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

Yan Lie glanced at Lin Shu beside him.

"I wonder what Lord Qin wants to talk to us about? I hope Lord Li can give me some advice."

"Well, I really don't know. When Lord Qin arrives, the Khan will naturally know." Li Chongguang looked impartial.

Yan Lie did not continue to ask,

"Okay, okay. Sir Li, you must have worked hard on the journey. Come into the tent and rest. I will host a welcoming banquet for you tonight."

Li Chongguang thought about it and declined politely.

"Thank you, Great Khan, for your kindness. I have to hurry back to report to Lord Qin, so I won't bother you any more."

"Master Li, why are you in such a hurry? I just want to rest for one night. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning."

"You are so polite, Great Khan. Lord Qin is still waiting for my reply in the Soha tribe, and I dare not delay."

Li Chongguang saw that the Balin tribe was inferior to the Suoha tribe in every way, and he really had no desire to stay. It would be better to go back as soon as possible. That Bumutai was very capable and made very thoughtful arrangements.

After Yan Lie sent Li Chongguang and his group away, he first sent Lin Shu back, and then went to the main camp with Geshu. It was confirmed that Qin Yue would come today, so many things had to be prepared early.

. . . . . . . . .

In the menial service camp.

Helian Zhen and Mingzhu usually live a life of luxury and have never been subjected to such punishment.

It was hot now and he wasn't wearing much to begin with. The whip had torn his clothes, revealing hideous, bright red wounds.

There are no servants here, so you have to change the dressings yourself.

Because they were both injured and had noble status in the past, the steward gave them three days to recuperate.

At first, the two were assigned to the same tent, but they didn't get along and started quarreling after just a few words.

He can't even walk steadily, but he still wants to fight.

The manager had no choice but to arrange separate tents for the two of them.

Hu Taiji has been sending people to monitor Mingzhu's movements. The fault lies with them, so it is not easy for them to plead for mercy openly.

A year of menial labor was too hard to endure, so he went to Geshu privately to ask for help in finding a solution, or he could send some gold, silver and jewelry to the Balin tribe in exchange for Mingzhu so that he could leave as soon as possible.

But all the proposals were rejected by Geshu, and finally he had no choice but to find a solution at the menial service camp.

Inside the tent, Mingzhu was lying on the felt couch with a frown on her face.

The injury on my body cannot be treated by lying on my side or lying flat. In short, no matter what posture I take, the wound will be pulled.

The curtain was lifted, and Hu Taiji and Habul saw their daughter's appearance and walked over quickly.

"Mingzhu, what's going on?"

"Father, Mother, why are you here? I missed you so much. Please save me, I don't want to stay in this place. Wuuuuu."

As soon as Mingzhu saw her relatives, tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. She sobbed as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Habul looked at the wounds on her body and felt very distressed.

"This...this is too harsh. Look at these wounds? What if they leave scars on your body in the future?"

"Who can be blamed for this? It's all her own fault."

Hu Taiji felt distressed when he saw the injuries on her body, but doing something wrong was still doing something wrong. Fortunately, Lin Shu was fine, otherwise the entire Yanqing tribe would have suffered.

Listening to her father's scolding, Mingzhu felt even more upset and cried even harder.

Habul pushed him and said, "Just keep quiet. You're obviously worried about your daughter, yet you're still saying this. If you want to scold the child, wait until she returns home."

Then he took out the bag he had brought and opened it. Inside were clean clothes, medicine for wounds, and some cakes. He directed Hu Taiji to go out and get some clean water.

"Good boy, let me clean your wound and apply some medicine on it first."

Soon, Hu Taiji came over with a basin of water, put it down and left the tent.

Habul gently took off her clothes, cleaned the blood stains on the wound bit by bit, applied medicine, changed her into clean clothes, and said earnestly,

"Good boy, after this incident, you should give up on your relationship with the Khan. I finally realized that the Khan is different from other men. He only has the Queen Consort in his heart and has no intention of marrying other women. So don't even think about getting involved with them."

Mingzhu cried and snuggled in Habul's arms.

"I understand, mother. I won't dare have such thoughts again. Believe me, I don't want to stay here. You and father, please find a way to get me out."

"Well, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that we really have no other choice. Your father has begged for everything he could, and saving your life is already the limit. Not to mention in the Balin tribe, in our Yanqing tribe, killing the leader's offspring is a very serious crime. Don't worry, your father has already made arrangements with the people in charge here, and they won't make things difficult for you. Your father will also arrange for someone to come and take care of you. Just take good care of yourself here, and let your father think of a solution after a while."

Mingzhu nodded obediently, sobbing without saying a word.

On the other side, in Helian Zhen's tent,

Yun Xihe sat beside the felt couch, and two servants were busy cleaning Helian Zhen, applying medicine, and changing her clothes.

Helian Zhen had almost no reaction throughout the whole process and let the servants manipulate her.

Yun Xihe knew that she was angry because he didn't come to see her that day, but what could he do?

Now that some things have been made clear, we can no longer proceed as before.

"Zhen'er, you really did something wrong this time. Fortunately, Yan Lie only punished you for your father's sake. You must never do anything stupid again in the future."

Helian Zhen sneered, "Who are you to me? Why do you have the right to control me? Leave now."

"Zhen'er, I know you are still angry about what happened that day, but there is nothing I can do. I begged Yan Lie, but it was useless. That's why I didn't come to see you, and I also wanted you to take this opportunity to reflect on it." Yun Xihe's tone was quite helpless.

Helian Zhen heard her words, rolled his eyes, and turned around to face her with difficulty.

"I've already suffered the consequences, so why don't you think of a way to get me out of here as soon as possible? Since Yan Lie wants to punish me, you can't help. You can at least think of a way to get me out of here."

Yun Xihe looked at her injuries, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Take good care of yourself here for now. I'll find a chance to talk to Yan Lie again. You've only been locked up for a few days, and everyone is watching you. I've already told the steward that you don't have to do anything for the time being, and these two servants will stay to take care of you. If there's anything, just send them to tell me."

Helian Zhen got anxious the moment she heard that she had to wait in this hellish place. Just when she was about to explode,

But thinking that Yun Xihe was the only one who could help him, he swallowed the words back.

After a long time, he finally uttered a word.

"Okay, everything is up to you. Just don't make me wait too long."
