe who bought artillery every year.But he didn't have any stock at home, so he could only give me this small bunch.The firecrackers burned out, and the snow was sprinkled with a patch of red.The morning light illuminates the mountains and the Chiwang Plain, and the smoke rises in the camp, and everything is silent.Jin Yi's eyes were hot, and he was stunned and shed tears.Realizing that Helan Sulfone was looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head and wiped away his tears: Thank you.Helan Sulfone chewed on the jerky in one bite, and his posture was relaxed: No need.Thank you for saving me, when they found me.Jin Yi said all the things that he hadn't said before and what he didn't say in one go, I shouldn't have said those words to hurt you that day, it's me who is not good, I'm sorry.Helan Sulfone stared at him for a moment: I forgot.As he spoke, he put the jerky in his hand.And you're right, I'm really not from Beijung.Jin Yi was anxious to defend himself, but Helan Sulfone waved his hand and stopped him from speaking.The map you drew was burned by my brother.Helan said, he said it was a fake map, useless.Jin Yi's heart sank suddenly, and he blurted out: How does he know?
Helan Sulfone recalled the words of his eldest brother: The location of Pan Tower is wrong, there is no barrier between it and the palace, and you can directly overlook the Imperial City.There should be a Minzhou Bridge outside the Suzaku Gate, but you didn't draw it.Jin Yi: Helan Sulfone licked her lips, and there was a lively smile in her eyes.He seemed to know that his next words would definitely surprise Jin Yi.It was Jin Mingzhao, the loyal general of Da Yu, who told him.Beirong Chen Bing Dayu was in the north about six years ago.At that time, the current Heavenly Monarch had not yet succeeded to the throne, and the sick Heavenly Monarch vowed to push the army to the Liexing River in the territory of Dayu, which was the last unfulfilled wish of his life.The mighty Beirong army was led by Zhe Weng, and when passing through Yetai, Helan Jin Ying, who was unable to join the army because he had no horses, responded to the arrangement of General Hu and became a handyman in the army responsible for carrying corpses.This war was not smooth from the beginning of the war, and the Beirong army was always pressed outside the northern border, and could not move forward for half a month.Pingzhou City, the northernmost part of Dayu, can already be seen with the naked eye, but it can't break through the defense of the northern border guards under any circumstances.The legend of Jin Mingzhao and General Zhongzhao began to quietly circulate in the Beirong army from that time.Legend has it that he rode a two-headed horse with six arms, and was good at using weapons, calling the wind and rain, and attracting birds and beasts to help.Otherwise, how could the heaven-blessed Beirong army not be able to enter Dayu!
Such words are accompanied by unwillingness and arrogance.Helan Jinying's completely different appearance from the Beirong people made him naturally ostracized.Especially when he shows his eyes, he always attracts a series of exclamations and scolding.Everyone knows that the Tiger General of Yetai brought a wolf-eyed Gaoxin person, and he did things in silence and didn't want to cause trouble to the Tiger General.The last battle broke out in the fall.The battle lasted from day to night, the huge full moon hung over Pingzhou City and Chiwangyuan, in addition to the army facing each other, a small group of Dayu soldiers continued to pour out from Pingzhou City and the sideline, unpredictable and unpredictable, little by little to consume the strength and will of the Beirong army.When the Beijon army was discouraged and extremely tired, an arrow from the Great Yu army ended the three-month campaign: it pierced the chest of Zheon, who had fought in front of the battle.The Beijung army retreated like a tidal wave, and they lost a large number of soldiers, and tremblingly escorted Zheon back to the northern capital.The evacuation was so quick that it left a dozen slaves on the battlefield who had disposed of the corpses.Helan Jinying is also among them.He lay in the trench and heard the army of Da Yu clearing the battlefield approaching.He closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, but he was tapped on the shoulder and pulled up.The Gosin people?
It was found that he was not dead by a middle-aged man, covered in iron clothes with dazzling silver light flowing under the moonlight, with a tattooed shoulder armor on his shoulder, even his face of dust could not hide his excitement, I saw a living Gaoxin person for the first time.Are you hurt?
