Chapter 427
Today's Hadanbatel has long since faded away from the youthfulness of the past. He has been in the Central Plains for many years, and the Central Plains dialect is also very smooth.
Wu Enqi smiled and said, "You don't have to argue with me about this, I will naturally remember what should be remembered." I will never forget the help your master has given me over the years. By the way, what are you here for late tonight? β
Hadan Baatar said: "The master asked me to inform His Royal Highness the Second Prince, so that you can work hard to win the support of the Emperor of the Central Plains." Let him help you ascend to the throne of the Khan. β
Wu Enqi's good-looking baby face wrinkled when he heard this: "I also want to, but compared to my nominal nephew, my eldest brother is much stronger." Even the third and fifth royal brothers are more favored by my father than me. If the emperor wants to support one side, he won't pick me, right? β
Hadan Battle thought for a while and said, "The master said that the Central Plains people are more willing to trust their own people than foreigners. You have the affection of an uncle and nephew with him. If the emperor wants to choose a side in Mongolia to support him, he will be inclined to choose you. β
Wu Enqi was stunned when he heard this: "Is this what the Central Plains said that the non-our race must be different?" As he spoke, he laughed again, looked at Hadanbaatl and said, "Then you should tell me, I am a member of that clan?" β
Hadanbaatle glanced up at Unqi and did not speak.
Wu Enqi smiled and said lightly: "You can't say it, right?" I once heard a story told by an old maid left behind by my mother. In the south, there is an animal called a peacock, which is very beautiful. Once there was a war between the orcs and the birds, and it was greedy for life and afraid of death and was unwilling to join. So when the birds came to fight with it, it said that it was an orc because it couldn't fly. But when the orcs came to him, he said that he was a bird, because it had feathers. Later, the orcs made peace with the birds, and when it reappeared, both the birds and the orcs rejected it and drove it out. Because it is neither an orc nor a bird. Those who are not of my race will have different heartsβthis is the same everywhere. β
"His Royal Highness the Second Princeβ" Hadanbaatle said before he spoke.
Wu Enqi interrupted him and continued: "Although I was born in Mongolia all these years. But there is no one who is a Mongol, and even my father, who gave birth to me, will leave me aside when discussing military and political affairs. In their eyes, I am a Central Plains person, because I look different from them. Do you know how much I hated my face when I was a kid? Several times, I wanted to scratch it with a dagger."
Wu Enqi said in a low voice: "However, can the Central Plains people be my own people?" In their hearts, I am also a foreigner with Mongolian ancestry, because my father was a Mongolian king. So, I'm neither a Mongol nor a Han, I'm just myself. It's just that I've been growing up in Mongolia all these years, and my mother, whom I haven't seen since I can remember, and even the maids she left behind were all given to meritorious subordinates by my father. Therefore, I really can't regard this place as my home, and I don't have a good impression of the Central Plains royal family who was married to my mother back then. The royal family had no affection, and even my mother, no matter how much she loved this place before, was full of resentment when she died. She hated her biological father, her royal brother, and even her biological mother. β
Unqi's face was a little distorted, Hadan Battle was not a person of good words, and he naturally couldn't say half a word when he saw this.
Half-ringing, Wu Enqi calmed his expression and said with a light smile: "Strange, I have a lot of words today." I know what your master means, although I don't like this royal family, but I also know that if you want to stop being ignored by everyone, the most important thing is to have power. When I become the king of Mongolia, what I have received today, I will try my best to win the support of the emperor of the Central Plains one by one, you go back. β
Hadan Baatle pursed his lips and came up to salute, wanting to leave.
Wu Enqi stopped him and said softly: "Go back and treat me Thank you master, he said that he has an old relationship with my mother, so he has been protecting me all these years, I understand." In my heart, he is the only person close to him. β
Hadanbaatle answered.
Wu Enqi stood in place expressionlessly for a moment before turning back to the bed and sitting down, but he felt that something was sitting under him. Wu Enqi was stunned for a moment, reached out and touched it, and grabbed a burden. It was the one that Concubine Jing gave him.
He removed the baggage, and inside was a white brocade cloak embroidered with hidden bamboo patterns. The pattern on it is elegant and plain, the stitches are very tight, and the material is also good.
