Crossing the grassland, the rough general, please set me free

"Chief Hujitai, since you are here, I don't have to look for you." Yan Lie looked at the person in front of him with a serious expression.

"If the Khan has something to say, he can just send someone to pass on the message. Why bother going there in person?"

"Haha, I have to do this myself."

Hu Jitai didn't know what had happened. He thought about his recent words and deeds, including the daily affairs of the tribe, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Khan, it's getting late and the dew is heavy. Let's go into the tent and talk. Please."

Yan Lie didn't say anything, but strode into the tent and sat in the upper seat, while Hu Jitai sat in the lower seat.

Soon the servant brought milk tea.

Yan Lie's behavior tonight was very different from usual, and Hu Taiji felt a little uneasy.

Just at this moment, there was a noisy sound at the door of the tent, and Bu Re came in with Mingzhu.

As soon as Hu Taiji saw his daughter, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Father." Mingzhu ran to Hu Taiji as soon as she saw him, sobbing softly.

"What's wrong? Mingzhu, why are you here? What happened?" Hu Taiji looked at his daughter and then at Yan Lie.

"I... I..." Mingzhu looked at the tent full of people and stammered, unable to speak.

"Chief Hujitai, don't be anxious. Take a look at these things first."

Yan Lie waved his hand and Bu Re took out a bundle and put it on the table.

Hu Jitai looked at the wet thing in front of him, then looked at his daughter beside him. He didn't know what this bundle was, but he recognized the pattern embroidered on it. It was Mingzhu's favorite style.

What’s in it?

When I opened the bundle, I found several packets of something that looked like medicine powder inside.

"What is this?" Hu Taiji looked at the main seat.

Yan Lie waved towards the military doctors and said, "Explain yourself to them."

"Yes, Khan."

. . . . . . . . . .

Soha tribe.

At night, Bumtai did not go to Airong Gaowa, but asked Natu'a to deliver the message.

Sitting in the tent with a box beside him.

His brows were furrowed. After interacting with Qin Yue for the past two days, he found that he always inadvertently asked about the affairs of the Balin tribe and was particularly concerned about Lin Shu's affairs.

No, it’s better to remind Lin Shu to be careful.

As for the life and death of others, he has no business.

He walked to the desk, spread out a piece of white paper, and just after writing a few words, he crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground.

"This woman always goes against him, she deserves to suffer."

After a while, he spread out another piece of paper, but still didn't start writing.

At this time, Natu'a came back.

Bumtai glanced at him and asked, "Did the cow say anything?"

"Ah? Niu?" Natu'a realized that it was Ai Rong Gaowa who was talking about it. "She said that the eldest prince has been working hard recently and should take care of himself."

"Well, has she been anywhere and met anyone in the past few days?"

"No, the princess spends most of her time in the tent. Lady Suyala came to visit her, but not for long."

"Okay, I understand. Send someone to keep an eye on it."

Bumtai folded the letter in his hand, put it into an envelope, sealed it with lacquer, and handed it to Natu'a, "You find a way to have this letter delivered to Shu'er."

"Yes. Ah? That Central Plains woman?" Natu'a's hand holding the envelope paused, and for a moment he wondered if he had heard it wrong.

He knew that the eldest prince had feelings for that woman, but hadn't he recently changed his nature and been serious about doing big things? Why did he suddenly want to send a letter to that woman?

"What? Do you have any objections?" Bumtai glanced at him.

"Grand Prince, why do you want to write to that woman?"

Natu'a thought about that day on the battlefield. If it weren't for the hostage Lin Shu to delay him, Yan Lie would really have killed Bumtai.

"I have my reasons for doing this, just do as I say. I remember there are some top-quality blood swallows in the warehouse, have someone bring them to her."

Bumtai's words shocked Natu'a again. It was not enough to send a letter, he also had to send blood swallows.

What happened to the eldest prince?

After everyone left, Bumutai lay on the felt couch, next to the pillow where Lin Shu had slept, although there was no trace of her scent on it.

But as long as he slept in this big tent, Bumtai felt extremely safe and secure. He almost always slept until he woke up naturally. Sometimes he even felt that there didn't seem to be much point in arguing.

. . . . . . . . .

Yanqing Department.

After hearing the whole story, Hu Taiji's expression changed several times, from shock at first to anger later, and his mood was mixed. Mingzhu had previously sworn that it had nothing to do with the current situation, but he felt that her expression was not right at that time, thinking that she was frightened, but it turned out that she was guilty.

"Mingzhu, now that things have come to this, why don't you tell the truth? I beg the Khan to forgive me and give me a lighter sentence."

"Father, I... I didn't do it. What is there to explain?" Mingzhu bit her lip and looked at Yan Lie, panic flashing in her eyes.

"Snapped."

A crisp sound rang out in the tent.

"It's already this time, and you're still being stubborn? Why are these things in your hands? Did someone force you to do this?" Hu Taiji scolded angrily.

"Father. I..."

Mingzhu wanted to resist a little longer, but when she heard him say that, her eyes rolled. She could not escape tonight anyway, so she might as well push the blame onto Helian Zhen. After all, these things were given to her by her.

"Replying to the Khan, it was Helian Zhen who taught me to do this. She hated the Queen Consort and, knowing that I loved the Khan, she came to the Yanqing tribe to seek my cooperation. As long as I helped her do this, she promised to help me and the Khan. I'm sorry, I was also bewildered for a moment and listened to her. I beg the Khan to spare my life and let me go."

After saying that, he knelt down in front of Yan Lie.

Hu Taiji also hurried forward to pay his respects.

"Great Khan, Mingzhu knows nothing about the Central Plains. She was young and was deceived by someone and did something wrong. Fortunately, the gods have blessed the Queen Consort and nothing happened. Please, Great Khan, forgive Mingzhu for the sincerity of my Yanqing tribe's submission. I will definitely strengthen her discipline and will not let her make mistakes again."

"You said that Helian Zhen wants to help you and me? What qualifications does she have to do that? Is there a part that you need to make up for? How did you drug me?" A hint of murderous intent flashed across Yan Lie's eyes.

Mingzhu confessed everything Helian Zhen taught her that day.

Yan Lie didn't expect that it was the pile of firewood next to the tent, or his own negligence, that gave them the opportunity to take advantage of.

Looking at the people kneeling below,

"Bu Re, take him back and keep him under guard. We will deal with him according to the clan rules tomorrow."

"Great Khan, please spare my life!" Mingzhu became anxious when she heard him say that, and kowtowed to Yan Lie while crying.

Hu Taiji walked up to him, bowed deeply to him,

"Great Khan, please forgive my daughter this time. As long as you can let her go, I can agree to any conditions you ask."
