Ye Hu watched the two men in the martial arts field quietly, and saw the Khitan shoot out an arrow. Although he hit the target, he did not hit the central red heart.
On the other hand, the young Tang man in Khitan uniform bent his bow and arrow without any haste, loosening his strings, and the arrow steadily steadily in the center of the target.
The Khitan soldiers around him were depressed again, and they took out a few copper coins from their arms and threw them to a soldier holding a plate.
Ye Hu looked at it strangely and pulled someone over and asked:
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, they are competing for archery. We bet on the opening market to see if the Tangren can keep winning. It's a pity that no one can defeat him. Alas... I lost two taels of silver..." the soldier replied.
Ye Hu frowned and asked, "Why can the Tang people be so free in the military camp wearing your Khitan clothes?"
"He is not an ordinary Tang man." The soldier on the side replied, "This is brought back by the Lord of the Great Wolf. It is said that he has a great background and was captured by the High Priest Abaoji. But now he is amnesia. The Lord of the Great Wolf asked him to kill a Tang army prisoner and then promised to help him find his memory. He really took action and killed the prisoner. Now, he can't go back to the Tang Dynasty at all. The Lord of the Great Wolf gave him the name of our Khitan archer, called Ge Shutai."
"Ge Shutai...what is his original name?"
"Who knows, he doesn't remember it himself."
Ye Hu looked at Zhou Bian deeply, his eyes dark and unclear.
"The archery skills are outstanding, I think they are also the best among the Tang army. Can your identity be used by me?"
Just at this moment, the soldiers patrol patrol came over, and the people here scattered. The martial arts fair that was so lively just now was gone in the blink of an eye, leaving only Zhou Bian, Ye Hu, and two wolf slaves who were unknown.
"Do you want to compete?" Zhou Bian looked at Ye Hu and handed out a bow and arrow.
"No." Ye Hu said with a smile.
"I can understand your words." Zhou Bian said in surprise, "I thought that only that woman and that man could communicate with me here, and I couldn't understand these people's words."
"I yearn for the culture of the Tang Dynasty. When I was young, I visited the Tang Dynasty with a group to seek advice from the great Confucians, so I spoke very well in the Tang Dynasty." Ye Hu said, "I will also say Khitan words. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"No need." Zhou Bian shook his head, "That woman can talk to me anyway. I just need to talk to her. There is nothing to say with these people."
Ye Hu watched Zhou Bian silently put away the arrows, turned around and was about to leave, and hurriedly followed him.
"Do you remember your previous name?"
"I don't remember, I can't remember anything." Zhou Bian shook his head and said.
"You are Tangren."
"That woman also said I was Tangren."
"Since you know, why did you kill that prisoner?" Ye Hu asked, "He is your compatriot."
Zhou Bian stopped and struggled: "Because... I want to know my memory. It's so painful to remember nothing."
"So you would rather kill your own compatriots?"
"I don't think I have anything like those who are called prisoners of the Tang army by you." Zhou Bian said, "Maybe I was one of them before, but now I don't have an identity or a name. I can be anyone, whether it is the Tang people or the Khitan people, I always want to restore my memory. At that time, I can bear it whether it is joy or regret."
Ye Hu was silent for a long time before saying, "Suppose, what kind of person do you think you would be among the Tang army?"
Zhou Bian lowered his head and looked at the bow and arrow in his hand: "Maybe...it's just an ordinary warrior."
"Ordinary warriors don't have the ability to let A Baoji, the high priest of the Witch God Cult, catch you back in person.

Yelu Hailan, the master of the Khitan wolf, gave you a name. Ge Shutai, I will call you that for the time being. Your identity has a great background, and you are definitely not just a soldier."
"I asked the man who caught me back, A Baoji, and he said I shot two arrows from the seventh prince Yelu Shi. When I was chasing them, I was knocked off the horse by A Baoji and then brought back."
"When Wanjun comes, you can shoot two arrows from the enemy's commander. You are at least one general." Ye Hu's face was solemn, "Ge Shutai, you must leave here as soon as possible."
"Why?" Zhou Bian was confused, "That woman promised to restore my memory."
"She wants to harm you!" Ye Hu whispered, "You are the bargaining chips in her hand, she is just using you."
"Whatever you say," Zhou Bian said, "but now the only person I can trust is her."
"Even if she wants to harm me, what can I do?"
"Let's go!" Ye Hu said, "Leave the Mengyin River camp and keep going south. You will see the Tang army's camp, which is your home!"
"I won't leave." Zhou Bian shook his head and rejected, "Who are you and why are you sowing discord?"
Ye Hu was amused and crying. He sighed deeply: "I am the Prince of Uighurs Ye Hu. I have not sow discord. You must believe me. Yelu Hailan is extremely ambitious. If you stay here, you will die sooner or later."
Zhou Bian had a serious face and shook his head and said, "This is my only hope to restore my memory. I will not leave here."
Ye Hu closed his eyes in pain: "I really don't know what kind of ecstasy that woman Yelu Hailan gave you!"
"There is where I live in front of me." Zhou Bian stopped and guided him:
"Do you want to go in and sit?"
"No need." Ye Hu looked around, "It's not far from where I live, I'll come to you later."
He and Zhou Bian parted, walked towards his tent.
