Chapter 98: Difficult to Eliminate the Grace of Beauty

The sound of breaking the sky sounded, a cool breeze blew through his ears, and a crossbow arrow shot straight into the tiger that pounced on him from Zhu Zhanji's back, the tiger's eye was hit by an arrow, and the blood flowed down and instantly covered his face, he couldn't see clearly, he was in pain and frightened, and the tiger's pounce was even more fierce.

The sound of breaking the sky sounded again, and another crossbow arrow hit the tiger's other eye, bleeding profusely, and the blind tiger rolled on the ground in pain, Zhu Zhanji turned over and pierced his heart with a sword, resulting in the tiger's life.

Looking at the person who saved his life, it was a beautiful girl dressed in brocade skirt boots and Mongolian makeup.

"You Han man, why did you come to our place? Is it a spy over there? The girl frowned, bent her bow and arrow, and pointed it at Zhu Zhanji's heart.

He speaks fluent Chinese.

After the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian aristocracy, or powerful people, all had the habit of wearing Hanfu and speaking Chinese, and often interacted with Han people, and those who did business also knew some Chinese, but it was rare to speak extremely fluently like this.

Zhu Zhanji arched his hand at her as if he didn't see the arrow in her hand, "Thank you girl for saving your life, the hunter on the other side of the mountain is chasing the tiger and straying into this place by mistake." ”

"Nonsense, your clothes are obviously not Orion, and the sword in your hand is not owned by ordinary people at all, tell me, who are you?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Zhu Zhanji sighed lightly, "What the girl said is that I am indeed not an Orion, I am-" The voice was inaudible.

The girl listened carefully, the arrow in her hand was slightly off, Zhu Zhanji did not retreat but advanced, rushed forward in a flash, grabbed the arrow in the girl's hand in her hand, and staggered to hold her from behind, the blade of the sword in her hand against her neck, "Offended." ”

The girl didn't expect Zhu Zhanji to be so fast, and he was able to hold himself hostage under the aim of his own arrows, shocked and angry, "Let go of me, who are you?" What a big boldness, if you don't let go of me, I will tell my brother to kill you. ”

"Under Zhu Zhanji, thank you for the grace of saving your life, if the girl doesn't shout or scream, I will let you go."

The girl nodded, and Zhu Zhanji let go of her hand. The girl backhanded, grabbed Zhu Zhanji's wrist, and used the Mongolian wrestling posture to throw him to the ground.

Zhu Zhanji had a sword in his hand, but he didn't want to hurt the girl, after all, she saved his life just now, in order to prevent the sword from piercing the girl's body, he dodged left and right, which was very hard.

"Giggles—" The girl stopped suddenly, and stood there smiling, as bright and brilliant as a Gesang flower.

"Your heart is quite good, your surname is Zhu, who are you from the Ming Emperor?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji didn't speak, she said again: "I am Arutai's sister, Oyuntana. ”

Oyuntana, which means pearl-like beauty and intelligence, was captured by the Ming army together with Arutai's brother in the first battle of fishing in the Hongwu period, and in May of the eighth year of Yongle, when the Yongle Emperor went on an expedition to Mobei, he conquered Arutai and sent his brother and sister back, for which Arutai was very grateful.

No wonder she speaks Chinese so fluently, and during the Ming Dynasty's captivity, Oyuntana and her brother were treated with great courtesy, and their daily use was better than that of the ordinary princess of an official family.

This is also one of the reasons why Arutai was able to pay homage to Emperor Yongle after the Battle of the Troubled River.

Zhu Zhanji knew about this, and after hearing this, he put away his sword, "That's my imperial grandfather." ”

Oyuntana was surprised and delighted, "Ah, you are the eldest grandson they are looking for?" But I've got you, you know? In the past few days, we have almost turned this piece over. ”

The emperor's eldest grandson was too fierce because of the army and horses under his command, so that there was no news of the capture of the captives, and the Yongle Emperor was also worried that the eldest grandson led his troops to cover up the killing, and in just a few days he attacked the city and plundered the land, and the two sides were negotiating peace, and the previous defeated general Arutai was the Mongolian envoy of the peace talks, and he had to help search for Zhu Zhanji in public and private.

Zhu Zhanji sighed, he couldn't see the expression on his face, although he was less than fourteen years old, he had grown up since he was a child, and he was quite a city like a little adult, at this time he listened to Oyuntana's words, he was also half-convinced, although his face was not obvious, his heart was still vigilant.

"It's a pity that your two dogs won't survive." Oyuntana also put away her bow and arrows, preparing to take Zhu Zhanji out of the mountain.

Zhu Zhanji didn't speak, Saihu and Saiwolf frolicked with him and grew up together, and now, he has grown into a teenager, but in order to save himself, they are lying in this bitter cold desert north land.

He silently dug a grave with his sword and put his two dogs in it.

Oyuntana wanted to help, but was seen by Zhu Zhanji's cold eyes and retreated three feet, stood aside and watched him dig up the dirt, dig out a boxy cemetery, hold the two dogs and put them in, and after a long time, sprinkled the soil and buried it.

Zhu Zhanji didn't say anything, but Oyuntana saw pathos in his back, this handsome young man, with eyes as bright as Paulel (crystal stone), and a tall posture like Susu (Song) and Meras (Bai), as powerful as Ajislan (lion), but with a heart as soft as Paulergensul (brocade mink's tail).

Oyuntana likes him.