That was the first meeting between Helan Jinying and Jin Mingzhao.The author has something to say: today please try Beirong's jerky, rabbit meat, beef or mutton is made of air-dried, both original and with various seasonings.The dried meat of Helan Sulfone has less moisture and is relatively dry, and it is very harmful to the teeth and tongue when chewed, but the fragrance is very strong; Hun Taer's jerky is perfect in terms of taste, chewiness and aroma because of the high quality of the ingredients.Jin Yi had eaten Hun Da'er's house once, and he selfishly thought that his house was more delicious, but he didn't dare to say this kind of thing in front of Helan Sulfone.
(Friends who have eaten Tibetan yak jerky can make up for it, and what I imagine is the taste.)Please try it if you haven't eaten it!
Very good exactly.Chapter 11: Gao Xin Jin Mingzhao brought Helan Jinying back to Pingzhou City, where the military headquarters of the Northern Army was located.Helan Jinying thought that something would happen to him, and kept looking for opportunities to escape, which made the Pingzhou military department complain.But he didn't expect that it was Da Yu's military doctor who appeared in front of him.He suffered a serious sprain in one foot, and he lay in the military headquarters of Pingzhou City for half a month before he could barely get off the ground.In the past half a month, Jin Mingzhao came to see him every few days, sometimes asking him about his recovery, and sometimes carrying small drinks and dishes, looking like he wanted to talk to him.Helan Jinying didn't understand what medicine Jin Mingzhao was selling in the gourd, and there was only one possibility after thinking about it: this person wanted to get the Beirong secret out of his mouth.He was grateful to Jin Mingzhao for his rescue, and frankly told his identity: he was a handyman who carried corpses in the Beirong army, and he was an unimportant person who would be left behind when he retreated.But to his surprise, what Jin Mingzhao wanted to talk to him about was actually the matter of the Gaoxin clan.The Gaoxin people are a foreign people living at the junction of Jinqiang and Beirong borders, which is very far away from Dayu, and when Dayu established the dynasty, King Gaoxin visited Liangjing and left a congratulatory gift.It was more than 80 years ago, King Gaoxin and his entourage of more than 20 people, the spirit was extraordinary, and since then Liangjing has spread the legend of Gaoxin people everywhere: they are dressed in a mixture of fur and black ink, and they speak a peculiar language, and everyone rides a strong black horse, which has fleshy wings and can soar into the air; King Gaoxin and Princess Gaoxin are like immortals, stepping into the air, and the long tassels in the princess's hands are like blood and fire, which is an artifact that can alarm the sun and the moon; And everyone in the Gaoxin tribe has long hair, the color is like pure gold, the skin fat is like honey, and the eyes are burning like jasper.Jin Mingzhao naturally knew that there were many apocryphal aspects of these legends, and he was actually interested in the congratulatory gifts given by King Gaoxin to Emperor Dayu: ten sets of yaolin sets made of fine iron, specially prepared for the horses in Liang Jingtian's prison; Nine types of fine iron weapons with different functions, such as a large sword as tall as a person, a spear with a tip shaped like a tree branch, and an extremely delicate high-tech arrow.When Jin Mingzhao was awarded the name of General Zhongzhao, Yaolintao had been sealed in the palace warehouse, and nine kinds of weapons were also scattered in the homes of the generals, and the last remaining Gaoxin arrow was given to him by Emperor Dayu.In the hollow shaft of the Gaoxin arrow, countless lingering birds and birds are carved, and a few clouds are depicted at the arrow, and the tip of the arrow is sharp, showing a perfect and delicate diamond shape.There are very few iron ores in Dayu, the iron-smelting technology is mediocre, and the iron tools rely on the southern vassal country Chiyan for iron tools.Gao Xin's iron arrow made Jin Mingzhao full of