Chapter 48 three

After all, Timur failed to become the second Genghis Khan. Before he died, he held Princess Oella's hand for a long time for the first time in his life, and sighed slightly: "Even if I close my eyes, I can still see that the empire I created will be torn apart because of my death." All his life, he dreamed of restoring the foundation of his ancestors, but in the end he could only leave this world with this dream.On the day of his death, the weather was surprisingly cold, and the princess handled the funeral for King Timur with admirable composure.Shaharu had been standing silently behind her. After a long time, she said a word to Shaharu with a calm tone: "Your father must want to see the person he has admired all his life, right?"

Shaharu couldn't answer. Feelings danced and floated like flickering candles, Shaharu suddenly found that his consciousness had froze. He needed, no, needed the princess to make some kind of decision for him. Or give him a hand. This woman who was as pure as crystal but couldn't see her heart, this woman who made him and any man including his father elusive, turned out to be his strength and support at this moment. "What should I do?" he asked, his voice weak like a child's. The princess looked back at him. Shaharu's body trembled involuntarily.Although he is the son of Timur, his personality is not exactly like his father.The weak, benevolent side of his nature was well suited to govern the vast empire his father had hastily built up by conquest.

"What to do?" he asked again, his eyes fixed on the princess's face imploringly. "Go back." The princess withdrew her gaze from his face and said flatly. "Withdrawal?" "No, you go back." Shaharu was a little confused: "You mean..." "Pi'er will be here soon. Before King Timur died, didn't he order you and Pi'er to be called back to him? You rushed back from the left-wing army, but Pi'er was in command of the vanguard army. You are far away, even if he travels day and night, he will definitely come back later than you, at least two hours later. These two hours are enough for you to return to your army smoothly and get ready. Timu The king has ordered that Pi'er should succeed him in commanding the army, which means that Pi'er is finally determined to be his heir to the throne. Therefore, you must immediately take your confidants and the army back to Harleigh in secret, and at the same time block the post The news of King Muer's death can be blocked for as long as possible. During this period, for you personally, the most important thing is to be prepared to deal with various emergencies. Because you also know that once the news comes to the third prince Milan Sha Or Khalil, Omar, and Hansa will not sit and wait and see. As for you, after returning to your own fief and army, whether you plan to take the defensive or the offensive depends on the situation you are facing and Your decisiveness. Genghis Khan once said a word, a hunter who knows when to lay an ambush and when to shoot an arrow is a good hunter. You must keep this sentence in mind.”

After a pause, she added in a soft tone: "Actually, your father has always been such a good hunter." Shaharu fully grasped her plans and intentions.Before that, he underestimated her deep scheming because of her beauty and gentle motherhood. Now he finally understands why his father, no, maybe it should be said, the most important thing is him. He maintained the respect he deserved throughout his life. Fortunately, she chose to stand by his side when the empire began to face many crises due to the death of her father. "Thank you." He said sincerely. "move."

"What about you? Won't you come with me?" "No. I have to wait for Pi Er to convey your father's will to him. I will tell him that it was your father who ordered you to return to Harleh quickly and sit in Khorasan before his death, so as not to cause disturbance there because of his death. Pi Er will believe this sentence only if I tell him personally." "But what if..." "There will be no 'what if', Pi'er is also my child. Besides, his grandfather has confirmed him as the heir to the throne. This will is far more important to him than why you returned to Khorasan first. .”

"Do you think Pi'er will continue eastward?" "How could it be? Although King Timur's last order is like this, without King Timur's army, it means that there is no backbone. I am afraid that none of the generals will be willing to take the risk of going east and provoking that unknown country. If my guess is correct, when Pi Er comes back, they will tell Pi Er their intention of withdrawing troops. Pi Er is a wise man, and he will definitely push the boat along the way and return to Samarkand to secure his throne.” "Samarkand? Isn't Khalil sitting in Samarkand?"

"That's the problem. No one will give up their covetousness for the throne. The result of blood and flesh may be your last chance. It's sad to understand this, but there is no other way. In short, your actions must be Quick, you must get out of here now." "Okay, I'll listen to you. The rest is up to you." "Don't worry, I will arrange everything for you." Shah Ru took a step, however, not towards the door, but towards the princess.Whether the princess wanted to or not, he forced her hand into his own. Her hands are cold.Her hands are always cold.

"I just need a period of time to arrange everything. If the situation is stable, I will take you to Harleigh. Ulugh Beg was brought up by you. In his mind, you are his mother and his teacher. He needs you, and I...need you too. Believe me, for you, for myself, and for the empire my father worked so hard to build, no matter how difficult it is, I will never give up." The princess looked at him with eyes full of encouragement and trust, and nodded.She didn't withdraw her hand, she knew that now, she was his strength. "Let's go." She urged gently. "Take care of yourself!"

"The same to you." Shaharu let go of his hand, and took a last look at his father's remains.He said to his father in his heart, you can go at ease, there is me behind you.Then, he walked out and never looked back. The princess watched him, his steps were very firm, he must be firm, because the outside world has become an unknown world with the death of his father.
