Unconsciously, it was autumn and winter, and it had been 2 months since Zhou Nan came to this era. There is no longer the verdant and lively nature of Zhou Nan when he first came, only the withered yellow grass and bare branches on the trees, and there are birds shivering and flying away hungry. Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan, armed with bows and arrows, knives and forks, and dry food, came out of their homes in the morning, climbed over a mountain, and came to a higher lime tree ditch to hunt. After beating the boar, maybe the pig cage poked there, and there was no pig damage, and the grain was 20% more than in previous years.

Hunters often say: yellow sheep in September, wolves in October, pheasants blind in snow. At this time, it is the season to hunt yellow sheep and foxes. When I go out to hunt, I come to hunt some wild things in exchange for some cloth, and second, I want to prepare some food for the next spring. In the spring, the wild animals do not eat, they are too thin, and they are not as fat as the prey that spends the winter in winter.

After two months of hunting, Zhou Nan's archery skills have far surpassed Gaoyuan, and the relationship between the two is getting deeper and deeper. The two of them fought while walking, but they also had a small harvest, and there were three or four pheasants and hares. However, if you want to fight large roe deer and deer, you can only go to the higher linden tree ditch, and in winter, the wild animals are shrunk to higher mountains and forests for the winter, and there are few under the mountains.

In the linden tree ditch, the trees are dry and bare, the branches point to the sky, and the fallen leaves in the mountain forest are covered with a thick layer, and there are various nut seeds that fall in autumn hidden underneath, and there is food for the wild animals.

In the open space outside the mountain forest, there are several tall and handsome horses scattered, and the saddle ribbon is carved immediately, inlaid with gold and jade jewelry, and the horses are extraordinary. Several samurai in soft armor, bows and arrows at their waists, and leather boots stood around, all with their hair exposed. A maid in a robe, leather boots, and a bun on her head was pulling food from her saddle bag to feed the horses. In the farther away of the samurai, there were several samurai who were also dressed and patrolling on horseback.

A man and a woman are standing in the center of the samurai. The man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a resolute countenance, and wore a lake-blue robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves on his left side, embroidered with dragon patterns all over the robe, the straps of the robe were knotted at the chest, and then drooped to the knees, and a gold and silver sash was tied around his waist, and a silver sword hung from his belt. The woman wears a bun on her head, wears a gold-threaded pearl amber pendant, the gold-threaded pearl is coiled in a circle on the top of her head, a green silk is wrapped, and the robe is covered with a round brocade robe with a red background, revealing a blue flower skirt in the robe, black leather boots, and a pair of gold phoenixes on her forehead. The two are the children born to Emperor Wen of the Liao State, the current Jin King of the Liao State, Yelu Ao, and the princess of the Shu State, Yelu Yu Liyan.

The country is in decline, his biological mother was ordered to die by his father, and his mother's family was falsely accused by traitorous ministers. And the father and emperor did not care that half of the country fell into the hands of the enemy, but he still hid and hunted everywhere. Now that Zhongjing has also fallen into the hands of the enemy, my father and emperor came to Yanjing with a large number of retinues and the royal family, and he still has no intention of state affairs. The two sisters and brothers were depressed in their hearts, so they brought their henchmen to the west of Yanjing City to play and relax. Along the way, although it was early winter, there was also some wild fun, which attracted the two sisters and brothers to come west more and more, and I sincerely hoped that they would not return to Yanjing City for the rest of their lives, and they would fall clean.

Stop and go, to this place, long away from Yanjing City, the tall city wall of Yanjing City has been completely invisible, standing on the top of the mountain, only to see the distant mountains are picturesque, the layers of forests are scattered, and there are more maple forests such as dyeing, although the grass is withered and yellow, but it has a unique charm, and people can't bear to leave.