curiosity.What he wanted to learn from Helan Jinying was the secret of these iron arrows.But to his disappointment, Helan Jinying was a Gaoxin who grew up in Beirong.The Gaoxin tribe suffered a catastrophe a few decades ago, and the entire clan was wiped out, and the survivors were scattered in all directions, making it difficult to find them.All of Helan Jinying's memories of the Gaoxin people and the Gaoxin territory come from her father's narration.Even so, Jin Mingzhao still listened to it with relish.Jin Mingzhao is very different from the middle-aged people of the same age in the Yetai tribe.He seems to still have a part of his childishness, full of interest in the legends of other races, and when he hears about the rise, he will take out his pen and ink to record it carefully.I have two children at home, both of whom like to listen to stories, especially the younger son, and every time I go back to Liangjing, I will be pestered by him.Jin Mingzhao explained to Helan Jinying, you told me, and if I go back and tell him, it means that he also knows the past of the Gaoxin clan.Helan Jinying thought that his youngest son was a sturdy hairy boy.He is very cautious and quiet, and he is frail and sickly, so he is very slow to practice martial arts.Jin Mingzhao said with a smile that compared to the battlefield, war horses, or the art of war, he preferred to play everywhere and not be restricted.When it comes to this child, Jin Mingzhao is a little gloomy: he is trapped in Liang Jing and can't go out, so I need to find some stories for him to satisfy his curiosity.Helan Jinying searched his stomach and thought about it, and told many strange Gaoxin legends.In return, Jin Ming will talk to him about Liang Jing and Fenghu City.Jin Mingzhao was very cautious, he only talked about the food and climate of these two places, and occasionally mentioned the famous Pan Lou in Liang Jing, and the Minzhou Bridge crossed by Yanzi Creek.Half a month later, the day before he was about to leave for the Northwest Frontier Army, Jin Mingzhao released more than a dozen Beirong prisoners of war who had been imprisoned.Helan Jinying asked him why he didn't just kill him, and Jin Mingzhao smiled: I let you go back to Beirong today, because I hope that Beirong will keep the promise of the two countries in the future, and not kill our prisoners.Da Yu has you, how can it be broken by Beirong?
Helan Jinying only felt that what he said was high-sounding and unbelievable.I'm going to die too.Jin Mingzhao replied, I am not in the court, but the people in the court are jealous of me.A fierce general is like a tiger, if he can't be imprisoned and can't be fed, then he can't be used.He said it in a very literate manner, but Helan Jinying didn't understand.When leaving, Jin Mingzhao's guards gave Helan Jinying some water and food.Although each prisoner of war has these things, Helan Jinying's is more abundant than others, Jin Mingzhao said with a smile, this is Helan Jinying's reward for telling his story for half a month.If you have a chance, you can also go to the territory of the Gaoxin tribe to have a look, Jin Mingzhao waved goodbye to him and said, That is your hometown.I am from Beirong, Helan Jinying couldn't help but say, Gaoxin's territory is just a strange place to me.You are a native of Gaoxin and a native of Beijung.Jin Mingzhao laughed, don't you all believe in gods?
It turns out that the gods of Chi Wangyuan are so domineering that they stipulate that a person only belongs to one place in his life?
Helan Jinying didn't know how to answer for a while.Why stick to blood identity?
If you have a horse, you can reach anywhere in the world.Don't you want to see Liangjing's Swallow Creek and Minzhou Bridge?
Liang Jing welcomes all guests from all over the world, as long as you don't go with the purpose of trampling.Jin Ming said, have you ever been to Chiyan?
It was unusually hot there, there was no winter, and the Chiyan people never had the opportunity to see the snow in their lives.There is also Qiong Zhou, which is separated from Dayu by the sea, and Ruohai in the south of Chiyan.If the sea is boundless, is there any other land on the other side of the sea?
