Chapter 18 Wu

Of course, Hamaruddin became Timur's most entangled enemy only later.When I learned about these things, Shanai was already over fifty years old, and he liked to drink while basking in the sun. I still remember the way he squinted his eyes in the sun.Later, when I became very old myself, I followed his example and told Babur, Baba Ullah, and Zoviran about Timur's exploits. However, in those years, my loyal listener was still a child. If Shanai drank alcohol and happened not to be drunk, he would babble to me about those old things like a grandmother.Fortunately, I was interested and recorded all his words in my mind.

Defeating the invaders is a victory that Timur is proud of, but his real victory is not here.His real triumph was when he found a woman. A remarkable woman. Because this woman successfully introduced Timur into Genghis Khan's family. When Timur first saw the carriage covered with blue velvet curtains in the disintegrated army, he thought it was a bit weird. No driver was seen, only two bay red horses pulled the gorgeous car and rushed left and right among the fleeing people and horses, but this never left Timur's sight.Later, the bay red horse pulling the cart stopped in front of a dilapidated manor, and seemed to be looking at everything around it in a daze.

Timur, who was chasing the fleeing enemy, became curious about this carriage. He always had a childlike curiosity about everything.He ordered Shanai to lead the troops to continue chasing the enemy, and he brought a few attendants to the carriage, and looked at the strange carriage from front to back, from side to side. The bay red horse pulling the cart looked at him and his attendants quietly, and from time to time took a mouthful of grass on the ground and chewed it nonchalantly.The gorgeous bodywork and car decorations all prove to Timur that the owner of the carriage is either rich or noble.The man who drove it must have been killed or wounded in the turmoil of the war, and fell off the wagon, and the man in it—if there had been anyone in it—perhaps no luckier than his driver.

Timur patted the horse's neck lovingly.What two fine horses, he fell in love with them at a glance.After calming the bay red horse for a while, Timur walked to the front of the car, raised his hand to lift the curtain, and glanced inside. With this glance, a strange expression appeared on his face. Not as he imagined, there was no one in the carriage.There was someone in the carriage, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a copper-tailed arrow sticking out of her right chest. The arrow came from nowhere, and there was no trace of the arrow piercing the curtain of the car door. Timur looked at the girl in astonishment.

The girl was wearing a red silk gown. The gown was elegant and well-made, like a dress specially worn for a banquet.Probably because the carriage has been bumping for a long time, the girl's sideburns are a little messy, and she wears a peacock headdress above the right side of her sideburns, which is inlaid with star-shaped gold threads, silver threads, and precious rubies.In addition, she wears a string of pearl necklaces around her neck and jade bracelets on her two wrists. Both the necklace and the bracelet can be seen to be invaluable.Such clothing shows that the girl's identity is extraordinary.But at this time, the girl's eyes were closed tightly, her black hair, black eyebrows below her forehead, lipsticked lips and red clothes set off her face even paler.Timur felt a little sorry, although she couldn't see how beautiful she was, but her weak appearance was still very cute.Unfortunately, she just died.

How did she get shot by the arrow in the carriage?Could it be that after she died, someone carried her into the carriage?Who knows, let's bury her first.In such a chaotic environment, he met her, it must be considered fate. Timur waved his hand, and an attendant passed by, and Timur signaled him to take the girl down. The attendant got into the carriage, just grabbed the girl's arm, then put it down. "What's wrong?" Timur asked. "Report to the general, she...she seems to be... still warm." "What do you mean still hot? You mean she's still alive?"

"Oh... maybe." "Useless things, come down. Duoge, go up and have a look." Duoge practiced medicine with his father since childhood, and both father and son are well-known doctors in Samarkand.A few years ago, Duoge's father was killed by an enemy. Duoge defected to Timur to avenge his father, and later killed his enemy with Timur's help.Timur trusted him very much and took him with him wherever he went. Duoge responded, flexibly carrying the girl off the carriage and placing her on the flat grass beside the carriage.Timur had been silently watching him examine the girl until he raised his head and asked, "She's still alive, isn't she?"

"Well. The pulse is very weak and needs to be treated immediately." "Are you sure you can save him?" "let me try." Duoge's superb medical skills played a role. Although the girl was in a coma for a few days, she was able to talk to Timur soberly when Timur returned to Jieshi City.Timur never thought that the girl he rescued turned out to be the daughter of Tughlu Khan, a true princess of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. This discovery made him very excited.And the girl also seems to have a special attachment to Timur who saved her life. The girl's name is Tuma.After the death of her father Tughru Khan, the domestic situation was unstable, so she went to Samarkand and defected to her brother Elias.As the prince, Elias failed to give her the protection she deserved, and he showed a completely indifferent attitude towards his only sister.They are also brothers and sisters. On this point, Ilias's approach is completely different from that of Hu Xin.

What Tuma couldn't let go of was that this time, Ilyas was attacked by Timur and Husin. When the city was broken, Ilyas abandoned the city and fled. No one informed her.Fortunately, Tuma had a loyal maid by her side. When she heard the news, she hurriedly found a carriage and drove her out of the city.She and the maid flickered between the fleeing crowd, and after an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard the servant's screams, and wanted to open the car curtain to see what was going on, but... her memory ended here, and later, it was She got along with Timur day and night. It should be said that Timur's concern for Tuma is extraordinary. Before meeting Tuma, he lacked due interest and patience with any woman, including his wife Yunna.Timur's ideal was to marry a Mongolian princess of pure blood and noble birth.Tuma was like a partner given to him by God, and he fell in love with her almost the moment she opened her eyes and looked at him.He swears that no matter how many women he has in the future, he will respect and love her as he does now.Just like the Holy Lord Genghis Khan, although he had so many beautiful concubines, he never let down the first woman he fell in love with, Borte, throughout his life.

