Chapter 25 one

The Mongols quickly reached the city of Kyiv. Bing Ji threw herself into fierce defensive battles with a fearlessness that made men ashamed. Until Harricks herself was shot by the Mongols' arrows, Bing Ji was still at the forefront , fighting to the death with the Mongols. Maybe Bing Ji will die?Had she been dead, underground, Harrix would have made a solemn proposal of marriage to her, the only wish Harrix had failed to fulfill while alive. However, will Bing Ji agree?can you?Why did she refuse to smile at him, or at anyone, even for a fleeting moment? Just pretend she knows, they're all going to die anyway.Died under the iron hooves of the Mongols.

Harricks sighed long, Bing Ji's indifferent blue-black eyes shattered into twinkling stars in the night, and Harricks closed his eyes and passed away. A huge rock fell in the courtyard of the Grand Duke's Mansion, and people panicked and fled in all directions. Harix's body lay alone on his bed.Before he was alive, he never thought that the one who finally collected his body would be a Mongolian commander. The Grand Duke's Mansion temporarily became the Commander's Mansion.It really took a lot of trouble for the Mongolian soldiers to clear the last resistance force.There were street fighting everywhere, coagulated blood and corpses strewn about everywhere. It took almost seven days for the Mongols to pick up the tranquility of the city in pairs of eyes suppressing hatred.

A young general had his hands tied behind his back by Mangesa, and was almost pushed to Batu's desk.Batu signaled Mang Gesa to let him go. The young general glared at Batu.His face, clothes, and hands were covered with blood, and his true face could not be seen at all, but his eyes, like the sea water illuminated by the first ray of dawn, were black and blue, deep and deep. And mysterious. Barbara laughed.Like his Zuhan, he has a heartfelt reverence for those who have integrity, even if they are enemies. "Why, aren't you planning to surrender yet?" He asked gently. The young general babbled a lot of words, and Baba didn't ask the interpreter what he said. In fact, he could guess what he said.

Batu drew out the scimitar from his waist, and personally lifted the rope for the young general. The young general stared at him blankly. "Let's go." Batu returned his hand and put the scimitar back into its sheath, still saying gently. The young general showed contempt on his face: "You Mongols, don't you shoot and kill the enemy who dares to resist?" He said in blunt and clear Mongolian. Batu was greatly surprised: "You can speak our language?" The young general didn't answer. "Generally, yes. However, the Mongols respect heroes."

Only then did the young general take a serious look at Batu.With hatred, but can't hate.Perhaps as Batu said, sympathy is the rarest warmth in a fierce war. What's more, the handsome and resolute face in front of him was so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. go? But where can he go? The city of Kyiv has been occupied by the Mongols, and the entire Nanurus will soon become the land of the Mongols like the Northern Ursa. The world is so big, where is his shelter? He hesitated, turned and walked out the door.At the door, he stopped again. Batu watched his back. "What if I stay?" After a while, he asked loudly.

"welcome." "Let me raise a horse for you." "Ok……" "how?" "What's your name?" "You can call me Dimi." "So Demi isn't your real name?" "no." "My stablekeepers are all my bodyguards." "Really? I'll be your bodyguard. But, can you trust me?" "Of course. Seriously, I do wish you would stay." "why?" "For the reason I just said: you are one of the most valiant fighters I have ever seen." "pity……" "The defeat is not your responsibility, but your opponent is the most powerful army in the world. I will ask Xipan to take you down and arrange a place to live. You should also change your clothes and wash your face."

"I want to go and see your horses first." "Okay. Xiban, you take him there. Then inform the kings that when General Subotai and Brother Berger come to meet, I will feast the three armies in the city of Kyiv." "twitter!" A complicated light flashed in the eyes of the young general. Dimi is really good at raising horses, and within two hours, he got acquainted with the dozens of war horses that Batu raised in the stables.Although Batu's own horses are not many, they are all one in a million BMW horses.Among them was a white horse that was due to give birth in two or three days, and Dimi took extra care of it.

In the evening, Dimi returned to his residence after walking his horse. He saw two people standing in front of his tent from a distance. When he approached, he recognized the girl as Yilin. Yilin was a maid in Xiban. seen in the tent.The other man was tall and burly, holding a lot of things in his arms, covering his face so that he couldn't see clearly. Dimi looked at them in surprise. Seeing him, Erin breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank God, you are back. If you don't come back, my brother will be exhausted. We wanted to put things in the tent for you, but you are not here, we I didn’t dare to go in. Your temper is so weird, don’t make you unhappy anymore.” Yilin was still childlike, quick to speak, but Dimi was amused by her bluntness, and a little smile flashed on her face.