Helan Jinying frowned tightly, these were things he had never thought about.Jin Mingzhao smiled and said: That's it, these are all small talks between me and my children.You just listen to it as a joke.I used to think that the people of Gaoxin should have great ambitions, but I didn't expect you to be willing to be a blunt horse in Beirong.Let's go, we shouldn't see you again.Yes, definitely.Helan Jinying suddenly said, I am the one who wants to be a general.General Jin, if you don't kill me here today, you will regret it in the future.Jin Mingzhao laughed: Then let's meet again on the battlefield in the future.His words changed, revealing a trace of cold and murderous aura: Gaoxin people, if there is a day, I will personally collect the corpse for you.The forest was extremely quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing.A wind chime made of bones hung over the tent door, making a clumsy sound.After Helan Sulfone finished speaking, Jin Yi was just stunned.Jin Mingzhao rarely goes home once a year, and he and his sister really like to listen to him tell stories.He was still young at that time, and he didn't know what the big war was going on outside, and who his father had fought with, but he clearly remembered that one year Jin Mingzhao went home, and for some reason, it was all about a foreigner named Gao Xin.It was then that he learned for the first time that the black arrow that his father held up as the most precious thing in his family was actually a Gaoxin arrow.He also knew that the Gosin worshipped the deer as a god, and they believed that the wind was the freest thing in the land.The Gosin people live in the westernmost part of the Kudurin Mountains, a sacred mountain called Blood Wolf Mountain, a towering mountain of red and black.He also knew that the Gosinians were skilled in smelting iron, and that they could craft the hardest and sharpest weapons.It turned out that everything was heard from Helan Jinying.Jin Yi looked at Helan Sulfone's eyes, and the trace of turquoise hidden in his eyes suddenly reminded him of the emerald green ribbon tied around his mother's waist.The pain struck instantly.Jin Yi began to cry, completely forgetting Bai Ni's advice and where he was.All kinds of fate in the dark made him suddenly relax himself in this lonely and cold land.He frantically thinks about Liang Jing, his home, his father and sister-in-law, Bai Ni, Mang Yunqi, and all the joys and sorrows he has had in the past ten years.He cried completely out of control, and Helan Sulfone was at a loss.Finding that he was powerless to stop Jin Yi from crying, Helan Sulfone simply sat beside him, continued to eat dried meat silently, and quickly stuffed one into his mouth while Jin Yi was unprepared.Jin Yi: Huh?
Helan Sulfone: Continue when you are full, so powerful.Jin Yi sobbed as he chewed on the jerky, and he was ashamed of Fang Cai's crying.This is in Yetai, on someone else's territory; But when I looked up and saw Helan Sulfone and another dried meat handed over through my tears, my heart was full of peace and relaxation.At least for now, it's safe here.Jin Yi wiped his eyes with a fox fur and said vaguely: Hun Da'er's is more delicious.Helan Sulfone: Really?
Jin Yi suddenly remembered that he should try his best to be as good as possible at this moment, in exchange for Helan Sulfone's trust and sympathy, and couldn't help but secretly annoyed: as soon as he relaxed, he said the wrong thing again.Helan Sulfone: If you like, I'll go to his house and steal some for you later.Jin Yi: Helan Sulfone is about to jump down: I'll go now.Jin Yi panicked and held him down: Don't!
The tent was narrow, Helan Sulfone was pushed by him and fell on his back on the haystack, Jin Yi rode on his waist and abdomen and pressed his shoulder, and saw Helan Sulfone laughing.Helan Sulfone laughed heartily at the fact that he had provoked Jin Yi's gaffe, and suddenly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.Jin Yi has lost a lot of weight recently, but his face is still very soft when he rubs it.The two of them were silent for a moment, but only before they shook as the snow broke from the top of the tree, fell from the hollow in the top of the tent, and fell sporadically on their shoulders.Big brother will scare you, but he will never hurt you.Tianjun wanted to kill you, but it was the eldest brother who said that you had the ability to never forget, and you could ask for a map of Liangjing, and said that you were weak and afraid of cold and couldn't trek, so Tianjun agreed to leave you in Yetai and be taken care of by him.Helan Sulfone held his face, Jin Yi, believe me, don't be afraid of me.
