Chapter 13 one

Unknowingly, the light in the tent dimmed.Erduo, Brother Bie, Brother Meng, and Wu Liang also came to visit Lan Rong after playing polo together, and Lan Rong's small tent suddenly became very lively.Kuo Chuu originally wanted to leave, but seeing his cousins ​​reunited with great difficulty, he gave up the idea of ​​leaving.Hai Lost helped Lan Rong take care of everyone decently, her cheerful mood infected everyone, and the atmosphere became relaxed and happy.Wu Lianghetai only met Weixuan when she was very young, but now seeing the grown-up Weixuan, she was astonished and admiring.He is usually informal and always likes to make a joke at any time, but at this moment because he has a worry in his heart that is inconvenient to express, he is more restrained.

Kuo Chu only thought about Lan Rong, and when he saw Lan Rong finally showing a truly happy smile, he was actually a little grateful for Hai Lost. There's a reason for Kuo's wariness of getting lost at sea.Hai Mimi has a very close relationship with Guiyou's biological mother, Naima Zhen, and Naimazhen once even suddenly agreed to marry Hai Mimi to her son Guiyou.Naima is really not only Wo Kuotai's sixth wife, but also a woman with a strong personality and courage to act. For this reason, Wo Kuotai has always given way to her.Over the years, due to Kuo's mother's favor, Naima really hated their mother and son, and secretly humiliated their mother and son, but Kuo's mother was weak by nature, and she accepted all grievances and humiliated them.A few times, Kuochu really wanted to tell his father the truth, but his mother refused to agree with anything. The filial Kuochu had no choice but to suppress his anger in his heart and try to avoid any unhappiness with Naimajin and Guiyu.Regardless of this, Kuo Chu finally understands what kind of woman Hai Lost is after getting along with her day and night.

During the entire Western Expedition, Kuochu was ordered to lead a Mongolian army to cooperate with his father's actions. This Mongolian army happened to be composed of Hutuhe's original Woyichiti tribe.Because of this reason, Kuochu and Hu Tuhe's Ai Nu Hai Lost became acquainted day by day.For the passionate sea lost, although Kuo Chuu doesn't have any love for men and women, he likes it very much.Until he accidentally discovered that the reason why Hai Mi Lost gave up Guiyou and approached him was because he was Wo Kuotai's most beloved son and might become the heir of his father in the future. So you can become the queen of Mongolia.Hai's lost scheming made him feel terrible.Since then, he has become visibly indifferent to getting lost in the sea, and even avoids it from time to time.

After the expeditionary army returned, the girl he loved so much returned to him. He couldn't figure out what kind of means Hai Milo used to become Lan Rong's friend in a short period of time. Approaching Lan Rong?Several times, he wanted to remind Lan Rong, but every time he swallowed the words, Lan Rong had just suffered the blow of losing his father, and he really couldn't bear to add a little more trouble to Lan Rong. The maid came in and lit the oil lamp. Only then did Lan Rong realize that it was getting late, and hurriedly ordered to go down to prepare dinner.Just as the maid left, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "It's so lively here! Can you let me, an old man, join your party?"

Everyone looked towards the door of the tent following the sound, and couldn't help being stunned. Lan Rong was the first to react. She stood up with a smile on her face, and her pair of beautiful eyes like morning stars shone with unprecedented brilliance. Batu often wondered whether Zu Khan was different because of his typical prairie personality that could not be changed even as an emperor? That night in Lanrong's tent, Zu Khan was talking, laughing and playing games with a group of young people. How could his genuine happiness from the heart have a bit of majesty when dealing with military and political affairs?Especially for Lan Rong, Zu Khan showed all kinds of concern. Even his own grandchildren could not but be moved by this kind of love.Maybe this is the two sides of a person?To his enemies, he is ruthless; to his relatives, friends, heroes and generals, he is as tender as water.If we say that the Zu Khan in the war is admirable, but the Zu Khan in daily life is loved.

