She was hugged by Kublai Khan, and her small body seemed to be clamped by iron pincers. She could only save herself in this way.
"Don't be afraid, Princess Neighbor, the Great Khan will not kill you."
All the kings in the big tent laughed and comforted her.
"The Great Khan is kind, why would he care about his own niece?"
Kublai Khan also smiled, patted his lost neighbor on the back again, and said with a kind smile: "Don't be afraid anymore. I know what you have suffered. It doesn't matter. I will kill Li Xia to avenge you."
.”
The bereaved neighbor felt vaguely that this was not right, but he didn't know how to respond, so he had to cry in response.
"Go, go to Ke Dun." Kublai Khan finally let her go.
Soon a maid came over and took her to Queen Chabi's tent.
In the tent, the smile on Kublai Khan's face gradually solidified, and he said coldly: "Li Xia killed my brother and defiled my brother's daughter. I must skin him off."
Everyone in the tent froze, and everyone shivered involuntarily.
At this time, no one understood what Kublai Khan’s murderous intention was...
~~
At night.
"What did the Khan say?"
Chabi suddenly knelt down in front of Kublai Khan, pulled his robe, and said in surprise: "Why is this happening? She is just a child, or a daughter."
"Do you believe it? Keep her here. Once Li Xia gets the upper hand, she will help Li Xia at all costs, and even confuse the people around her. Haven't you seen what Li Zengbo does these days? How many people are fighting against me?
Centrifuged?"
Kublai Khan closed his eyes and said: "As soon as I saw her eyes, I knew what she was thinking. She thought I killed Brother Meng, and she wanted to have a son with Li Xia. This is a little maid, keep it.
She must be a disaster."
"But Great Mongolia has never had this tradition, Great Khan." Chabi advised: "Women and children are never killed on the grassland..."
"A lost neighbor is not a trophy." Kublai Khan said, "She is an enemy. All the ideas in her mind are what Li Xia gave her in the past two years."
"But what will the kings think?" Chabi asked.
"I've found the reason, let go."
Chabi still refused to let go and said: "I am not protecting her, but protecting the Great Khan. The Great Khan is the greatest hero in the world, and there is no need to argue with a little girl. What this will do is destroy the Great Khan's life."
Since..."
"Do you think I'm a cruel wolf? If I hadn't been forced to this point by Li Xia, would I have the heart to attack my biological niece?"
Kublai Khan pressed Chabi's shoulders with both hands and sighed.
"In a few days, it will be the fourth year of the Zhiyuan Dynasty. Do you know why I changed the name of the country to 'Zhiyuan'? Because Brother Alibu was finally put down, I became the only Great Khan, and the Great Mongolia was finally over.
Internal fighting. But just when I was relaxed, the kings of the West Road and Li Xia held another Khulil Tai Conference, which has continued the internal fighting until now."
"It's over, Great Khan. The battle for the throne has ended today."
Chabi's tone seemed to be comforting.
Only she understood how much effort Kublai Khan spent on his position in the past three years, from the first year of Zhiyuan to the end of the third year of Zhiyuan.
He struggled with this all his life, and finally Meng Ge died, and he fought with Ali Bu Ge for another six years, and after six years it was three years.
In the past three years, those who know the inside story will say that Li Xia created a fake Great Khan in Liupan Mountain; those who don't know the inside story will inevitably spread the news that Meng Ge's son Xiliji got the support of the kings of the West and became the Great Khan.
What's even more annoying is that those tribes who know the inside story but have ulterior motives use this as an excuse to sometimes rebel and sometimes ask for rewards.
Maybe Li Xia himself didn't know how much trouble that fake Khan brought to Kublai Khan.
"Brother Meng's son is dead, and even his daughter has surrendered to the Great Khan. No one can threaten the Great Khan's position anymore."
Kublai Khan hesitated for a moment.
But when he spoke, his tone was still cold.
"If I don't kill her, I'll feel uneasy."
Following these words, Chabi stood up and returned to his tent without any further persuasion.
She opened the curtain and saw her dead neighbor lying on the carpet, with a pair of scissors stuck in his chest and blood still flowing.
Chabi closed his eyes, opened them again, stepped forward and took a deep look at his missing neighbor.
"As young as a flower." She sighed, thinking of her daughter.
It's a pity that the struggle for power will not show mercy to anyone just because they are as old as a flower.
Cha'er could only stretch out his hand and gently close his eyes for his lost neighbor.
Kublai Khan walked out of the tent, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the nine-pin white silk he had just captured.
Compared with the dragon chair of the Emperor of the Central Plains, he still prefers this white and sacred white silk. And the only thing that he likes about the position of emperor is the inheritance system.
In short, all of Meng Ge's children are now dead, and the battle for the throne is finally over.
The grassland will usher in a new era.
~~
All night long, the important ministers in the Yuan army camp were busy announcing to all parts of the world that the Xiliji rebellion had been put down.
At this time of year, this is very helpful to calm people's minds.
At dawn, Kublai Khan summoned everyone and sadly announced the cause of his neighbor's death.
"She was bullied by Li Xia and became pregnant. After she came back, she felt ashamed of her ancestors and couldn't think about it..."