"Your brother?" "My brother's name is Mang Gesa. He is the chief guard of the little prince Mengge. I was arrested and sent to deliver things to you. Don't ask so many questions, let us in quickly." Dimi opened the tent door and fumbled to light the oil lamp. Erin helped her brother put the things in the tent, and Dimi saw clearly that it turned out to be a whole new set of daily necessities such as quilts, mattresses, blankets, pillows, and toilet utensils. . "this is……" "Khan asked me to bring it to you. He said, if you need anything else, just tell him, and he will try to prepare it for you."

"Sweating profusely?" "yes." A sneer flashed across the corner of Di Mi's mouth: "Do you Khan take such considerate care of his guards?" Contempt and disrespect were hidden in the nonchalant words. "The Great Khan has always been very kind to his soldiers. However, the Great Khan took extra care of you. I think it must be because the Great Khan admires you very much, right? He kept saying that you are a hero." Yilin didn't recognize it. The sarcasm in Dimi's words actually answered his question seriously. Dimi's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know if his face had changed, he turned sideways hastily, and made a noncommittal expression to Erin's words.

"Okay, the things have been delivered, and the task is completed. Brother, let's go, Da Khan must still be waiting for my reply. Dimi, you should go to bed earlier, don't work too hard, this is what Da Khan wants me to tell your." Brother Mangsa nodded, stretched out his big palm-like hand and patted Dimi's shoulder, and Dimi flinched in pain. "Little brother, let's go. I will take you to drink with my brothers another day. Don't be alone all the time, make more friends and you won't feel lonely." Dimi couldn't laugh or cry.The personalities of the two brothers and sisters were exactly the same, but he suddenly realized that he didn't actually hate them. No, instead of hating them, on the contrary, he began to like them. As soon as the brothers and sisters left, Dimi simply cleaned up and lay down.However, in the warm and comfortable bedding that exudes a good smell, he has insomnia. He thought of his father and mother, tears dripped down, and slowly wet the pillow.Later, Batu's familiar face appeared in his mind, and he tried hard to recall where he had seen him before, but he couldn't remember it, so he had to give up. That face...is the face of an enemy, right? Just think about the enemy like this, at least he won't feel so lonely. As Batu's bodyguard, Di Mi had few chances to meet Batu.He spends most of his time in the stables and takes great pleasure in taking care of Batu's beloved horses. On the night of the third day, the white horse gave birth to a foal. Demi loved it so much that he took care of the "mother and son" non-stop for the whole night. The shoulders and waist came out of the "delivery room". When he straightened up, he couldn't help but froze. Batu was standing outside the "delivery room", smiling at him. For the first moment, he thought he was hallucinating. "you……" "Are you tired?" Batu asked softly.His smile is so... kind. "when did you come?" "Come on for a while. You're still inside, they say." "Oh, don't worry, they're all fine." Batu nodded: "Dimmy." "what?" "Today is a good day to celebrate. I had them prepare breakfast in your tent, can you have a drink with me?" "Drink in the morning?" "It's just wine. Let's go." Demi felt that he should refuse, but he didn't want to refuse.This involuntary feeling made him very helpless. The breakfast was actually rich, with fried eggs, fried sausages, bread, hand-meat, fried rice, fruit, milk skin, white cream, yogurt, milk, milk tea, and wine...all kinds of things were set up on the table.Dimi invited Batu to sit down and poured wine for him and himself. "Just the two of us?" "yes." "It's such a waste for only two people to enjoy such a rich breakfast." "I want to have breakfast with you alone." "why?" Ba did not answer.Dimi raised his head, and just met Batu's staring gaze. There was something special in that gaze, which made him feel confused for a while. After drinking their first glass of wine, the two ate in silence for a while.Later, it was Batu who broke the silence: "Dimmy, have you named the pony yet?" "Get up. I call it 'Uge' (Mongolian, meaning 'talk')." "what?" "'Ug.' That's important, doesn't everyone have to say it?" "It's 'Ug' again..." Batu murmured, seemingly full of emotion. "What's wrong?" "I recalled a story that my father told me. At that time, it was the last two days of my father's life. He told me a lot about his relationship with Zuhan. One by one, he I remember it all in my heart. At that time, he missed Zuhan so much, but he couldn't see Zuhan again. Memories were the only way for him to place his thoughts and love. I had a faint feeling that when his father was about to pass away, he I must hope that someone knows that there will probably never be a father and son who regard each other as life like Zuhan and him in this world." Dimi was moved by Batu's sad tone, and at the same time he had a lot of curiosity about the name "Ug", which overwhelmed his guard against Batu: "Can... can you tell me?" Batu looked at him for a moment, then nodded. Jochi was born in the tribe of Mierqi.Before he was three years old, he always thought Chileger, the third prince of Merqi tribe, was his father.Later, he returned to his biological father, but his fate with Chileger did not end.Once, he passed out in the forest due to a relapse of an old illness, and it was Chileger who rescued