When he bid farewell to Zu Khan, he was really sad. Even when he thought about it now, he still had all kinds of reluctance and heartache.If it wasn't for worrying about his father, he really wanted to stay with Zuhan.And Zu Khan was also worried about his eldest son, so he told his brothers to send him a confirmation letter as soon as possible after they got home. Ever since he bid farewell to Zu Khan and set foot on his way home, Batu's mind always had the scene of the reunion of relatives.All this will be a precious memory for him who is about to stay away from Mongolia to guard his fiefdom.

Zu Khan's smile clearly has more vicissitudes, the never-ending road of conquest has turned life into a sacrifice to death, and turned love into an interpretation of hate.The fourth aunt Su Ru, who is still graceful and luxurious, also has silver threads on her temples, reminiscent of the ruthlessness of the years.Happiness belongs to the children such as Xu Liegu, Ari Buge, Xiumei, and Xuexue who are playing outside the tent, not to any heart that has been honed after a long war.Hai Milo danced a joyful milking dance, and Lan Rong played the piano for her, and she never left Lan Rong's face with her loving eyes.This should be the warmest scene in Zuhan's golden tent, right?I hope that happiness will be with Lan Rong from now on, and he can slowly let go of his concern and reluctance for Lan Rong.Meng Ge recited the "Da Zhasa" formulated by Zu Khan as the opening of the banquet. His penetrating voice made people awe-inspiring.The same reticence, compared with Guiyou, there are too many differences between Mengge and Guiyou. Mengge is humble, wise, and decisive, while Guiyou shows more unreasonable self-importance.In the long run, Batu felt that Zu Khan should have chosen his fourth uncle Tuo Lei as his successor, because the fourth uncle did have several outstanding sons, especially Meng Ge.

Brother Bie was drowsy on the horse, Ordo was hot and thirsty, and kept drinking water, and even Weixuan, who was like a little lark, suffered from heatstroke on the road, and fell asleep in the carriage after taking a dose of medicine.The long journey is lonely, and Batu is worried about his father who doesn't know how he is doing, wishing he could step back home in one step.When it was almost evening, a group of people went up the mountain road, and the hot summer was finally blown away by the mountain wind.Bie Erge and Erdo both regained some energy, Batu opened the account, woke up Weixuan, and asked her to come down for a walk.

Weixuan's head pain stopped, and she became lively again.She pulled the rein of the horse and began bickering with Belge as they walked. Urduo and Batu had long been accustomed to this and did not stop it at all.Brother Bie Er has always been clumsy and tongue-tied, Wei Xuan, who can speak so eloquently, was stunned by Wei Xuan's words after a while, and only got angry. Badu saw that Brother Bie'er's face was flushed red, and he persuaded him amusedly: "Weixuan, please forgive your third brother this time. He is not willing to bow down!" Brother Bie curled his lips in disbelief: "The girl's family is fierce and tricky, with such a sharp mouth, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find a husband's family in the future."

Weixuan snorted lightly: "Wouldn't that be better! I don't want to get married yet." "Don't! What will you do if you don't get married? Do you want to pester the second brother for the rest of your life?" "Yes, I'm going to pester my second brother for the rest of my life. Why are you jealous?" "You have to ask the second brother if he is willing?" "You want it. Right, brother?" Batu smiled: "There is no reason for a brother to despise his sister, let alone such a smart and beautiful sister as Weixuan! But, then again, the second brother still wants to marry you off in a decent way. You have With a good home, the second brother can really rest assured."