Together with the attendants who were found later, Zhu Zhanji was sent back to the Ming army's tent and returned to his own camp, Oyuntana told his brother Arutai what had happened, and told his brother how he felt, "Oyuntana likes him." ”

Although Mongolians express their feelings, they will not disguise or detour, and his sister has also reached the age of marriage, but when he heard Oyuntana say this sentence directly, Arutai was still taken aback, "It is not that there has been a Mongolian and Han intermarriage before, but Oyuntana, you have only seen him once, he is not a Han who lives in our Mongolia, that is the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he will be the crown prince in the future, the emperor's, if you marry him, you will never be able to return to Mongolia." Didn't you say that in those days when you left your hometown, you were thinking about our grassland, eagles, and milk tea all the time? ”

Oyuntana bit her lip, thought for a moment, and said distressedly: "But I still like him, I like him so much." ”

"Think about it again, if you haven't changed your mind before they are ready to go back, I'll go and talk to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Arutai loves this sister very much, and has always felt guilty for being captured as a hostage in the First Battle of the Fishing Sea at a young age, so since she was sent back, he has relied on her in everything, trying to make up for his failure to fulfill his brother's responsibilities over the years.

**

In the big tent, Emperor Yongle, Zhu Zhanji and the generals of this expedition to Mongolia, the generals together with the Mongolian Khan Benyasuri, the Taishi Arutai, and many Mongolian generals, sat cross-legged after a few cases, the liquor of the big altar had been raised, and the cases were full of all kinds of meat.

The success of the peace talks is a feast of celebration.

Anyuan Hou Liusheng patted open the mud seal of a jar of spirits and sniffed the taste, "Good wine, it turned out to be Liaodong's burning knife, come and come, everyone is full!" As he spoke, he lifted the wine jar and poured a bowl for Emperor Yongle first.

It was this moment of effort, and he had already tested the wine.

In this expedition, Liu Sheng, as the deputy commander, accompanied the northern expedition for the first time, and it was he who commanded the Shenji battalion as the vanguard, and the firearms and artillery fired for dozens of miles, and every time he shot, the enemy was killed and wounded, so that he could win the war so quickly.

As soon as the wine was full, a whole sheep roasted with oil was carried into the big tent, the appearance was golden and buttery, the skin was brown and crispy, the inside was soft and tender, and the aroma came to the nose.

Two Mongolian women cut the whole roast lamb on a wooden rack with a sharp knife, and in a moment, the steaming, fatty and fragrant roast lamb was served on a plate and served on the table.

Arutai showed them how to dip mutton in salt in a small dish and put it directly into their mouths with their hands.

There are no condiments, just the original taste of mutton, dipped in salt, but there is no smell of fishy smell, tender and fat, melt in the mouth. Zhu Zhanji ate several pieces in succession.

He was about to reach out and pick up the wine in front of him again, but a hand stretched out to block him, Zhu Zhanji looked up, "Miss Oyuntana, you...... What is this for? ”

Oyuntana looked at him with a pair of beautiful big eyes, with a smile and a coquettish look: "You haven't seen me dance yet, don't get drunk." ”

Arutai explained to Emperor Yongle: "This sister of mine has been spoiled, and she was ...... No one taught her the rules, the emperor is not strange. ”

Emperor Yongle smiled heartily, "This is the little girl who saved Zhan'er?" Beautiful, capable, Arutai, you have a good sister. ”

Although Zhu Zhanji was impatient that Oyuntana was always around him, he didn't drink anymore, after all, this was his savior, she said that if she wanted to watch dancing, she would just watch dancing.

After the wine feast, a bonfire was lit outside the tent, piles of firewood were burning in the middle, a low table was placed on all sides, a felt blanket was spread behind the low table, Emperor Yongle and the generals of the Ming army sat on the blanket to watch, the melodious horse-head qin and the Mongolian long tune sang and harmonized, high-pitched and long-lasting, soothing and free, and the girls and boys sang and danced around the bonfire.

In the song, the horses, camels, cattle and sheep, blue sky, white clouds, mountains and rivers of the grassland are like long picture scrolls, under the stars in the sky, in the dazzling firelight, in the jumping figures, far and near, bright and dark, mountains and seas.

In the boundless darkness, there is a wolf's howl faintly with the wind, in the meantime, only to feel that the world is vast, the bow should be strong, the arrow should be long, and the pride is suddenly born.

In the horse head qin, Oyuntana sang in a low voice in Chinese: Catch up with our vigorous horses, face the sun and go into the distance, the sun is fragrant with the wind, how beautiful my hometown, the clear river water is bright and bright, like a silver belt floating into the distance, I miss my Dagura in my heart, her friendship is longer than flowing water, the snow-white sheep are rolling, like the floating clouds surrounding the mountain beams, the hard-working girl on the grassland, none of them is stronger than her......

In the firelight, Oyuntana danced with the girls like a harrier into the forest, she danced like snowflakes whirling, turning her sleeves like a god, and the white grass and sand were cold.

The figure is graceful and graceful, and it is charming with strength, and everyone present is fascinated.

She danced in front of Zhu Zhanji, stretched out her hand to him, and made a gesture to invite him to dance together.

The surrounding Mongolian soldiers let out bursts of roars and laughter like arrows and crossbows breaking through the air, rejoicing.

Oyuntana's bright eyes looked at Zhu Zhanji and tilted her head, as if asking him: Do you jump or not?
