Mingran and the others returned to Tianlan Sacred Palace, and took some of the herbs and handed them over to Zuo Susu for trial planting. The first batch of medicines was fine, but when the second batch was bred, it was exactly as Yu Jinfeng said, although it was also Some medicinal effects are far from those produced on the holy peak.Fortunately, Yu Jinfeng entrusted Yi Tan to deliver the herbs from Lema Island soon.With the assistance of these ancient prescriptions and elixir, Mingran finally got better gradually under the combined efforts of Liu Xuan and the old patriarch.

A year later, Yu Jinfeng led the Yunjing Mingxiang Army through the East China Sea and the Beidou Strait, and successfully recovered the three northern islands of Tianshuang, Xuli, and Lema. On behalf of the three northern islands, he requested to sign a contract with the Jihai State on the Beidou Strait waterway. peace treaty.Mingran didn't seem to know that he had crossed the ship from the sea area of ​​Jihai Kingdom, and he didn't come forward to sign the peace treaty, so he only asked Yi Tan to discuss with Yu Jinfeng nearby.

After seven full years, Yu Jinfeng finally set foot on the land of Shenying Island again. He had asked Yi Tan to deliver medicinal herbs to Tianlan Holy Palace twice before, and this time there were still more than a dozen carriages loaded with goods, full of all kinds of goods. Rare things such as elixir and fur.

Yi Tan greeted him happily and took him to a nearby town on the north coast.However, regarding the signing of the peace treaty, the two of them had nothing to discuss. Yu Jinfeng drew up the peace treaty carefully, but Yi Tan had no choice but to have someone send it to Mingran to have a look. Mingran replied that he didn't want to read it. , let Yi Tan figure it out by himself, so the two of them had to figure it out.

After the matter was settled, Yu Jinfeng delivered the dozen or so carts to Yi Tan, and made a special trip to hold a camphor wooden box on the carriage: "This is a snow fox fur. I hunted many foxes and collected many foxes. Leather, just made up with armpit hair, let him keep it for himself to wear, don't give it to others casually. How is he now, is he better?"

Yi Tan said: "It's much better! I can take a large group of people out to ride horses and hunt. A while ago, I planned to visit the newly acquired islands in the east, but I couldn't do it because of the cold weather. I guess it will be warmer after a while." Go. This one seems to have improved my temper a lot, and I no longer find fault easily, and it looks like it used to be no different."

Yu Jinfeng frowned and said, "Why do you want to go out again? What are you going to the east for?"

Yi Tan said: "I heard that I'm still thinking about the island with many bison, and I want to pull people's tendons. The last time Mr. Ye and A Yu went to find it, so I always want to find it myself. Boss, Do you want to try to deliver the things by yourself? Maybe he will gradually stop fussing with you. "

Yu Jinfeng sighed, "It's so restless when it's a little bit better." Fu smiled again: "I won't go, so as not to make him impatient. I have other things to be busy, and Beisan Island is too poor, I think To move a lot of things in the fief, you have to go to your sea area at that time, General Yi please go ahead."

After he finished his explanation, he turned around and left. Yi Tan anxiously said, "Aren't you going? Boss, listen to me. Even though the king is much better, even the two maids are married, but he is still alone. I think that's all he's going to do in his life. But you too... don't you think about it at all? If so, why don't you try again?"

Yu Jinfeng said helplessly: "What else can I think about? No one cares about me."

Yi Tan was very sad for him: "Don't be like this, you have the thought of running all the way to deliver things, why don't you have the courage to meet him in person?"

Yu Jinfeng hesitated and struggled. In fact, he was also very concerned about it, and he still wanted to take a look. Finally, he said: "I really don't have the courage, but I'd better go. He's tired of me and I'll just go."

Yi Tan led the way for him, and sent his own soldiers to escort him all the way to the outside of Tianlan Holy Palace.Ming Ran heard that he asked to see him, but she never refused, and asked Ah Yan to bring him into the study, and asked, "What's your business here?"