The view was like this, and the two stopped to rest. Seeing that the guards were far away, Yelu Yu Liyan's already stretched brows furrowed again, his red lips opened lightly, and he said, "Brother, my sister and brother have been away from Beijing for many days, but it seems that they are being bored and careful in that city. Now that the traitors in the country are in power, they are even more incompatible with your brother, if you fight with him, you are only afraid that the power is weak, and the father is ignorant, I am afraid that I just can't take all this life. Now, why don't we wait to go away, hide my name, and then plan for the future. Brother, what do you think? ”

The king of Jin, Yelu Aolu, was resolute and steady between his eyebrows, but he looked like an old man in the world, Yelu Aolu shook his head, frowned tightly and said: "Sister, the traitor is in charge, and there should be a wise man to see the sun and get rid of this thief; My father is ignorant, and there will be a time when the advice will be heard, and my Great Liao Kingdom is at the head of the national crisis, and I am about to rise up to fight and protect my Great Liao country, but I am the prince, but I want to retreat, and who will be loyal to the king? ”

Yelu Yu Liyan knew that this younger brother was more than upright and not sleek, so he still patiently persuaded: "The Great Liao River and Mountain belong to my Yelu family, so I naturally have to try my best to protect it, but today's traitorous ministers are powerful, and I am afraid that my brother will be loyal to the country and will be secretly arrowed behind his back." In the end, it is better to think of a safe plan, protect yourself first, and then do other things. If my brother doesn't think of my persuasion today, he must also remember his mother's spirit in heaven, so as not to make her sad. After all, Yelu Ao Lu Hu was firm in his beliefs, but he still shook his head and said: "How can I take care of myself and lose the integrity of being a courtier?" ”

Yelu Yu Liyan knew that he couldn't be persuaded today, and sighed. After resting for a while, he was about to call Yelu Ao Lu to take another ride. Suddenly I heard the sound of scolding in the distance, only to see a few guards and warriors in the distance drawing their swords and approaching the two Han people, and were about to swing their knives to do it with the two Han men, the two Han people held short knives and hunting forks, although they were dressed shabbyly, but they couldn't hide the heroic spirit of the two, seeing that they were surrounded by several samurai, they were not willing to be killed, and the two sides were about to make a move, and they were hurriedly stopped by Yelu Yu Liyan, she saw it clearly, the Han people were dressed as hunters, and they probably had no intention of approaching, not with bad intentions. Seeing that the master stopped him, several samurai escorted the two Han people over.

These two Han people are both in their twenties, one of them has thick eyebrows, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and the other has a fair face, and under the long and heroic eyebrows, the starry eyes are deep. It was Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan who came to Linden Tree Ditch to hunt. The two wanted to find some roe deer to fight, but they didn't expect to meet the Liao warriors, and their words did not agree, and they were about to make a move, when they were stopped by a girl in the distance. He was taken by several samurai to meet the girl.

Although Gao Yuan lived in the mountains and didn't know the time, he also knew that this place belonged to the Liao State, but the Liao State had been in turmoil for two years, and few officials came to collect rent and pay taxes. Zhou Nan and the two came to the girl, only to hear the girl ask, Gao Yuan honestly told the two of them where they lived. Zhou Nan couldn't help but look left and right, this was the first time he had seen Liao people wearing Khitan costumes, especially these two young men and women, with gorgeous and exquisite clothes, which opened the eyes of Zhou Nan, who was used to seeing sackcloth robes on weekdays. I saw that this group of Liao people were brightly dressed, the young man in the robe had a resolute face, and at a glance he knew that he was the son of the official eunuch and noble, and then looked at the girl who spoke, Zhou Nan's eyes lit up, the girl in front of him was twenty-nine Fanghua, with black and long eyebrows, like a picture, a pair of eyes looking forward to the light, the lacquer-like eyes were black and white, the face was white and tender like jade, the pearl bun, the hair was black like a cloud, the forehead was double phoenix Jindian, and the brocade robe and blue skirt were more and more bright and moving. Behind the girl stood a girl of a similar age, with picturesque eyebrows, clever and well-behaved, but dressed much more simply, like a maid. The maid looked at Zhou Nan's eyes and looked at them with a lot of confusion, and she was not angry in her heart, and scolded in a low voice: "Your eyes burn like a thief." Zhou Nan glanced at the maid and ignored her.

The aristocratic girl said, "It is this mountain hunter who is just showing me the way." When you find a good hunting place, you two will be rewarded. But they could not refuse to speak, and a samurai came and led them to the front to lead the way.

Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Zhou Nan said: "Today is not a good yellow calendar, I was arrested as a strong man." The two had to pack up, lead the way in front, and lead the Liao people to the depths of the mountains and forests.

After walking all the way, it was strange that there was not even a single pheasant or hare. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and the sky was already dark, Gao Yuan said to the samurai beside him: "There is no other place in the mountains, the sky is already dark, you must find a safe place to rest, and you can go again tomorrow." If there are tigers and leopards at night, they are not tricks. ”