"How? Wishful thinking? Hey, listen to the third brother, you marry Guiyou brother. Didn't you find that he likes you very much? These days, he always finds excuses to visit us, and even a fool knows he is here Look at you. Just the look in his eyes when he stared at you, I feel a little... a little numb when I think about it now." "Why should I marry him? He's so skinny. I don't like men with no flesh on their cheeks." "Thin and thin, he is the eldest son of the third uncle, and the third uncle is Zu Khan's heir, maybe one day he can be a profuse sweat. Don't you want to be a queen again?" "I don't care. Although he is the eldest son, it may not be his turn to be a big sweater! Everyone knows that the third uncle loves the elder brother the most. I think that sister Lan Rong is destined to be the queen." "Don't you have one? If not, why don't you marry Wuliang Hetai? According to my intuition, this kid probably fell in love with you the first time he saw you. Otherwise, why would he find an excuse to come to us from time to time like Brother Guiyu?" What’s more, when I saw you, my face turned red and my tongue became short. If you want me to say, it’s not bad to be a general’s wife instead of a queen. You are so unruly and willful, marrying a loyal and honest husband will definitely obey you. " Weixuan gave Bie Er a hard look with her eyes, and for the first time, she didn't refute. "How? Let me say it?" Weixuan still ignored him. Batu looked at Weixuan's flawless cheeks, his eyes showed concern in his heart. Urduo was a little surprised: "Is all this true, Weixuan? Batu and I have been with Zuhan these days, and we seldom return to the camp, so we didn't pay attention to these details. Unexpectedly, Bie Erge is always careless, There are times when you are so careful." Weixuan observed Batu's expression very carefully. After a short pause, Batu asked, "Is that so?" Weixuan hesitated for a moment, and replied honestly: "They did come here a few times. The third brother didn't say anything, and I didn't think too much about it. Second brother, you..." "Tell the second brother, do you like Wuliang Hetai?" "I can't tell either." "Can't tell? It proves that I still like it. Weixuan, the second brother thinks that your vision is really good. Compared with Guiyou, the second brother really hopes that you choose Wuliang Hetai. He is a very good person, Not only does he have the same outstanding military talent as his father, but he is also loyal to his friends and feelings. If you choose him, the second brother can entrust you to him with confidence." A faint melancholy flashed across Weixuan's eyes: "Are these the second brother's sincere words?" "Of course. No matter how stupid the second brother is, he won't take your life's event as a joke." "but……" "But what? Is it because Wuliang Hetai hasn't confessed his love to you yet?" "Look at what the second brother said, I haven't been with Wu Liang for a long time, how could he confess to me? Even if he confessed, I might not accept it. Wouldn't it be too fast like that? ? Second brother, you are not in such a hurry to marry me off, are you? " "It's not urgent. The second brother is just worried..." "Worry?" "Forget it, don't talk about it. If Wu Liang doesn't dare to propose marriage, I will talk to him personally." Weixuan was silent for a moment: "Don't talk about me anymore. Second brother, I want to ask you a question, if sister Lan Rong hadn't betrothed to brother Kuochu, would you marry her as my sister-in-law?" Batu obviously didn't expect Weixuan to ask such a question, he was stunned for a while, and then smiled: "There is no such 'if', everything is God's will." "I just feel a little pity." "Don't be a pity. Don't worry, the second brother will definitely marry your sister-in-law back home." "Then marry someone like Sister Lan Rong who is demure and smart, and who is devoted to her second brother. Don't marry someone like Hai Lost." Brother Bie Er asked in surprise: "Why? I think Lost Sea is pretty good. She is warm, generous, and versatile. What's wrong with second brother marrying her?" "You just know whose face is beautiful and whose waist is soft, how can you tell good from bad?" "You are amazing! Then tell me, do you see what's going on?" "Didn't you notice that at the banquet that day, Hai Mizuo actually spilled wine on Second Brother's clothes on purpose. It's a good thing she figured out how to get close to Second Brother in this way." "My God! Even if the loss of the sea is intentional, what does that mean?" "It shows that she is very scheming. Don't you all think that Brother Kuochu's attitude towards her was abnormal when she came to Sister Lan Rong's tent that day? At that time, I was