Yu Jinfeng said: "It's nothing, just to see how you are, and I feel relieved after just one look. I sent you all the herbs they collected on Lema Island, and the Lu Fuling you brought back that time, Is Rusu alive?" While looking at him quietly, he saw that his complexion has improved a lot, his lips have turned slightly bloody, and his words seem to be much calmer.He just mentioned the deer blessing spiritual grass, but he frowned slightly and was not very happy, thinking that the spiritual grass was not doing well, he thought he had no winks, and which pot he didn't open and which pot he picked up.

Yu Jinfeng laughed secretly in his heart, and said again: "I heard from Yi Tan that you are going to the east to find the island rich in bison tendon, I think you should not go, if you really want to, I will show you when I am done. The fiefdom and Beisan Island may have to trouble your Donghai Mingxiang Army to take care of it, so don’t let others take advantage of it. Of course, the most convenient thing is...you haven’t answered the question I asked you last time. Are you willing to partner? ?”

Mingran hummed, noncommittal.

Yu Jinfeng didn't want to press him further, so he sat down closer to him and looked at the papers full of cases in front of him: "You must have gone out to play a few days ago, so you have accumulated so much. Can you find someone to share some of it? You If you don't have to work so hard, you should go to Shixue Island or Bailu Island to live more, the climate there is warm, which is good for your recovery."

Ming Ran said: "What's wrong with you when you're already cured? Don't talk about it, have you and Yi Tan finished discussing the Beidou Strait?"

Yu Jinfeng smiled and said: "I brought the documents with me, and I asked Emperor Ming to look over it and point out the inadequacies."

Mingran said: "No matter what, you can make up your own minds. If I manage too much, I will dislike me for not giving people a way to live."

Yu Jinfeng hurriedly said: "How dare I? It would be best if you are willing to check it out. If you don't want to bother, I will try my best to keep abreast of it, and I won't let them sit on the ground and cause disasters in the future. You just need to rest assured."

Mingran lowered her head to flip through a memorial, and suddenly said after a while: "It sounds like you are afraid of me."

Yu Jinfeng sighed: "I'm really afraid. I'm afraid you'll get sick with anger when you see me, so I have to stay away. I can't help but come to see you today, but please don't be angry with me anymore, or I will die forever."

Mingran didn't know how to respond, so she fell silent and said for a long time, "You think too much."

The sky is getting dusk, and the wind outside the door is faintly rustling.The two looked out at the same time, and Yu Jinfeng wanted him to speak out to keep him for dinner, but he didn't listen to him for a long time, so he had nothing to say: "I will come to deliver medicine to you again at this time next year." At that time, if it is convenient, I will send my little uncle together. My side is either a careless martial artist, or a serious and upright teacher. No one can accompany my little uncle to sing and sing, and he doesn’t know anyone. It's also quite lonely. I brought back many shadow puppets for him from Xizhou that year, and they were like treasures, and they entertained themselves pretty well."

Mingran said: "It just so happens that Lanlan has left a lot of shadow puppets here, so he can continue to play. Is uncle better now?"

Yu Jinfeng said: "He is much better. He has already thought of your eldest cousin a while ago. He first called Wen Hui Wenhui to me, but then he found out that I am not your eldest cousin. He seemed a little disappointed. Coincidentally, I was in Quanzhou a few months ago. I ran into a merchant from the Western Regions at the pier, and found out about your cousin. He changed the name of the Southern Army to the Huainan Army, and traveled among the thirteen countries in the Western Regions. What he did was use people's money to relieve disasters for others Workers (mercenaries), it is said that they also have their own oasis, and their lives are not bad."

After all, Mingran was far away and hadn't heard from Zuo Wenhui yet. Hearing this, he felt a little comforted in his heart, but when he thought about Zhong Xu, he snorted coldly: "Why didn't you think of me first? Obviously I was with my little uncle." grown up."

Yu Jinfeng said: "I'm also very surprised. I usually see you chatting and cuddling with your uncle. The elder cousin's face is always so sullen when he sees his uncle, but why does my uncle think of him first?" So I didn't dare to tell my little uncle about this, because I was afraid that if he made a fuss about going to the Western Regions to find relatives, I wouldn't be able to mediate."

He paused, then leaned slightly closer to Mingran, and smiled a bit strangely and ambiguously: "The eldest cousin is older than the little uncle, and the time we spend together is longer than you, let alone, the little uncle wants to come to you." He treats it like his own child, when he called you to be a girl, maybe he remembered that you dressed up as a girl when you were a child, and you sat in his arms with two braids and acted like a baby, which was actually quite interesting."