Wu Enqi touched the cloak, and suddenly he threw it far away as if his hand had been burned. After thinking about it, he jumped up again and stepped on it with his feet, until the original snow-white cloak was trampled on by him, and he slid on the ground as if he had exhausted his strength.
Half a ring, he came back to his senses, a teenager, and his face was already full of tears.
He stood up and glanced at the cloak at his feet. He wiped away his tears and shouted outward:
"Someone Coming"
Soon a maid walked in, her hair was braided and her body was strong, and she looked like she was from Mongolia, not a maid arranged in the other courtyard.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, Tana is here." The girl with a somewhat dark face blinked her eyes and said in Mongolian.
"Tana." Wu Enqi opened his mouth, pointed to the cloak on the ground and said in a dumb voice: "Throw it out, don't let people see it." β
Tana walked over, picked up the cloak on the ground, glanced at it, and her eyes lit up: "Huh? This is so beautiful, why throw it away? Is it good for Tana? Although the cloak is a little dirty, the material and workmanship still make the Mongolian girl like it.
Wu Enqi's face twisted and roared, "Didn't you hear me when I asked you to throw it out?" βγ
Tana was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Wu Enqi carefully, a little aggrieved, but still nodded and said: "Tana knows, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Tana will throw it away." β
Tana glanced at the cloak in her hand again, and sighed in her heart, but she bowed and was about to retreat.
It was only when her hand touched the door that Wu Enqi stopped her again: "Wait-"
Tana looked at Huiye with a pair of big eyes, and wondered: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, do you have any other orders?" βγ
Urenqi, biting her lip, walked up to Tana and reached for the cloak back. Looking down at the obvious footprints he had stepped on from above, he was a little at a loss.
Tana kept her eyes open and looked at him, and her eyes lit up when she saw this, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, did you want to throw it away when you saw it dirty?" The slave can be cleaned, and the slave and maid guarantee that it can be washed like new, don't you throw it away, okay? β
Unqi looked at Tana stunned: "Can you really wash it clean?" β
Tana nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, Tana is the best at doing laundry." β
Wu Enqi tugged at the corners of her mouth and touched her thick braids that kept dangling: "Yes, how did I forget, my Tana is the most capable girl on the grassland." No matter how dirty or torn my clothes are, you will be able to sew them well and wash them like new. β
Tana heard this, the round apple blushed, and she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, she was a simple-minded girl, and a word from Unqi could make her feel good all day.
Wu Enqi smiled and handed her the cloak in his hand again: "Then wash it for you." β
Tana happily hugged the cloak: "Your Highness, don't worry, Tana is your most capable Tana." I'll give you a new cloak tomorrow."
The Mongolian girl hummed a song and went happily.
Wu Enqi looked at her back, a little stunned, he never knew how this poor girl born in a wrangler family could smile so brightly every day, as if nothing would affect his mood. Oh no, it's out of her own words, and nothing can affect her happy mood. That's why he always likes to take her with him to serve. People are always envious of what they don't have in others.
After Hadanbatel came out of the annex, he ran quickly through the intricate alleys of the capital, and in the middle of a sound, he came to the back door of a large mansion, first looked left and right vigilantly, and then listened to the movement for a while, and after making sure that no one was following, he propped up the wall and turned over into the back door of the house.
After another run, he avoided the patrols in the mansion and drove to the backyard, passing through a small forest, but a tall man in black suddenly appeared in front of him.
Hadanbatel didn't stop walking, and made a gesture to the man in black, and the man in black immediately disappeared into the shadows. Hadanbatel dodged into the courtyard behind him.
It was a very large courtyard, with only a small lone building standing in the middle. There are no trees in the courtyard, only some large and small stones stand in it, and it is simply impossible to hide somewhere.
Hadan Baatar ran straight towards the small building, until he reached the door, he said respectfully: "Subordinate Hadan Batel, please see the master." β
The lights and shadows in the small building are flickering, which looks a little strange in this quiet courtyard.
Inside, a gentle and pleasant voice came out: "Come in." β
Hadanbatel pushed the door open and entered, a study. In front of the bookshelf, with his back to the door, there was a man in light-colored clothes with a long jade body, he was holding a candle in his hand, looking for books on that row of bookshelves, and when he heard the sound of people coming in, he didn't look back, but said leisurely: "Have you seen him?" β
Hadanbaatle stepped forward respectfully and saluted: "Yes, master, your subordinates have also brought your words."