thinking that Brother Kuochu should be her hunting target , because Brother Kuochu might inherit the position of Khan in the future. However, I was very puzzled why she suddenly plotted against Second Brother again." "Why do you say that?" "intuition." "Okay, even if you are right, I would like to ask you, is it wrong to love the second brother?" "Second brother's dream is to become a person like Zuhan, which is not easy. Therefore, if the second brother wants to succeed, he must marry a virtuous woman who is not lacking in wisdom. Only in this way can the second brother truly achieve No distractions." "Strange, if you marry Hai Milo, can't you focus on nothing else?" "yes." "Second brother, tell me, is this little girl Weixuan a little alarmist?" Batu just laughed and didn't answer. When Hai Mizuo spilled the wine on his lapel, he did feel an ambiguous hint from the strength of Hai Milo's hand wiping the liquor for him.However, at that time, he had no time to appreciate Hai Lost's intentions, he was paying attention to the conversation between Zu Khan and Subotai and other veterans.He knew that there would be another military operation soon, and this time Zu Khan would completely conquer Xixia. It is said that a woman's heart is the thinnest, and now he believes it.In his impression, Weixuan was still a little girl who didn't know much about the world, but he didn't expect her to see some things that he didn't pay attention to with her intuition and acumen.In all fairness, he doesn't hate Lost Hai, and even likes her cheerful, generous and unrestrained character, but that's all.He never had the slightest idea of ​​getting lost in the sea.The woman he loves with all his heart has always been Qingya.This woman who gave him youth and love also firmly occupied his heart with a peerless demeanor, making him deeply fascinated and fascinated.This is probably Qingya, leaving him with a figure leaning against the door and looking back, but using this figure to firmly hold his gaze back, until the rest of his life. While chatting and laughing, the night was getting darker, and a group of people just went down the mountain road.At the foot of the mountain was the desolate Gobi grassland, so Batu decided to spend the night on the spot.The accompanying guards were busy setting up tents, setting up a stove, and preparing to camp.Batu took Weixuan up the mountain road again, stood on a protruding rock and looked around, he wanted to know whether their environment was safe.When he moved his eyes to the east, he suddenly saw a beam of dazzling white light cut through half of the sky, quickly sank to the west, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Weixuan shouted in surprise: "Second brother, look, what is that?" Due to shock, Batu did not answer immediately. He had seen exactly the same scene, that was when he was with Qingya.Qingya told him: Whenever a meteor falls from the sky, a giant on the ground will leave the world.Could it be... No! "Quick! Weixuan, let's go down the mountain!" Batu pulled Weixuan and hurried down the mountain.He walked so fast that Weixuan could hardly keep up with him. "Second brother, what happened?" Weixuan's panicked, panting voice revealed unprecedented fear. Batu said nothing.What's more, he really couldn't explain why at that moment, his heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and an ominous premonition instantly occupied his whole body and mind.He seemed to hear a desolate voice from afar, calling to him in the dark, calling him to hurry up, and hurry up, he chose to obey without hesitation. The guards have already set up the marching pot.Batu stepped in front of his mount in a few steps, turned over and jumped on the horse's back. "Brother, take two horses and set off immediately. You must rush back to Jade Dragon Jiechi in the shortest possible time! Brother Bie, you and others will follow after you. Remember, you must take good care of Weixuan. Everyone's safety is up to you." "Second brother, what happened?" "I don't know! I really don't know! But I need to see my father immediately. My eldest brother and I will go first, and everything is up to you. Back to Yulongjiechi, I will send someone to meet you. On the way, don't be aggressive , don’t easily conflict with the Khwarazmo people. Do you understand?” "Oh, I understand." Brother Bie Er replied suspiciously.Without allowing him to ask any more questions, Batu and Ordo have already leaped into the vast night one after the other. Batu's premonition was confirmed before his father's bedside. After nearly two years of separation, Batu was always concerned about his father's illness. Unexpectedly, when we saw each other again, his father was quietly