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

Yan Lie looked at Lin Shu and smiled, his face full of smugness.

"Haha, how is my brother Helian Tao?" Huqitu asked with concern.

"Don't worry, Khan. Since the princess was found, Balin Khan's health has been getting better day by day."

"Okay, that's good. The difficulties are only temporary. As long as we unite, the coalition forces have nothing to fear."

Yan Lie nodded, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over.

"When I came here, Balin Khan asked me to give this letter to the Great Khan."

"Oh?"

Huqitu took the letter and began to read it.

After a moment, he burst into laughter.

"My good brother-in-law, he always remembers me for good things. He's just the same as before."

Turning to look at Lin Shu, he was full of admiration.

"I didn't expect Miss Lin to have such a skill. My good brother told me in the letter that the crossbow you made can shoot over eighty feet. When this is over, when you return, let me find a trustworthy craftsman to go back with you and learn how to make that crossbow."

Lin Shu felt a little embarrassed. "Chahahan, thank you for your compliment. I'm just offering my appreciation. I'm glad I can help you all."

"Okay, okay. You must be tired after all this travel. Let the servants take you downstairs to rest first. We will discuss the important matters tomorrow."

Yan Lie and Lin Shu bowed to Huqitu together and followed the servants to other tents.

The tents were arranged near the main tent, and there were guards around them.

Yan Lie glanced around, then took Lin Shu in his arms.

"It seems Chaha Khan has made all the arrangements. This is good. Tomorrow, when I'm not around, just wait for me in the big tent. Don't go out. If you need anything, just find Bu Re."

Lin Shu glanced at the person following behind him and nodded.

Ever since the last lesson, she no longer dares to run around alone.

Not only did he cause trouble for Yan Lie, but he also suffered losses.

When I think of Bumtai's two pig's trotters, I want to chop him off.

As soon as we entered the tent, the servants brought us food.

Lin Shu looked at the fat and lean mutton in front of him, without moving, but just picked up the bread on the side.

Seeing this, Yan Lie waved to the servant, took out some money from his pocket, and asked him to find some beef or pheasant.

"Don't bother, Yan Lie, I'll just eat this."

"Haha, it's no problem. You're too skinny. You need to eat some meat."

Otherwise, how could these little arms and legs withstand it? Yan Lie didn't say this out loud.

Lin Shu couldn't persuade him and could only let him go.

. . . . . . . . . .

On the other side, Bumtai had just gotten on the felt couch and was about to rest.

Natu'a came in hastily,

"Your Highness, our people just came over and said that a group of people came to the Chaha tribe last night. They vaguely saw that there was a woman in the group. It was too dark at night, so we couldn't be sure, so we came to report it first."

After hearing this, Bumtai sat up straight in an instant, his eyes shining.

It seems that the gods heard my voice.

He quickly asked, "Have you found out who it is?"

Natu'a shook his head.

"The guards are all Huqitu's close associates. Those who have come in the past few days have been taken directly to the vicinity of the main tent. Our people have no way of getting close."

"Haha, there's no way to get close? Huqitu really went to great lengths for the Balin tribe this time."

Bumtai rubbed his fingers.

"How about this? You find someone to go outside the camp and call Nuomin over to me tomorrow?"

Natu'a didn't understand. Why did they call a woman here when they were doing serious business?

Bumutai looked at him without moving, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"Sometimes, if we let women do some things, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Natu'a probably understood what he meant and was a little dazed.

After all, she was a woman he had been in love with, so how could he just give her away? Besides, that woman named Nuomin seemed to be deeply in love with the eldest prince.

Much better than that Central Plains woman.

After Natu'a left, Bumtai also lost his sleepiness.

Put on your robe and leave the tent,

Walking under the starry sky, the image of me catching up with her by the river appeared in my mind.

Is she now also like she was back then, blushing around another person...

. . . . . . . .

The next morning, Natu'a came with Nomin.

"I've met the eldest prince."

"Nuomin is here. No need to be polite. Did you have a good rest last night?"

Bumtai's tone was gentle, a tone he had never given himself before.

My heart suddenly started pounding.

Bumtai waved to her, and Nuomin immediately understood.

Walk over to him and kneel down.

Bumtai slowly raised the chin of the person in front of him and looked at her carefully. She was indeed quite pretty.

It would be a shame not to make good use of it.

Seeing Bumtai's ambiguous behavior, Nuomin was nervous and excited, thinking that he had changed his mind because of his good intentions.

"I have something I need you to do. Are you willing?" Bumtai said in a gentle tone.

"Please... please give your orders, Your Highness." Nuomin was a little disappointed. It seemed that he was being too sentimental again.

"Well, that's great. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly after this is done." Bumutai picked up the loose hair by her ear and wrapped it behind her ear.

Facing the handsome man so close to her, Nuomin's cheeks turned slightly red.

Bumtai beckoned her with his finger, and Nuomin immediately leaned over to whisper,

To outsiders, it can be as ambiguous as possible.

After a long time... Nuomin's face turned from red to white.

I looked at the man in front of me in disbelief. I didn't expect... He... He actually... wanted me...

Bumtai also saw resistance on her face, but where could he find the right person to come over now?

Isn't this Nuomin determined to follow him?

As long as I can do this job well, it would be like having another concubine in my account, and I can treat her well with good food and drink, right?

I won't be on equal terms with her.

"Grand Prince, you know exactly what I feel, so why...why do you do this?"

Bumutai chuckled, his eyes became somewhat cold, in stark contrast to the gentle and affectionate eyes just now.

"Nuomin, I think you should be someone who knows how to advance and retreat. Since you want to stay with me, I can give you this opportunity. Just do whatever I ask you to do, and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Of course, if you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything just now and leave."

Nuomin bit her lip and a hint of despair flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I... I understand... Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will definitely complete your mission." She lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly.

Bumutai nodded with satisfaction and patted her shoulder.

"Do your job well, and you will benefit from it in the future."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Natua to take his men out.

Nuomin looked at him with mixed feelings, then turned around and left with Natua.

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

Being in a strange place, Lin Shu didn't sleep well all night.

When I opened my eyes, the place around me was no longer warm.

Yawning, I stood up and looked at the unfamiliar tent.

Breakfast was already placed on the table, and toiletries were placed on the other side.

It goes without saying that it must have been arranged by Yan Lie.

"Miss Lin, are you there?" A male voice sounded at the door.