him. When Chileger asked for his name, he made up a random name: "Uge". Almost a year later, Chileger died of illness while visiting Jochi. Four years later, the war between Mongolia and the Naiman ended, and Genghis Khan had occupied the central grassland and then flattened the western grassland.However, the leaders of the hostile tribes who suffered repeated military strikes from Genghis Khan were not reconciled to their failure. They gathered at the border of the grasslands, preparing for the final resistance. Among these tribes are Toheitang and Hudu father and son of the Merqi tribe. After the short summer, in order to accomplish the great cause of grassland unification in one fell swoop, Genghis Khan personally raised his army to go straight to the Yemi River, chasing and suppressing the remnants of the enemy forces assembled there.This battle went very smoothly. Except for Huchuluke of the Naiman tribe, Hutuhe of the Uyichiti tribe, and Kudu of the Merqi tribe who escaped with a small number of defeated soldiers, the other leaders in the battle All died. Even the fate of the three people who escaped from the snare was different.Huchu Luke later fled to Xiliao and became the son-in-law of the Liao Emperor; Hu Tuhe surrendered to Genghis Khan and married Shenjian Hesar; Gadiyan, in exchange for a shelter. Although Kudu escaped, his youngest son Wuge became a prisoner of the Mongolian army and was taken to the military tent of Jochi, waiting for Jochi's release. I don’t know if it’s out of pity for Wuge’s youth and quickness, or because Wuge has the same name as him——Many years ago, when Shuchi was rescued by Chileger, the name he made up was “Wuge”—— Surprisingly, Jochi fell in love with Wuge at first sight.He invited Wuge to sit beside him, and asked some questions about pommel horse bows and arrows. Wuge answered fluently, and Jochi appreciated him even more, and decided to keep him. During the next period of time together day and night, a sincere friendship was established between Jochi and Wuge.In order to repay Jochi's kindness, Wu Ge expressed that as long as Genghis Khan put aside the previous suspicions, he would persuade his father, brother and Merki's remnant forces to surrender.Jochi was very happy, but considering that his father had already ordered Tuo Heitang father and son and their children and grandchildren to be killed without mercy, he planned to ask his father's consent first. The post-war victory banquet gave Jochi a chance. In the middle of the banquet, Jochi took advantage of his father's joy and asked his father to pardon Wu Ge.Genghis Khan's face suddenly darkened, and before his son finished speaking, he refused without hesitation: "No! As the coach of one party, why do you have to disobey the military order?" Genghis Khan's unprecedented anger made the originally beaming tent instantly silent. Shu Chi was stunned.He had thought his father would handle the matter rationally, but he didn't expect his father's hatred for the Merkis to be so deep-rooted. But he was really not reconciled to let Wu Ge die like this. "Father Khan, calm down. Tuohitang is dead, and Wuge is only a child, he is only seventeen years old. Why do you have to kill them all?" "You don't need to say too much. Kudu's son must die! Of course, I won't stop you from sending him off." Genghis Khan's tone lowered instead, but his eyes showed ruthless murderous intent. "What if I refuse to execute it?" Shuchi, who was cornered, resisted with all his strength. "You don't have this chance, Ug is already in my camp." "What!" Jochi's lips turned gray all of a sudden, "You...you actually...don't you think it's too despicable for you to do this?" Genghis Khan was at a loss for words.It never occurred to him that his son would accuse him of being mean in public.In the past, outsiders knew that the relationship between him and his eldest son was delicate, but this was the first time that the conflict was so openly exposed to everyone.All because of Ug, the son of Kudu. Jochi's heart felt as if it was going to explode.He would rather die than endure this kind of pain. If his father can't believe him, then how sad such a father-son relationship would be!Unable to say a single word he had planned, Jochi left the table angrily. "Jochi, you..." Seeing that his son was about to step out of the tent, Genghis Khan's determination was shaken.Thinking of his son's plea, he planned to make concessions, or simply give up his principles. "What else do you want to say?" Shuchi looked back at his father coldly, "Do you think I was born in the Merqi tribe, so I should die with Tuohitang?" "You!" Genghis Khan was so angry that he subconsciously clenched his wine glass tightly.Suddenly, the wine glass shattered in his hand, and blood dripped from the palm of his hand onto the table. Seeing his father's blood, Jochi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm, and the pain spread from his palm to his whole body in no time. Father, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.But you shouldn't treat Ug like that.Just because he is a Merki, is he "unforgivable"? Jochi turned and left. Genghis Khan ordered the banquet to continue.Liu Zhonglu wanted to bandage his wound first, but he rudely refused. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Even though the warriors presented a bold and powerful saber dance, there was still no joy in the big tent. "Great Khan..." Borshu stepped forward, Genghis Khan knew what he wanted to say. "Go, watch Jochi, don't let him mess around." Jochi inquired about where Wu Ge was being held.Outside the tent, the guards were heavily guarded, and Wu Ge was sitting in a corner with his head bowed, wearing a heavy wooden yoke. Jochi endured the pain and walked quickly to his side. Wuge raised his head as if awakened, and saw Jochi, with a smile on his face: "Eldest Prince, are you here to see me off?" "Ugg, I killed you! I should have let you leave early, far away. Since I can't save you, I shouldn't keep you." Wu Ge was very calm: "Don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault! Who told me to be the son of Kudu? Some hatred cannot be resolved. Seriously, eldest prince, even if you let me go, the result will be It can't be better than it is now. Since I was born, I have lived a wandering life with my grandfather and father, sleeping on the armor, and even the wine I drink has a smell of blood. I'm tired of it, tired of it Thoroughly. Because of this, my father often called me a coward, saying that I was not worthy to be his son." "Actually, I'm the same as you. I don't know how many people have fallen under my sword, but when I see blood, I still have a feeling of nausea." "So we became friends. Eldest prince, listen to me, don't be sad, I fell asleep just now, and I slept soundly. I think, death is really not a bad thing for me. People live for a hundred years, and eventually Death, but not everyone can meet a good friend who is like a soul before death." "Ugg, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that the person who killed my good friend was actually my father." "Maybe it's fate. Eldest Prince, I would like you to see me off." "I'll see you off. Maybe soon, maybe decades, we will meet again." "I don't want it soon. Eldest Prince, you have to take care. Decades is not a long time, so let's continue today's friendship in a few decades." "I promise you." After the banquet, Ug was executed.Jochi was very calm, and only those who knew him could see the blank light in his eyes from time to time, and know what kind of torment he was enduring. Jochi never forgave his father.Except for the military meeting, he turned down all opportunities to meet his father with excuses... The story of Batu is over. When Batu mentioned Kudu's name, Di Mi's expression changed, but later, his attention was completely attracted by the father and son of Genghis Khan and Jochi, and he was more concerned about whether Jochi could open his heart to his father. . "What happened next?" Batu asked eagerly as soon as his voice fell. "Later?" Batu didn't understand for a moment. "Yeah, later. Jochi, oh, sorry, did your father forgive Genghis Khan in the end?" "How should I put it? Unless my father never sees Zu Khan again. Otherwise, as long as Zu Khan shows a little paternal love to his father, he will forgive Zu Khan from his heart for all his mistakes. It was like this in the past. So, he himself doesn't understand what's going on." "What about Chileger? What does your father think of him?" "When Chileger was dying, his father called him 'Abba'. Chileger passed away with a happy heart. It cannot be denied that his father had feelings for Chileger, but it was gratitude and pity , guilt and mourning, they constitute the whole content of his father’s love. However, he only wants to live as the son of Genghis Khan. His heart belongs to him, and his love belongs to him. This is the fate that his father cannot get rid of. Later, my father also understood that if he and Zuhan had more understanding and understanding, Wuge could have been immortal, but it was the shadow in his heart that finally pushed Wuge to the road of death." "But why does your Zuhan hate the Merkis so much? Is it because his wife was captured by the Merkis?" "This is only one of the reasons. Zuhan is a man with strong self-esteem, and his wife's captivity is indeed an unforgettable shame for him. But there is another reason." "what?" "For father." "Prince Shuchi?" "Yes. To be honest, the father-son relationship between Zuhan and his father has always been subtle and complicated. When my father was alive, he was always inseparable from Zuhan. This made my father never really belong to Zuhan. And Zu Khan wanted to have his father as a son all his life, and it was because he couldn’t do so, and because he had deep regrets in his heart, that he hated Merki so much.” Dimi was silent, and after a while, sighed. "how?" "Because of hatred, do you want to kill all the Merqi people?" "No. Zu Khan spared the life of the Merqis who put down their weapons. Zu Khan's brother-in-law is a Merqi, and there are many generals who have been reused by Zu Khan, including my army. Erqi people, they are loyal to Zu Khan, to Bo Khan, and to me. But they must not be soft-hearted to those who resist, this is still out of the consideration of ensuring local security in the long run." Dimi suddenly became a little bored with this topic. "And you?" "Ok?" "I mean, there is no shadow in your heart?" "What shadow?" "Are you sure you are the grandson of Genghis Khan?" Batu smiled heartily: "Don't be sure, I never had other thoughts. Thinking that I am the grandson of Genghis Khan is as natural as breathing and as real as blood flowing in the blood vessels. So, I even There has never been a flash of doubt." Dimi stared at Batu.He didn't want to lie to himself, he liked this man's frank and cheerful personality. After a moment of hesitation: "Then why did you tell me about this?" Batu was taken aback for a moment, and his expression changed subtly. After a while, he muttered, "Maybe...maybe...it's because of the name 'Wuge'?" Seeing the blushing on his face unconsciously, Di Mi felt confused again.
