Chapter 3 three

Although Timur was notorious, Hazhan still caught this young man with a glance.He organized Timur and a hundred of his men into his bodyguard, and distributed the others to some powerful princes and nobles. Not long after Timur was recruited, it happened that an armed rebellion broke out in the south. Hazhan led the army to counter the rebellion, and Timur and one hundred of his men were among them.It was this battle that allowed Hazhan to experience Timur's bravery and fearlessness. When the two sides were in a stalemate, Timur led a team like a tiger out of the mountain and broke the enemy's line first. He was unstoppable and influenced by him. , The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they all fought bravely to be the first.

Before sunset, the rebel army was finally defeated, and except for a few who surrendered, the rest were wiped out.Hazhan admired Timur's bravery, and decided on the spot to promote him to an attendant officer, and at the same time, he played a memorial to the court to commend his achievements.As for other meritorious personnel, naturally each has meritorious rewards. On the day of the triumphant return of the army, Hazhan specially hosted a banquet for Timur at home. Apart from Hazhan's confidants, Hazhan's grandson Kusin who had just returned from Afghanistan was invited to attend the banquet.

This was the first time Timur met Hu Xin.Hu Xin was about the same age as Timur, with dark eyebrows, slightly plump cheeks, and a shrewd and capable temperament.But Hu Xin's attitude towards Timur was not very friendly, and he seemed to feel that his grandfather's praise of Timur was superfluous.Tamerlane has a strong personality, he is soft but not tough, and he treats Huxin as Huxin treats him. The two young people did not appreciate each other and become friends as Hazhan wished. On the contrary, this time they met. Yes, it will be the beginning of their defense against each other in the future.

Hazhan admired Timur so much that Timur's uncle Haji changed his attitude towards him. He specially sent someone from Jieshi with a message to Timur, inviting Timur to return to his hometown to meet him.Timur was not interested in Haji's invitation at first, but Shahai persuaded him that he should take this opportunity to go back to Jieshi. Timur is absolutely harmless, if not useful. Timur accepted Shihai's advice, asked Hazhan for leave, and returned to Jieshi City with Shihai.Timur is considered to have returned to his hometown, but before entering the city, he went home with Shihai first, because Shihai had some gifts to give to Haji in Timur's name.Haji is a man who loves money like his life, and Xi Hai did this to further repair the relationship between Haji and Timur.

Timur gave Shana a break and asked him to meet Aya. Someone else told Aya about Timur's return earlier than Shanai.These days, Aya has always been thinking about Timur in her heart. When she heard that this person came back, she was surprised and happy. She hurriedly took Tolie to see Timur. Outside the orchard, she met Shanai. She asked Shana, "Where's Timur?" Shanai told her that Timur and her father, Shihai, had gone home first, and now they were heading towards the city gate. They probably wanted to go into the city to meet Haji. Shanai looked at Aya with scorching eyes. He seemed to be curious about Aya's eagerness to find Timur.

Aya didn't explain to Shana why she was looking for Timur, she bent down and patted Tolie on the head: "Tori, it's up to you, go and find Timur for me." Tuoli understood her words, spread her legs and ran towards Jieshi City. Aya flattered and followed Tollet.Shanai watched her back in a little disappointment, keeping all the words in her heart.Originally, he had a lot to say to Aya, but Aya didn't give him a chance to speak at all. Aya did not find Timur in the city, but at sunset, he saw Timur who had just bathed his beloved horse outside the city.The scene in front of me was like a picture, the sun was setting, the horse was grazing leisurely, Timur was standing with his back against a big tree, holding an apple in his hand, looking thoughtful.

Aya quietly walked behind Timur and patted him. Timur was obviously taken aback, and turned to see Aya, with a resentful expression on his face: "It's you! Why are you sneaking around!" "Who is sneaking around? I've been looking for you, where have you been?" "Go to the city." Timur replied reluctantly. "Strange, why didn't I find you when I went into the city?" "What do you want me for?" "I have something to tell you." "What? Is it important?" "Of course, the most important thing." "Oh? Well, tell me, I'm listening."