Tacha'er, Hu Lahu'er and other clan kings heard this and thought that this is not the custom on the grassland at all. Since they are pregnant with a child, they will be born into the same population. If it is Li Xia's seed, then it is even more important to have a child. It is useful.
very.
What the Han officials were thinking about was how to cover up the matter so as not to damage the dignity of the Yuan royal family.
There was silence in the big tent for a moment.
Only then did everyone remember the war.
"Did Xingqing Mansion take it?"
"Your Majesty, we are still fighting in the streets."
Kublai Khan did not get angry, but said: "Li Zengbo is a handsome man, who is going to recruit him?"
"I am willing to go." Zhang Wenqian came out and said.
"Okay, bring my sincerity and let him understand my ambition."
"I accept the decree." Zhang Wenqian kowtowed deeply.
Zhang Yi came out and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Wen'an's battle report has just been sent, saying that Lian Xixian appeared south of Qingtongxia."
"how many people?"
"It's not clear yet, but it's likely that the main force of the Tang army in Gansu is here."
Kublai Khan stood up, looked back and forth on his large map, and said in a deep voice: "Send the scout horse to Yinshan again. The previous scout horse will report to me immediately when he returns."
"I accept the decree."
"Zhang Hongfan, what do you think?"
"I guessed wrong before." Zhang Hongfan was still thinking about the news sent by Yang Wen'an, and said thoughtfully: "Now it seems that Li Xia has no possibility of defeating the Western Region army. So is he crossing Yinshan Mountain to take a detour to return? He might
Orlu, who will sneak attack on King Anxi, replenishes the baggage..."
"Report!"
Another person rushed outside the tent and reported loudly: "Uncle Li Zeng abandoned the city and broke out to the west. Marshal Hulanji requested to send troops to intercept him."
"..."
During the discussion, Zhang Hongfan frowned.
He did not ask for orders to pursue Li Zengbo, but looked at the map and fell into deep thought.
Why did Li Zengbo escape?
This old marshal of the Tang Army was obviously prepared to live and die with the city, otherwise he would have taken advantage of the loss of his neighbor and escaped yesterday.
In other words, the change happened last night.
It wasn't that Li Xia was back. The scouts had traveled hundreds of miles around, but there was no trace of the Tang army at all.
It could only be that Lian Xixian sent someone to send a message to Li Zengbo. What could be sent to make a man who wanted to live and die with the city abandon the city and flee?
There was no point in escaping. With the army encircling them, it was impossible for Li Zengbo and Lian Xixian to join together. At most, a small number of Tang troops could hide westward into the Helan Mountains.
There is another desert to the west of Helan Mountain. The Tang army will definitely not be able to cross without the baggage, unless they meet up with Li Xia... This comes back again. Lian Xixian did not lead troops to meet Li Xia. Li Xia is probably destroyed in the desert.
.
The Tang army only had so many troops, what tricks could it possibly pull off?
After thinking about it, Zhang Hongfan glanced at Kublai Khan. Then, he followed Kublai Khan's gaze and looked outside the tent, and saw the captured nine-blade white paper.
In an instant, Zhang Hongfan trembled and almost blurted out.
"No way?"
"Report! King Tuohu reports urgently!"
A Mongolian general rushed into the big tent, threw himself on his knees on the carpet, and said: "Great Khan, Tuohu Great Khan urgently reports, Uluru Hunai..."
"Don't rush to say it."
Kublai Khan suddenly turned his head and stopped the battle report that was about to be revealed, leaving only one name for everyone to guess...
~~
Amidst the wind and snow, the procession stretched endlessly.
Under a big flag, the knight in black fur turned back and glanced lightly at Duo Siman, who was walking alongside her.
"So, after you left the Houtao Grassland, you never came to the Red Tide again?"
"yes."
"I hope it's a son."
"It doesn't matter." Duo Siman said: "He likes her even if she is a daughter. We can always give birth to a son at such a young age."
"You don't just have children because you like them."
Wu Lu suddenly lifted the felt hat on his head, reined in the reins, and solemnly warned Duo Siman.
"It's for inheritance."
Duo Si said nonchalantly: "Is inheritance important?"
"Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me." Uluru Khunai seemed to dislike this daughter very much, and his tone became colder. "You know in your heart what your son can inherit."
"I don't know, whatever my husband gives me is what I give."
The mother and daughter then fell silent.
After a long time, Uluru suddenly said somewhat abruptly: "You and Mubalasha...are not the same father."
"I know."
No, Duo Siman deserves it very simply.
She might be pretending, but at least on the surface she didn't think it was a big deal.
Looking from the wind and snow, there is no end in sight for the teams in front and behind. This is the strength of her husband and mother, which brings her a strong sense of security, so that the secret of her life experience can no longer hurt her...
Maybe.
"My father is Brother Meng." Duo Siman said, "I am the daughter of the real Mongolian Khan."
Wu Lu suddenly sneered, his eyes extremely disdainful.
She doesn't like that past.
"Since you know, don't tell me about Zhenjin and Mang Ge La before I tell you."
"good."
The snow is still falling, as if it never stops. Even if it stops this year, it will still fall next year. It’s like the old battle for the throne has passed, and a new battle for the throne has come again...
