"You dismiss this idea as soon as possible." Batu poured a basin of cold water over him, "Father Khan will not agree to let you marry General Zhenyuan." ”

Toya pouted sullenly, "I know, that's why I came to you for help!" ”

Batu frowned and put down the pen in his hand, "You can do other things, I can't help you with this." ”

"Father Khan has always valued you, so you can help me go and beg Father Khan!" Tuoya sat beside him, held her arms and said coquettishly: "As long as I can marry Bowen, I can do without the cattle and sheep of the marriage, and I don't want the fief of the marriage." Besides, why can you take the county lord of Qi State, and I can't marry the general of Qi State? ”

Toya looked at Batu with some grievance. After the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, she begged her father Khan to propose marriage to the emperor, but Su Heleke refused on the pretext that she was reluctant to marry far away.

Young men and women of the steppe tribes are free to socialize, but they must obtain the consent of the woman's parents before they can marry. Suhelek was also the Great Khan, and his words were of supreme authority. Toya didn't dare to argue, but secretly she didn't give up.

On the way out of the capital, she barely stayed in her carriage. She followed Si Hongbowen wherever he went, and she didn't care about the strange eyes cast by Zhiqiu's four guards.

But Sihong Bowen always had an iron face and didn't even look at himself.

Although Suhelek did not approve of Toya's idea, he did not stop her behavior of pestering Sihong Bowen. With Toya by his side, he saved himself from having to find someone to find an excuse to spy on him.

But in this way, Toya mistakenly thought that Suhelek was acquiescing to her pursuit of Sihong Bowen, and her behavior became even more bold and uninhibited.

Batu looked at his sister's beautiful face. I am also infinitely emotional. He gently grabbed Toya's shoulders and patiently persuaded: "There are so many warriors on the grassland who pursue you, and none of them is worse than General Zhenyuan, why do you need to force it?" Besides, Father Khan also intends to marry you to a Persian prince."

Toya sat up straight and shook her head angrily, "Don't mention that prince to me. He already has eleven wives, and if I marry him, it is better to marry an officer whose father Khan raised horses! ”

Batu lifted the curtain and looked out, and said in a low voice, "After all, we have Persian blood in our bodies. If it weren't for the financial support that the Persian state had given to his father Khan in recent years. Father Khan would not have unified the steppe tribes so quickly. The queen mother is a foreigner, and if she did not have the support of the Persian state and the protection of her father Khan, I am afraid that she would have been expelled by the families of other concubines long ago. ”

"The experience of the queen mother is a lesson from the past. If you marry into the Qi Kingdom. It is inevitable to suffer from this ordeal. After all, Si Hong Bowen is just a courtier. Aren't you married in the past, but you also have to be small? Although the prince of Persia already had a wife. But that is the custom of Persia, and he will not slack off on you. ”

Toya bit her lip and didn't say anything as the carriage swayed. Large tears rolled down his cheeks.

Although their mother was a queen, she was actually confined to the palace and did not set foot in the palace for more than ten years.

Suhelek was nominally to protect her from being bullied by other concubines, but in fact, it was because the current king of Persia was her own brother who grew up with her, and as long as she stayed in the steppe for a day, the Persian state would not send troops to the steppe, and would support him with rich financial resources.

The queen mother also mentioned to Toya many times that her greatest wish was to return to Persia, at least, so that her children could go back without being held hostage and coldly looked at in a foreign race.

The three siblings, Batu, Toya, and Una, were disciplined from an early age and trained in various skills in order to be able to stand out among the dozen or so children of Suhelek, to be valued by him, and to protect themselves from being bullied.

The three brothers and sisters spent their childhoods at their desks, on horseback, and in animal cages, and countless times they fell and bruised their noses and swollen faces, and were bitten and scratched by ferocious beasts.

They clearly remember that when they were children, the queen mother hugged the brother and sister more than once and cried, touching the scars on their bodies, how could a mother not feel distressed.

However, she had to be ruthless. The character of the steppe people is like that of the wolves of the steppe, bloodthirsty and ferocious, and extremely particular about the purity of blood. Aliens or half-breeds are used as lowly slaves.

Although she is the queen, she is just a pawn in the hands of the Great Khan Suhelek, a hostage.

If children are not allowed to sharpen their strong wills and harden their claws and wings from an early age, they will not be able to protect themselves in a foreign race when they grow up.

Toya fell on Batuu's lap and sobbed. She looks lively and cheerful on the surface, but in fact, she has always been depressed inside. She saw the suffering of her mother, and swore since she was a child that she would never marry a steppe man. But I don't want to marry a Persian prince.

I heard that the king of Persia had dozens of wives and countless slave girls. To them, women are like jewels adorned on waist knives, which can be replaced at any time.

Father Khan's iron cavalry swept across the steppe and was invincible, except for the border of Qi State, where he was defeated by General Zhenyuan's ironclad army. Instead of holding a grudge, she admired and was curious about General Zhenyuan.

She peeked at the information about General Zhenyuan in Batu's military tent, and he was brave, loyal, fruitful, and resolute, even if he was an enemy, Batu still gave him a very high evaluation.

What surprised her even more was that General Zhenyuan hadn't married a wife yet, and he didn't even have a concubine!

Unconsciously, she portrayed a perfect image of a man in her mind, Shangyuan Lantern Festival, Batu pointed it to him, just one glance, let her think that he was the person she wanted to marry in her life!

But her father Khan did not hesitate to refuse her request for marriage.

She knew that the queen mother wanted her to marry the prince of Persia because she wanted her to return to her own family. The Persians did not attach much importance to blood like the steppe people, as long as they were beautiful and intelligent, they could win the favor of men.

And Suhelek wanted to use her as a bargaining chip to make a deal with the Persian king in exchange for more benefits.

"Batuu, can't you really help me?" Toya burst into tears, pleading in her voice.

Batu shook his head slowly, his palm gently tapping on her shoulder.

Toya wiped a handful of tears and stood up resolutely, "I will never marry a prairie man!" Nor will he marry a Persian prince! The queen mother is right, her own things can only be guarded by herself! ”

With that, she jumped out of the carriage and ran towards her carriage at a rapid pace.

Batu closed his eyes gloomily, it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he really couldn't help! Suhelek was a man of all odds, suspicious and brutal, and he had no doubt that his father Khan would let other sons take his place.

Once he loses his current status, his mother and two younger sisters will definitely become hostage bargaining chips for the rest of his life!

So now I have to wronged Tuoya, endure it, as long as my plan is successful, no one will dare to bully them again! (To be continued......)
