"By the way, sir, you didn't say what was the matter with me coming to me so late," Nurhachi said.

Zhang Fan heard him say this, but he felt good, he didn't ask about it here, he said it himself, but this saved Zhang Fan a lot of things, so he immediately said: "I do have some things to ask you, to be exact, there are some things I want to ask you,"

"I don't know if the adults have anything to ask Nurhachi, but it doesn't hurt to ask, Nurhachi must know everything," Nurhachi said without hesitation, after all, Zhang Fan left a good impression on him when he met him for the first time, making him feel that Zhang Fan was a trustworthy person, a Ming Dynasty man worthy of the trust of a foreigner like him, a daimyo official worthy of the trust of a foreigner like him, when Nurhachi's father and grandfather were mistakenly killed by the Ming army, and Nurhachi was unremarkable. At first, he didn't plan to listen to what Zhang Fan told him at the beginning, and go to the capital of that strange country to find him, but he, and even his family, just thought that what Zhang Fan said was just a kind word.

But he can't stay in Liaodong anymore, not because he can't live alone, but he has other plans, he doesn't want to stay in that sad place anymore, even if there are still his relatives there, but he doesn't want to stay, that will only make him more sad, and most importantly, he wants revenge, of course, the object is not the Ming Dynasty that killed his father and grandfather, but the instigator of the whole incident in Liaodong, his enemy, Nurhachi and his own maternal grandfather - Wang Gao.

The outside world may be very complicated for a ten-year-old foreign child like him, he knows that he is likely to be lost outside, but if he stays in the ministry, then he will not have a chance at all, and Wang Gao will definitely suppress him in every way.

After the unaccompanied Nurhachi came to the capital, he was even more confused by the prosperity of the largest capital in the world, he saw a lot of cold eyes and indifference along the way, he was worried that Zhang Fan would not be as enthusiastic as he said at the time to help him, he was worried that Zhang Fan would immediately turn himself away once he knew what difficulties he had.

At the first time he learned that Zhang Fan was not in the capital, he even thought that Zhang Fan was deliberately avoiding him, but when Zhang Fan's family warmly received him, he didn't care that he was a foreigner at all, and he didn't even let him change his outfit to not let them lose face; When the warm clothes and the abundant food were placed in front of him, Nurhachi really wanted to cry, but he didn't, he was grateful and didn't do anything that would disgrace his manly dignity, but his heart was already surrounded by tears of emotion at that moment.

All in all, Nurhachi was very grateful to Zhang Fan in his heart, so the sentence just now was not a casual answer, but an expression of his true feelings.

Zhang Fan didn't know that he thought of so much in an instant, but when he saw that Nurhachi was so cooperative, he didn't say anything more, and asked directly: "You have been with Jun'er recently, and he really regards you as his best friend, but can you tell me what he has been thanking for recently?"

Zhang Fan's question silenced Nurhachi, who was going to "know everything", he knew the beginning and end of everything, but he couldn't answer, why, it's very simple, because of the word "friend".

Zhang Fan said to Nurhachi, in addition to being his savior, more like his father, Nurhachi only has infinite gratitude and worship for Zhang Fan in his heart, but Zhu Yijun, that was the first friend he met outside.

Speaking of Zhu Yijun's feeling to Nurhachi, as the inheritor of a country, he is not as proud and domineering as the children of the leaders of his tribe that Nurhachi has seen, as if his father and grandfather are the heads of the tribe because they are so proud, Nurhachi's grandfather is also the head, but he never feels any pride, on the contrary, he always has some panic, he feels that since he is the child of the head, then the usual behavior and deeds must be decent, maybe in the future, I'm going to be in that position, and that means I'm going to have a huge responsibility.

And when he met Zhu Yijun, he found that Zhu Yijun didn't like to be the child of the "head" of the Ming Dynasty, he felt that Zhu Yijun's father was in charge of such a large land, so once the burden fell on Zhu Yijun in the future, it would mean a greater responsibility, and he thought that Zhu Yijun would be so unhappy to become the heir because of this, and at this point, he felt that Zhu Yijun was very similar to himself, although the reason why Zhu Yijun didn't like it was just that his identity had too many constraints, Zhu Yijun can't play freely, but Nurhachi doesn't know this.

Although Nurhachi does not hate Zhu Yijun in this regard, after all, the two of them are from two nationalities, and there will still be differences in some aspects, especially when he asked what Zhu Yijun would do, and the answer he got turned out to be the word "reading", Nurhachi immediately had a contempt for Zhu Yijun.

