This is a 'stick' that is not exquisitely made.

I don’t know how to describe it, so I will call it “wooden stick” for the time being.

Its weight is not heavy, and the material should be common wood. It should not be made for a long time because it feels rough when held in the hand. In terms of thickness, it is about as thick as a boy of a seven or eight-year-old. It is empty inside and can be stuffed into a finger.

As you get closer, you can still smell a pungent smell of pig iron and gunpowder.

Although it was very light now, the smell impressed him too deeply. So at the first moment, he was sure that this was the weapon that the horse bandits attacked them last night.

"This artifact is not something that ordinary craftsmen can make! I heard that the Han people in the south have the custom of setting off fireworks on New Year's Eve. When it erupts, the light shines brightly and shines for ten miles. It seems to be somewhat similar to this thing!" Wulutus saw that Zheburig looked carefully and slowly expressed his guess.

"Fireworks?" Zheburige has always lived on the grassland. Although he followed the army to fight south, it was not the time to set off fireworks. So he had never seen the legendary fireworks.

But this did not prevent him from reminiscing more from Ulutus’s words!

"If this artifact was really brought from the horse bandits, then their origins--" The more Zerbrige thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

Ulutus looked at it and quickly made a color at Abatu.

Then Abatu cooperated and stepped forward tacitly, pondering for a moment, saying, "Actually, when the bandits broke into the grassland, we captured a bandit. At that time, he followed Brother Six's daughter, Wurina. After being arrested by us, he was still stubborn at first, but after being tortured, he still gave it all.

According to him, they were originally farmers who farmed from the border between Dongliao and Dongzhen Kingdom, but in early spring, the two countries suddenly fought and had to be displaced. Later, when they met Meng'an, who recruited refugees, they rushed over and surrendered to him."

In the Jurchen language, the meaning of Meng'an is Qian.

When the Jurchens started their family, Meng'an was equivalent to the current military organization of the Mongols. However, the number of people was unreliable. It was not until 1114 that the Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda clearly stipulated that three hundred households were one mock, and ten mocks were one mock.

If that's the case, the tribe of the Heart-Devouring King is quite large.

Of course, with the complete decline of the Jin Dynasty, the Northeast had already lost control, and the original Mouke Meng'an system also failed. Therefore, the other party's real staffing was definitely not full!

Otherwise, at the beginning of the rebellion, we would not have recruited refugees.

"So, the other party may have been sent by Dongzhen or Dongliao Kingdom?" Princess Ejitana, who had been listening, couldn't help but interrupt.

Although Mongolian women are only dependent on men's property, they are not as low as women in the Central Plains. When Yegu Gang died and the tribe lacks backbone, she can speak on behalf of the tribe.

"I didn't say that!" Wulutus thought to himself, but nodded in agreement and said, "Now the great emperor is leading the westward expedition, our Eastern Sect King has also been drawn to a large number of troops. In the case of pine outside and weak inside, it is not impossible for someone to have a different intention." Dongliao and Dongzhen are both small countries that surrender to Mongolia. Among them, Dongliao was the Khitan Yelu Liuge as the king. When the country was founded, they were also supported by the Mongols. Dongzhen was established by the Jurchen Pu Xian Wannu. He was originally the Liaodong Xuanfu envoy of the Jin Kingdom, and later rebelled against the Jin Kingdom and became independent. However, after surrendering to Mongolia, he also had a transcendent of rebellion and independence.

Now it is Genghis Khan's expedition to the west, and many soldiers on the grassland have been drawn. It is not surprising that Pu Xian Wannu has strange thoughts.

"As far as we know, Meng'an acted ruthlessly and was known as the "Heart-Devouring King". Every time he captured a tribe, he would feed on the nobles' hearts. The villain also went to see the Sixth Prince's tent, and the prince's heart was indeed hollowed out by the thief chief." Abatu and Ulutus cooperated well and had a good acting skills. Speaking of this, they also made a chilling expression.

"But weren't the horse bandits driven away by the king before?" Ejitana said in confusion: "I heard that the group of horse bandits suffered a great loss at the hands of the king, and lost more than a hundred cavalry!"

Ulutus was about to explain, but Zheburige had already spoken: "But the king had gathered troops to suppress bandits the day before yesterday, although only five hundred cavalry were sent--" When he said this, he suddenly remembered the cavalry sent out and shouted: "Boboqin Nayan was sent by the king to suppress bandits last night and has not come back yet. I am afraid that there will be a lot of danger."

"If the group of horse bandits have a good origin and act ruthlessly, the king will fail to send troops to clear the goods and they will suddenly attack at night, and the explanation will be made." Ejitana thought of more and analyzed.

When Ulutus listened, he was almost applauding!

These two are really a magical assist!

Basically, as long as he and Abatu start to make things happen, they will justify themselves. This is fine, Ulutus doesn't need to say it himself, and the credibility will be higher.

But in order to enhance the persuasion, Ulutus pretended to be a difficult tone and said: "In fact, there is a simple way to verify whether it was done by the bandit."

Seeing Ejitana and Tzebrigdubbaba looking at him, Ulutus hesitated and said, "Assay for autopsy!".

Because Yegu died suddenly, the tribe did not have a ready-made coffin for a while. Now it is wrapped in white cloth and placed in a simple mourning hall. Fortunately, when the "Ma Bandit" left last night, a concubine was missed. After the Ma Bandit left, the concubine took out Yegu's body in time before the fire started.

Although the grassland people were not as awe of the dead as the Han people in the south, the autopsy still exceeded the bottom line of people's psychological acceptance. Therefore, Ejitana did not agree at the first time, but asked someone to find the only living resident in the king's tent last night - Maisa, a question.

"Ke Dun!" Maisa, wearing a colorful felt hat, had swollen eyes. After being brought in, she looked at Ejitana with a little joy at first, but after noticing that there were strangers in the tent, she quickly calmed her joy and saluted Ejitana timidly.

"Well, you get up first!" Ejitana said in a calm voice: "When the bandits left last night, did you see what they did to the prince?"

"I was very scared at that time. When the bandit rushed in, I fainted!" Maisa said with a trembling shoulder and sobbing. She seemed to recall the fear scene of her death last night.

"Barewell! The prince was in danger, you fainted!" Zheburige, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but scold him without waiting for Gitana to speak.

"Okay! Maisa is just a weak woman. It is a great achievement to rescue the prince's body. And you Yun Duchi, who usually guards the king's tent, are you roaring here?!" Ejitana seemed to be dissatisfied with the offense of Zheburige and scolded him in a very strong tone.