Sullenly, Mingran threw a memorial on him: "Get lost."

Yu Jinfeng laughed out loud, feeling much happier.Seeing that he couldn't get his dinner together, he had to get out, got up and walked to the door, but Mingran suddenly said behind him: "I'm fine now, after many years, I don't care about the past, you You don’t have to feel guilty anymore. You have a heavy responsibility but you are always running around. I don’t know how your subordinates worry about you. I dare not bother you to come here in the future. I will handle my affairs myself.”

Yu Jinfeng stopped immediately, his breathing became heavy and his back was serious, the sound of the wind outside the door was still there, and the stream of light was fragmented and lingering, as if passing inch by inch between the two of them, but now it is difficult to recall the past, only Yu Guimeng lingers around Qinlou.After a long time, he whispered: "Are you planning to forget me completely? Yes, after so many years, even if I remember, not everyone is willing to remember. But can you really forget? I am Do not believe."

He turned around and looked at Mingran, with a difficult tone but he had to speak slowly, confessing, even though he knew it might be useless: "Xiaoran, I used to be full of wolfish ambitions, but I really do like you , I first saw you from outside the Taisheng Pass. No matter what I did before or now, everything I do is to be with you for a long time. I can’t argue with right or wrong. I’ve been slowly changing it. I am considerate. I saw your demeanor just now, and realized that the deer blessing spirit grass is not growing well in Shenying Island, but I am secretly happy, so that I can find an excuse to send it to you every year, at least so that you can still remember that there is such a person as me People, I always miss you from a distance. Don't try to forget me, if you can't remember my good, even remember my bad."

Mingran slowly raised her hand, as if she wanted to shake her hand at him, but she raised it halfway, then lowered it powerlessly, and rested on the armrest.Yu Jinfeng stared at him intently, and said with a helpless wry smile: "I really don't want to see me, I won't come in the future. But don't run around, tell me whatever you want, and I'll send someone to bring it to you. If I don't Let the eagle go to you, don't kill stew anymore, but it's just for the convenience of passing on the message, there are always some important things that must be told to you."

He really walked this time, staggering slightly.Mingran looked at his back, silent for a long time.

Yu Jinfeng returned to Quanzhou, and shipped some grain, seeds, cloth workshops and other things to Tianshuang Island, and sent them back and forth several times before finishing. He just came and went under Jin Duanyang's nose and did whatever he wanted, clearly behind the scenes. With the backing, the posture is stiff.Jin Duanyang really has nothing to do with him. Although the two Mingxiang armies have not merged into one for the time being, they are obviously rushing towards the road to become one. It doesn't help.

Yu Jinfeng settled both the fiefdom and Beisan Island properly, and entrusted Yi Tan and Wei Shuangqiao to take care of them respectively. He brought forty boats and invited several Tianmi people as guides to cross the Beidou Strait and go to Flying in the vast sea in the southeast.He once asked Yi Tan that Ye Zhiliang and Wen Renyu spent half a year going back and forth, but they did not find Bison Island, so he planned to spend a year to find that island.

After sailing on the sea for three and a half months, he finally got his wish. The island is actually not far from the east side of the islands that Wen Renyu set foot in that year.It turned out that Wen Ren Yu Zeng was only one step away from him, but he missed it because he was eager to turn back.

The area of ​​this island seems to be larger than Wanying Island, the larger of the twin islands. There are not many aborigines on the island, and they only live in a few scattered places along the coast.The island is closer to the south than the twin islands, and the climate is warm and humid.On the north side, there are many green mountains, rushing to the sky, and on the vast wilderness below the mountains, groups of bison, deer, horses and sheep are playing, chasing and multiplying.

The crowd spent a whole month inspecting the island in a hurry. Yu Jinfeng determined that it was a good place for hunting, grazing and playing. He ordered a wild horse and a wild sheep to be sacrificed, and found a high peak to build an altar to sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth. He solemnly declared: "From today onwards, Bison Island belongs to our country, and the residents on the island are like the people, and they will never treat you poorly!"

In fact, he is not from the Jihai Kingdom, but there are no outsiders here, they are all his own soldiers, so he has the final say.