Timur had no doubt that Tuma was his Borte.Tuma will also bring him luck and blessings just like Borte. Timur and Tuma linger day and night, but ignore the feelings of his wife Yunna. As a woman, Yun Na certainly didn't want her husband to mess with a girl who suddenly appeared every day. When Timur came back to visit her, she tactfully persuaded Timur once. To this, Timur replied: : Don't mind your own business. Yun Na knew that Timur's increasingly indifferent attitude towards her had a lot to do with her brother.Originally, during the few years when Tughru Khan occupied the middle of the river, it was Timur who fought side by side with her brother to drive away the prince Elias and retake the middle of the river, but Hu Xin regarded everything as his own. credit.In addition, Kusin originally had his own kingdom in Afghanistan, which was stronger than Timur, so he regarded Timur as a subject as a matter of course, and did not take Timur seriously at all.This time, Timur offered to guard Jieshi City precisely because he was squeezed out by Hu Xin.Although this is a wise concession for Timur, one can imagine the resentment in his heart.After many years of husband and wife, Yun Na knew too well what kind of person her husband was. Timur could bear the burden of humiliation for the great cause, but in fact he never had a truly broad-minded heart.Therefore, when Timur held back his anger for a while, Hu Xin's sister naturally became a thorn in his heart, or in other words, became an object for him to vent his anger.

Yes, objects only!Even though she gave birth to his eldest son Jihanjar and second son Omi, she was still just an object in his heart.She knew very well that Timur had never loved her.Timur would agree to marry her only to gain further Khazhan's trust.At that time, he accepted Shahai's advice and surrendered to the court, and was appreciated by Hazhan. For his so-called great cause, he had to accept the forced marriage. Unfortunately, she fell in love with this man in the common life, fell in love with this man who was both strong-willed and ruthless. Until Tuma appeared. Although Yun Na saw Timur's true face earlier than anyone else, she kept everything in her heart.She was not a strong woman. Before she gave birth to her two sons, she suffered from gout and pain. After giving birth, her health deteriorated and she became thinner and thinner, almost to the point of being weak .This is probably one of the reasons why Timur began to dislike her. Now, her disappointment with Timur made her condition deteriorate rapidly. She refused treatment and soon came to the end of her life. Timur came to visit his wife. For the first time, he felt a little pity for the lady who had been sleeping with him for many years and was now dying. Only Hanjar has been crying by his mother's bedside, with a heartbroken look, which makes people very sad.Ogilvy was still naive, and didn't know that his mother was going to leave him forever, so he just held his fingers, looked at his mother, and then at his brother.Jihanjar is the eldest son of Timur and Yunna, and Timur has always loved him very much. He asked his attendants to take Jihanjar and Ogilvy out, and he wanted to have a few words with his wife alone. That's why Yun Na sent someone to call him over. He sat down beside his wife and gently took her hand.Yun Na let him hold her, but her eyes never opened. She didn't want to look at this man again. After a while, Timur sighed softly: "Why are you so stupid?" "That's good." Yun Na replied with a weak voice and a calm tone. "You don't have to spoil yourself if you hate me." "That's good." Yun Na still said. "Forget it, I won't say much more. You must have something to tell me when you called me over?" "yes." "Tell me, I'm listening." "You have to promise me." "As long as it has nothing to do with Tuma, I can promise you." "It has nothing to do with her." "Okay, I promise you." "You swore to do it." "I swear." "Be kind to Hanjar and Ogilvy, and care about them. They don't have a mother anymore, so don't let them suffer any more grievances." "Don't worry about that. Only Hanjar is my favorite eldest son. If I can achieve great things in the future, everything I have will be inherited by him." "Whether that is the case or not is up to you to decide." "I keep my word." "Okay. And..." "What else?" "Leave my brother alone." "You mean Hu Xin?" "Besides Hanjar and Ogilvy, he is the only person in the world I care about." "Hu Xin... Maybe you should tell him about this and ask him to let me go." "He is no match for you." "What did you say?" "He is not your opponent. I am too aware of his character. He does not have your ambition and scheming. One day, he will be defeated by your hands. At that time, please look at the difference between the living Hanjar and the dead. For my sake, let him live and give him a chance to live." Timur was silent.He was silent not because he could not agree, but because these words came from Yun Na's mouth.During these years of living with Yunna, he had never really understood her except as Hazhan's granddaughter and Husin's younger sister. Yun Na opened her eyes for the first time and looked at Timur, she was waiting for his answer. Timur forced a smile: "Your words are beyond my expectation." "I know you. From now on, I'm afraid no other woman knows you like I do." "Yes. Before, I didn't know it. It's a pity..." "There is no pity." "Okay, I promise you. Do you have anything else to tell me?" "No, please leave." "You really hate me?" "What's going on in my heart, you never know. Go away, please, and let me be in peace with my boys for a while, I want to get a good look at them." Timur reluctantly let go of Yunna's hand, and ordered the attendants to fetch Hanjar and Ogilvy.He stood in front of Yunna's bed, looked down at her for a moment, and then resolutely left.