Zhou Bian vaguely heard a sentence from Ye Hu's mouth: "Wood!"
He shrugged his shoulders and looked in the direction where Ye Hu left for a long time before returning to his tent.
...
In the Mengyin River Central Army's tent, Yelu Hailan slowly opened her eyes.
"I didn't expect that this man is quite loyal, it's not right. He should be said to be... pitifully stupid, haha."
She got up and walked out of the military tent, stretched her waist, and her delicate and proud figure was particularly attractive under the sunlight, and the soldiers around her could not help but look straight.
"Is there a night banquet tonight?" Yelu Hailan asked.
"Yes, General Yelu Yan asked us to prepare and said that he would like to welcome you to the Lord of the Wolf." A soldier replied.
"After a year away from the Khitan, I almost forgot the rules of Khitan night banquets, and there are no beautiful wines or beauties."
"With the Lord of the Big Wolf, even the moon will lose its color. No beauty can match you."
"If you can talk, just say more." Yelu Hailan smiled slightly and walked towards Zhou Bian's tent.
Zhou Bian was squatting at the door, brushing his bow and arrows, and only felt a familiar fragrance wafting over, and a figure appeared in front of him.
"It's you?"
"It's me, why? Isn't you welcome?" Yelu Hailan tilted her head and said.
"No...no."
Zhou Bian frowned and said, "You want to help me restore my memory?"
"It's not the time yet, wait until my army is assembled." Yelu Hailan sat beside Zhou Bian, watching him wash his bow and arrow.
"Do you like bows and arrows?"
"I don't know, I feel inexplicably familiar."
"This is not your bow and arrow, don't wash it." Yelu Hailan said, "I will return your things to you tonight."
"Why have to wait for the evening?" Zhou Bian said in confusion.
"Because...I do, hahaha..."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yelu Hailan let out a silver bell-like laugh; "Today, the Uighur prince Ye Hu asked you to leave me, why don't you leave?"
"How did you know?"
Zhou Bian thought about it and remembered the two big-sleeved and round-waisted wolf slaves behind Ye Hu at that time: "Did they tell you?"
"They can't speak." Yelu Hailan shook her head, "But I have my own means to make them my eyes and ears, and what they see is what I see. What they hear is what I hear. I know clearly the conversation between you and Ye Hu."
"Then don't you know the reason? Why are you asking me?"
"I'm actually used to being at ease when I hear someone say it."
Zhou Bian smiled and said, "Okay, I said, I won't leave because you promised to restore my memory."
"You just believe me so?" Yelu Hailan hugged her knees and stared at Zhou Bian's eyes quietly.
"I can only trust you, and there is nothing else to do."
A little self-deprecating gradually appeared on Yelu Hailan's face: "I never thought that the person I, Yelu Hailan, trusted most in my life, was actually a Tang Dynasty man."
"What's wrong with Tangren?"
"Nothing, you Tangren are pretty good, I'm very envious."
Yelu Hailan stood up and said, "There will be a night banquet in the military camp tonight. Remember to participate, there will be a competition."
"But I can only shoot arrows."
Yelu Hailan took a few steps and turned around and smiled:
"I just want you to shoot arrows!"
...
The sun gradually sets down the hillside, and the setting sun is like blood, reflecting half of the grassland red.
Today is a good weather, with clouds burning in the sky, and blood flowing into a river on the ground, hiding the sky.
Sitting on a big stone, Li Xin'an silently wiped the blood-stained sword "White Rainbow".
This was the fourth day after they left the Chuanyang Army camp, and they went north and encountered many enemies.
Fortunately, the other party was just a small group of rangers of more than a dozen people, and Li Xin'an and the other four were enough to deal with it. Otherwise, they would probably have been buried here.
"I've asked a question." Xiao Xuangan came over and said, "That man is not very good at speaking the Tang Dynasty's Mandarin. He has said half of the words and pointed out the direction for us. From here to the northwest, you can see the Mengyin River."
"Where are people?"
"Kill me, Ye Qi is burying people."
"Tsk, we feel like we are becoming more and more like robbers who kill and robbery."
Murong Bai threw a bag of dry food on Li Xin'an's face: "You, a killer leader, are so embarrassed to say this, so you should consider the issue of eating. We only have enough dry food and not enough water for drinking."
"How much dry food does the Khitan scout have on it this time?" Li Xin'an asked.
"It's not too much after counting it. If the journey goes smoothly, it will take at least two days to get to Mengyin River, which is not enough."
"These scouts were not on long journeys to spy on military information. They were patrolling nearby, which means their camp was not far away." Xiao Xuangan said, "You can go there to get some food."
"It's not worth it." Li Xin'an said, "It's just a day of hunger, which is not a big deal. It's the most important thing to look for the Mengyin River camp at the moment."
While talking, Ye Qinglan walked over.
"It's all buried." Ye Qinglan said, "When will we set off?"
"I have had enough rest, let's go now!" Li Xin'an got up and said, "I'll be able to find Mengyin River after a night of galloping around tomorrow."
"There are still people following us, don't you leave a word for them?" Murong Bai said, "After all, the more you go, the more you are exposed."
"The person who came must be one of the six generals, and there will be even more. They are all generals who have led troops to fight for many years. I don't know how much experience you have, so they will be able to behave properly."
Li Xin'an raised his horse whip high and said, "Have!"
