It wasn't until dozens of miles away that Li Mu in the frame called Man Gui closer.

"My lord, what do you need to do with Mangui?" Arriving at the frame, Man Gui rode on his war horse to keep pace with the frame.

Inside the frame, Li Mu heard that Man Gui had arrived, so he patted Zhezhe's little hand, pinched Da Yu'er's tender face, and said with a smile: "Wait for the master obediently inside, the master will go outside to talk to Man Gui, and come back in a while to clean up the two of you." ”

"Master, then you have to hurry." Zhezhe was half-plump, his face was full of flattery, and he leaned on the soft couch in the carriage.

Da Yu'er on the side, although she has been serving Li Mu for a long time, she still can't let go like her aunt, rubbed her cheeks that were pinched, and glanced at Li Mu, who got up and was about to go out, showing a little like she wanted to say something.

In her heart, she couldn't help but think of the Horqin prairie at this time, and she didn't know if there would be a chance to return to her hometown on the grassland and see Abba and Grandma.

In the future, Daming may be her final destination, and she will never have the opportunity to set foot on the endless green and soft prairie again.

There is no longer a chance to gallop on horseback, drive cattle and sheep, sing Mongolian songs, and dance around a campfire at night to enjoy delicious barbecue and mare's milk wine.

"Haha, I'll be back in a while." Li Mu smiled, didn't notice Da Yu'er's appearance, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and pulled out of the carriage to talk to Man Gui.

Da Yu'er saw Li Mu leave the carriage, waited for her aunt to put on her half-naked clothes again, and asked a little sadly: "Auntie, can we still see the Horqin Prairie again, and can Bumu Butai still see Abba and Grandma?" Are we going to live in Daming for the rest of our lives? ”

The Ming army left from Seoul, obviously in the direction of the Ming Dynasty, these Ming people who have been away from their hometown for too long should want to return to their hometown very much.

Just like her, she really wanted to take another look at the scenery of the Horqin steppe, take a breath of hometown wind, and smell the smell of cattle and sheep mixed in the green grass.

Covering up the half-naked plumpness, Zhezhe knew that his niece was thinking about the Horqin Prairie, starting from Shenyang City, after such a long time of bumps on the road, not to mention Da Yu'er, even she missed the Horqin Prairie a little.

"Bumu Butai, we should never be able to go back to the Horqin Prairie, this time the Ming people should really be ready to go back to Shanhaiguan, and then enter the Ming Dynasty from Shanhaiguan, and go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to accept the reward of the Ming Emperor."

hugged Da Yu'er, stroked his niece's somewhat scattered hair, pulled it behind his ears, and said lightly: "Bumu Butai, from now on, we must forget the Horqin grassland, forget your father and mother, so that we can live more easily, and one more thing must be remembered, don't contradict the Ming man we serve, he is like the most majestic wolf king on the Horqin grassland, controlling the entire wolf pack, and also controlling the life and death of the two sheep in the wolf pack." ”

At this time, as an aunt, she felt the need to let her niece recognize the current situation of the two, Zhezhe paused and continued.

"However, only the master we serve can protect us from being killed among the wolves, and the women on the Horqin grassland need to be attached to the strongest wolf king in order to live better."

A long sentence exhausted the truth of Zhezhe's survival in the Jurchen Palace, which is also the only destination for women on the Horqin grassland.

That is to find a strong protector for herself, her former protector was the Great Khan of the Jurchen clan, Huang Taiji, and now she has just become a general of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Mu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

It's not about feelings, it's about love, it's just the way of survival for a woman on the Horqin steppe, whether she is the daughter of an ordinary herdsman or the princess who rules the Horqin steppe.

Otherwise, in order to continue the integrity of the Horqin steppe and recreate the glory of the Mongolian golden family, their aunt and nephew would not marry the same man at the same time.

The princesses on the Horqin grassland do not have that selfish feelings, and their existence is all for the service of the Horqin grassland.

"But..." Da Yu'er spoke.

Zhezhe covered his niece's mouth and said sternly: "No, before Shenyang City was captured by the Ming Dynasty, our man was the Great Khan Emperor Taiji of the Jurchen tribe, and now, our man is the Ming man who is outside the carriage, which is also for the sake of the Horqin Prairie, we must be attached to one person, whether it is the Jurchen tribe or the Ming Dynasty." ”

Speaking of this, Zhezhe looked a little lonely and lamented.

"Who let the Horqin grassland is sandwiched between the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty, as the weaker of the three parties, we always have to choose one side, before your father, my brother, the king of the Horqin grassland, bet on the Jurchens, now it seems that he was wrong, and the mistake is outrageous, the Ming Dynasty has not declined, maybe the Ming Dynasty is in decline on the surface, just like the Ming people said, the Ming Dynasty has regained new vitality in the ruins, and the Ming Dynasty is about to flourish."

"And we need to help your father, change the previous mistakes, and for the future of the Horqin steppe, we will focus on the new Daming, not on the Jurchens who have already suffered heavy losses."

After speaking, Zhezhe removed the jade finger from Da Yu'er's mouth.

Da Yu'er, who could speak, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Auntie, can we ensure the future of the Horqin Prairie by serving the Ming people outside?" He is just an official of the Ming Dynasty, and he is not the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, how can he protect us and ensure that the Horqin Prairie is not attacked by the Ming Dynasty? ”

"You're still too young to observe for such a long time? Haven't you noticed any difference yet? Zhezhe asked?

Da Yu'er shook her head, she has never experienced a palace struggle, and she is a princess on the Horqin steppe, she is always spoiled, where do you understand these officialdom and court struggles.

Even if it was the queen of Xiaozhuang in later generations, she grew up little by little after marrying Huang Taiji and experiencing the cruel Jurchen harem battle.

Seeing his niece shaking his head, Zhezhe explained: "Aunt asks you, have you ever seen a general who dared to change the route of the march without permission when he was leading the army outside, and that general went to the vassal country, not staying in the post house, but living in the palace in a grand manner?" And will wantonly pretend to be the Queen Mother? ”

"Nope."

Zhezhe pointed to the outside of the carriage and continued: "But the Ming man outside dares, and there is no trace of rustiness, what does this mean?" It shows that this Ming man often does this, and the Ming court, the emperor, the queen mother, these people in power will not care, or dare not care, so let it go. ”

"What my aunt means is that the Ming man outside, since he is not the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, dares to act so arbitrarily, he must be a powerful figure in the Ming Dynasty, a person who can influence the will of the Ming court, and the official position on the surface is nothing more than a cover-up, just like Dolgon in the Jurchen Four Great Baylors?." Da Yu'er seemed to understand something, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the door curtain of the carriage, as if she wanted to penetrate the door curtain.

Zhezhe then added: "Auntie can even say that this Ming man is even more powerful than Dolgon, one of the four great beylers, because Dolgon has never dared to be so brazen and move the two banners and eight banners of iron cavalry under his command at will. ”

Hearing Zhezhe's explanation, Da Yu'er was relieved, lowered her little head, and didn't know what she was thinking.

...

Li Mu, who was outside the carriage, didn't know what the two daughters Zhezhe and Da Yu'er were talking about in the carriage, and at this time he was sitting on the flat outside of the frame, leisurely talking to Man Gui who was riding on a war horse.

And they are talking about the whereabouts of the Ming army after leaving the Korean state.
