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

"Bumutai!"

"Bumutai!"

The two said in unison.

"How dare this bastard come here. What does it have to do with him that my woman is pregnant? Why should he worry about it for nothing!!" Yan Lie slammed the table hard, his eyes seemed to be frozen. He actually dared to covet Shu'er.

"Well, that's right, that's right."

Lin Shu also nodded wildly indignantly, and quietly moved the bird's nest a little bit with her little hand.

"Shu'er, don't be afraid. I will definitely protect you! I'll go throw this thing away first, and then I'll ask someone to get you some bird's nest."

As he said this, he was about to pick up the brocade box on the table.

Lin Shu quickly held his hand down.

"Ahem, Yan Lie, don't worry about the bird's nest for now. Look, his letter also mentioned something else, about the envoy from Qi. Do you have any thoughts on that?"

"Did he think the Qi envoy would harm us? Did he know we were planning to form an alliance with Qi, and so deliberately sent such a letter?"

Lin Shu thought for a moment.

"The odds are about 50-50. Bumutai certainly doesn't want to see us form an alliance. But he mentioned weapons, so the envoy must be here for that. At first, I was only thinking about how you could protect yourself, but I overlooked one issue: possessing a treasure is a crime."

"The matter of the weapons is a fact now and cannot be changed. Let's take it one step at a time." Yan Lie gently extended his arm and wrapped it around her shoulders. "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you."

Lin Shu nodded slightly. "Well, Tubu has also come up with something new recently. Ask him not to tell anyone about it for now."

"Okay. I'll go to the main camp and discuss this with everyone later."

Seeing Yan Lie was about to pick up the brocade box again, Lin Shu quickly took his arm.

"Hey, husband, was Bumutai deliberately provoking you in that letter just now? Think about it, he must have known that the content of this letter would eventually reach you, so he wrote it that way on purpose. If you're really angry, you've been tricked by him."

Yan Lie squinted his eyes at her, then glanced at the brocade box on the table.

"You're right. Let the military doctor come and check it out. If there's no problem, then how about accepting the bird's nest? I'll write him a letter later."

"Haha, that's fine. Don't refuse something that comes to your doorstep."

Lin Shu let out a long sigh. It wasn't that he had never seen bird's nest before, but he was just craving it.

Soon Donzhu came back and told them that a man had brought a box of bird's nest in the morning to nourish the Queen Mother. They were not there at the time, so the guard put the thing on the table.

"I didn't expect that the people from the Soha tribe came here as if it were a deserted place. It seems that the defense of the Bahrain tribe needs to be improved." Yan Lie frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Well, you can't really blame them. With so many people coming and going in the camp before, it's understandable that they let their guard down for a while. You just need to tighten things up later."

"If I hadn't strengthened the defense of the inner camp, they would have been able to come into our tent as if it were their own home. What if they took you away again?" Yan Lie's heart was gripped with worry when he thought of Lin Shu being captured before.

"Tsk, now that you have a child, you're equivalent to a married woman. Those young and beautiful girls are not as attractive as married women!" Lin Shu rolled his eyes at him. If he continued talking, this guy would get jealous again.

"Shu'er, I always feel that you treat Bumutai differently? Are you also in love with him? That won't do. Your heart and your body can only belong to me."

"Oh, no. What a mess you have in your mind again. When did I have him in my heart?"

Yan Lie hugged her slender waist tightly, staring at her with deep eyes.

"So, I was about to throw those things away, and you seemed reluctant to do so?"

"Oh my god, I'm a little reluctant to throw it away. It would be a waste to throw it away. Do you know how expensive bird's nest is? Even in my house, a whole box costs a lot of money."

Yan Lie was instantly deflated. "I didn't think it through. Bumutai is good-looking, strategic, and knows how to please women, unlike me, who's a rough guy. After all, you've been together for a few days, so it's normal to have some differences. I understand."

Nani! When did this bastard start talking so green tea?

I must have overthought it.

"What are you talking about? Oh, it's just a box of bird's nest! I don't want it, but don't throw it away. You can give it to someone else. It's really expensive."

After hearing this, Yan Lie's eyes brightened up again, revealing a hint of triumph and nodding vigorously.

"Okay, Shu'er, I'll do whatever you say."

Lin Shu: …

Damn it, you did this on purpose.

. . . . . . . . . .

Yan Lie had lunch in the big tent at noon and left, taking the brocade box with him.

He called a military doctor to examine the body and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he took it to Geshu and asked him to take it back and give it to his wife.

Geshu knew that this thing was precious, and thanked Yan Lie repeatedly.

"Haha, it's just a small matter. We are all family."

Yan Lie's mouth was stretched to the back of his ears. His woman didn't want anything from Bumutai!

Isn't it just bird's nest? He has already sent people to the Chaha tribe to find a solution.

After chatting with Geshu for a while, we got back to the point.

"How are you going to deal with the Helian Zhen incident?"

After hearing this, Geshu's expression immediately became serious.

"Great Khan, I've thought about this. Helian Zhen's status is special. We should gather the high-ranking members of the clan together for a joint trial. With everyone's witnesses, there will be no room for gossip. As for the punishment, if we kill her, I'm afraid the late Great Khan's soul will not rest in peace. Let's use flogging instead. Thirty lashes in public and a year of menial labor as a warning to others. What do you think?"

Yan Lie took a sip of milk tea without even raising his head.

"It's up to you to decide on this matter. Anyway, I don't want to see her again before Shu'er and I leave. Mingzhu, how do you plan to deal with this?"

"Replying to the Khan, Mingzhu was an accomplice in this case and knew about it beforehand. Since Helian Zhen is not dead, there is no reason for her to be executed. She should be punished the same as Helian Zhen."

Yan Lie's deep eyes raised slightly. If he hadn't promised Shu'er to spare her life, he would have wanted to kill her.

"Okay, let's do as you say. We need to handle this as soon as possible. One more thing: the Qi envoy is very interested in the weapons Shu'er has made. Send more people to guard the workshop and tell the people inside to keep their mouths shut. Shu'er has a training class nearby. Find a separate place for them and they can go there from now on."

"Yes, Khan."

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Soha tribe.

Qin Yue said he wanted to rest for two days, and Bumtai did not disturb him. He only ordered the servants to serve him wholeheartedly.

The people sent to Bahrain have not returned yet.

There is always a bad feeling in my heart, which makes me feel uneasy.

I picked up a book from the shelf and read it.

After reading a few pages, I found that the position of the book seemed to be wrong.

It was clearly not placed here before.