And when Nurhachi performed his martial arts in front of the Ming Prince, who revealed weakness both inside and outside, and wanted to show off himself or humiliate Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun did not show any dissatisfaction or disdain, or died to save face, and insisted on performing martial arts or something by himself, Zhu Yijun became interested in Nurhachi being so "strong" at such a young age, and even Zhu Yijun gave a high opinion to the entire Jurchen tribe. This reaction surprised Nurhachi at the same time, but also made him feel ashamed, for himself so pretentious want to humiliate others, but others are not ashamed at all, but praised, Nurhachi felt guilty for the first time in his life, but after the guilt, what he brought was the mutual appreciation between him and Zhu Yijun, he began to feel that what Zhu Yijun read was not useless books, he felt that those books made Zhu Yijun have a feeling of tolerance, and this kind of tolerance is not uncommon in their clan, But only the oldest and wisest people can show it all the time, but Nurhachi saw this kind of thing in Zhu Yijun, an eight-year-old child, which made him very surprised and ashamed.

He began to re-examine Zhu Yijun, and found that this was a person who was worthy of associating as his own Ama and Marfa (grandfather) had said to himself, and at the same time, he also began to re-examine this Ming Dynasty, which was heavy on literature and light on martial arts, and seemed to be weak, and then he began to find that this nation and this land were invincible, and they were rich; They are highly populated; And most importantly, under the call of this knowledge, their resistance will be deadly, as the saying goes, "those who are stunned are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are horizontal are afraid of not dying", although it sounds very cheesy, but it is this cheesiness that illustrates this very well.

So, he began to really regard Zhu Yijun as his friend, and when they played together, he would give Zhu Yijun some martial arts, although Zhu Yijun really didn't have any talent for this, and couldn't learn it immediately, but he was very hard working and persistent, but Nurhachi never laughed at him, but admired his perseverance and patiently handed him over, and Zhu Yijun would also personally hand over Nurhachi to read and write, compared to those lecturers, even Zhang Fan was more patient with his teachings, and Zhu Yijun was like him, He never laughed at Nurhachi for not being able to learn words right away, but still taught patiently, which made him very grateful, of course, because of this incident, Nurhachi became the most genuine protégé of the Son of Heaven in the future and was jealous of others, which is not mentioned for the time being.

In this way, the two have become very good friends, inseparable good friends, sometimes it is this kind of childhood friend, this kind of friend made in the most innocent heart will become the most unbreakable relationship, and even affect people's lives.

In any case, the two now regard each other as bosom friends, but Zhang Fan is now asking Nurhachi to tell him something about his friend, although Nurhachi, who is familiar with what happened, feels that what has happened these days is not a big deal, and there is nothing to say to others, but Zhu Yijun once told him that he should not tell others, and Zhang Fan's current request seems to him to be simply asking him to betray his best friend.

So, Nurhachi, a ten-year-old child of the Jurchen tribe, is now confused, he doesn't know what to do now, if Nurhachi encountered such a problem before, he would definitely not think about it, and directly answer Zhang Fan's question, after all, for him in the past, the elder is respected, even if it is Zhu Yijun, his best friend, for Zhang Fan's inquiry of the elder, he will immediately tell what happened.

But when he learned some things about culture, some things about integrity, and then he read some books and made a friend like Zhu Yijun, Nurhachi found that his concept had changed, and he couldn't answer Zhang Fan's question anymore, which gave him a feeling of "loyalty and filial piety can't be both", although the description may be a little wrong, but for today's Nurhachi, he can only think of this.

Shaking his head, Nurhachi looked at Zhang Fan's eyes and said, "My lord, I'm afraid...... I can't tell you what happened, but rest assured, it's not a big deal, and there won't be anything wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhang Fan was a little strange when he heard this, and asked: "Even if the matter is really not a big deal, but I will ask you because I care about Jun'er, and why don't you tell me, you must know that the reason why I ask this is for Jun'er's good,"

Nurhachi shook his head and said: "Your Highness is my good friend, for friends, the important thing is not only righteousness, but also keeping promises, I promised Your Highness that I will not mention this matter to anyone, including your lordship, then I will never say it, this is a man's promise, and I will never betray my friend,"

When Zhang Fan heard him say this, he felt that his head was bigger again, and it seemed that he still had to work harder to make this tenacious Nurhachi speak.