approaching the end of his life. His younger brother, Xiban, waited sadly by his father's side. When he saw the two elder brothers coming back, he stood up, threw himself into Ordo's arms, and sobbed softly. Ordo's heart was in a mess, and he had no time to talk about parting.Batu rushed to the bed in a few steps, anxiously looking down at his sleeping father.The butter lamp flickered on the father's sallow face. It was strange that this face looked very peaceful at this moment. As if sensing his son's breath, Jochi suddenly opened his closed eyes.When he was finally sure that it was Batu and Urduo who had returned, a kind smile appeared on his face. "Batu, are you back?" He closed his eyes a little, as if trying to gather some strength. "Yes, father." Batu sat down and held his father's hand that was stretched out from the blanket. "Okay, just come back! I've been waiting for you." Batu was heartbroken and wanted to say something, but it got stuck in his throat again. "Batu, you've lost weight. Did the expedition go well?" "It went well. We conquered many castles." "You Zuhan... is he in good health?" "Zu Khan is still tough, but he is a little older than five years ago." Jochi sighed slightly, "Father misses him so much! Yes, it's been five years, and Father hasn't seen him for five years." "So……" "In Khwarazmo, the father was supposed to visit his old man, but... this may be a disguised form of revenge. I didn't expect that it was the father himself who was revenged in the end." "Father?" "A person, at the end of his life, keeps thinking that he will never see the person he cares about the most in his life, even if it is just a single glance, what kind of unforgettable regret is this! And this, It is the truest state of mind of the father at this moment." "Don't say that! You must cheer up. When your illness is better, I will escort you to visit Zu Khan. Before returning, Zu Khan repeatedly asked you to return to Mongolia as soon as possible. There are many things I want to tell you." A sad smile flashed across Jochi's face: "Really? I'm afraid that my unfilial son will disappoint the old man again. Batu... oh, Urduo, sit down too, sit closer, father Wang has something very important to discuss with you two." The clever Xiban immediately brought a chair for the eldest brother, and Urduo sat down beside Batu, stroking his father's swollen arm. "Worduo and Batu, among the sons, you two are the elders. My father wants to hear your opinions on the succession of the throne." Ordo and Batu looked at each other in surprise.Batu just said: "There is no need to discuss this..." Urdo has already taken the lead: "Father, according to my son's opinion, the second brother Batu has great ambitions since he was a child, deep self-respect, and quick decision. Among the brothers, only the second brother is well versed in Zu Khan's military strategy. Whenever there is a big battle, he can often adopt flexible tactics according to the opponent's national conditions, people's conditions, enemy conditions, and war conditions. , is really incomparable to my son. My son thought to himself, although this son is the eldest son, he is indecisive, far inferior to his second brother, who has more prestige among the soldiers and subjects. If the father and the king hand over this huge khanate to the son to govern, I am afraid that the cause that Zu Khan and countless soldiers have worked so hard to create will be ruined. I implore my father to pass on the throne to my second brother, and I am willing to assist my second brother to do my best to achieve great things. This heart of my son can be learned from heaven!" "Brother!" "Don't say anything more, I've made up my mind! Father, please pass on the throne to Batu. My son begs father to pass on the order immediately." Jochi stared at Ordo, deeply relieved.He has sons like that, and if he goes to heaven, what is there to worry about?Indeed, in the long run, he is more inclined to pass on the throne to his second son Batu, because Batu is benevolent in dealing with things, kind to others, outstanding in intelligence, and outstanding in military exploits, but Urduo is his eldest son after all. He coveted the throne so much, and hastily passed the throne to Batu, he was afraid that the tragedy of brothers fighting against each other would happen in the future, which was exactly what he didn't want to see.Fortunately, he knew his eldest son. Ordo had a close brotherhood with Batu since he was a child, and he was full of admiration for Batu's outstanding talent. He firmly believed that Ordo would definitely recommend Batu. As expected, he could Peace of mind. "Okay, it's up to you. You pass on the father's behalf to everyone." "twitter!"