Aya was not in a hurry to speak, instead she asked Timur: "Before I say anything, please tell me, what are you thinking when you stand here?" "I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you, right?" "How can it be irrelevant? Your business is my business." Timur smiled wryly. Aya blinked her big eyes and asked in a low voice: "Did you go to the city to see your annoying uncle? How did he treat you?" "Little girl, listen clearly. This is my private matter and has nothing to do with you. Don't you have something to tell me? If you don't say it, I'm leaving. "

As Timur spoke, he made a gesture to leave, but Aya grabbed him. "Okay, okay, I said it's not enough, really." Timur waited absently.Relying on her father's merit in introducing Timur, Aya confessed her love to Timur arrogantly. The way of confession was that she asked Timur: "When are you going to propose to me?" Timur didn't even look at Aya: "Marriage proposal? Me? To you?" Aya replied, "Yes." Timur was not surprised at all, and asked in a flat tone: "Why?" Ayazhen hadn't thought about this question yet, she blinked her eyes and thought for a long time before answering: "Because you are the one I want to marry."

Obviously this answer did not convince Timur, and he leaned back lazily against the tree with his long legs propped up on the ground. "Why am I the one you want to marry?" he continued to ask. Aya got a little impatient: "My dad is kind to you, you should marry me." "Your father is kind to me, but it's not you who are kind to me. Why should I marry you?" "I..." Aya was speechless. Timur threw the apple in his hand into the air, caught it, threw it into the air again, and caught it again.Then, without rubbing it, took a bite on it. Aya snorted: "Bah, you don't think it's dirty?"

"No. Now, do you still want to marry me?" "You really don't want to marry me?" "Not to marry." "Then tell me, what kind of woman do you want to marry?" "I want to marry a real Mongolian princess. She must be a direct descendant of the 'Golden Family'. You also know that my ancestors are brothers of Genghis Khan. They have the same blood, so I have the same blood as Genghis Khan. Blood, I want to be the son-in-law of the 'Golden Family', this is my dream." "So what if you become a son-in-law? Could it be that you can become Genghis Khan?" "If a person from Chagatai does not want to be Genghis Khan, he is not worthy of standing in troubled times. I will become the second Genghis Khan, if you don't believe me, just watch!" "I don't bother to worry about whether you can become Genghis Khan. But I warn you, if you really don't marry me, sooner or later you will regret it." "No, don't worry." Aya felt that her self-esteem was hurt, and tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked and blinked back the tears hard. Timur was still leaning against the tree, looking at her with a funny expression. Finally, Aya stomped her feet: "If you don't marry me, I will marry Shana." Timur sighed: "Shanai is a good boy, he is my most loyal helper and partner. My relationship with him is like the relationship between Genghis Khan and his general Borshu. Unfortunately, I can see that Shanai I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Poor Shannai!" Aya was angry: "You are not allowed to say that Shanai is pitiful!" There was a smile on Timur's face that Aya hated again.He ignored Aya, and turned his gaze to a distant place, as if thinking about something far away. His sloppy attitude angered Aya even more, she suddenly pulled out the riding whip hidden behind her, and slapped Timur's face hard. Timur was caught off guard, and a blood mark was drawn on his face. "Are you crazy?" he raged. Aya wanted to smoke again, but Timur grabbed his wrist.Aya was like a pony, kicking and hitting, struggling to get out of Timur's iron grip, but the more she struggled, the more painful her wrist was being clenched, and she couldn't kick Timur. In the end, she had to Lost the whip, surrendered. Aya stood, gave Timur a hard look, and ran away. Timur looked at her back and smiled unconsciously.To be honest, he likes Aya very much. Aya has a straightforward personality, as if she is his own sister, but his love does not contain the slightest element of admiration. The next day, when Timur saw Aya again, she was with Shanai.The two were happily chatting about something, and seeing him, Aya shouted to him: "Timer, Shanai promised to marry me." Timur looked at Aya.Aya's happiness overflowed from her heart into her eyes. In fact, she had already forgotten the unhappiness of Timur rejecting her. Shanai also had a happy expression on his face, he was waiting for Timur's blessing with a smile. Timur asked: "Really?" Shanai replied, "Really. I'm going to propose to Aya's father." "Great!" Timur patted Shana on the shoulder. Shanai asked a little unsure: "Do you think Aya's father will agree?" "A son-in-law like you is something that Shahai should wish for." Shanai's uneasy mood immediately dissipated: "Really?" "Believe me." Shanai's confidence increased: "Aya, let's go find your father now." The two ran away holding hands.Timur shouted behind them: "Aya, you must treat Shana well, do you hear me?" "Understood." Aya agreed without looking back. "Don't whip him." This exhortation did not get Aya's answer. Seeing the two running away, Timur smiled and sighed, and said to himself: "Poor Shanai, in the future, I don't know how many whips you will have to suffer from Aya!"
