The battle lasted until dusk. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe originally beautiful grasslands were littered with the corpses of men and horses, and fragments of weapons, shields, and armor were scattered all over the ground. The banner of Salander fell crookedly in the setting sun, and the cavalry archers of the Kugit Khanate danced and sang the praises of victory.

The marshal sent people to spread rumors in the city of Lana, saying that if Lana dared to stop the power of the khanate, he would slaughter the city. So panic spread in the city of Lana. The citizens of Rana are all Kugit and are unwilling to resist. Anti-war sentiment was running high in the city, and the Kugit army outside the city was encamped, and supplies flowed continuously.

We were resting in the camp when a khanate officer entered my tent and delivered the Khan's orders. The Khan asked me to follow him. My right arm had begun to recover, but James asked me to recuperate for another month. I didn't listen to him and immediately arranged for the troops to be deployed.

The Khan's forces went straight to the Salander Desert and defeated the Kharazan chieftain who came to his rescue, while my army defeated the Nuam chieftain, but I let him go. He thanked me and took a lame old horse with him.

The Khan's army reached Mazgen on the border of Salander, where he ordered the army to burn and loot. He rode high up in the village, looking down on all this, and I was half a horse's head behind him, watching the bloody performances of his men. Soldiers of the Khan's Guard, dressed in gold armor, dyed their armor crimson.

He turned his head, gave me a meaningful look, and said lightly, "I heard that you caught that rogue chief Nuam?"

"Yes. I replied resignedly, "But I let him go." ”

"Oh, good, it's a kind of chivalry. The Khan turned his head and looked into the distance, and said, "I admire your approach, but do you know that chivalry cannot help us win wars." ”

"Follow the teachings, my Great Khan. I said.

"You know what?" continued Khan, "I was influenced by the Svadias when I was young, and I also believed in chivalry. But I found that it doesn't work with the brutal Calradia. Haraus, who called himself a knight, committed an unforgivable heinous crime against our country. In contrast, I prefer the wolf spirit, cunning, cruel, ferocious, and never play according to the routine. ”

I said yes, but in fact I was a little unimpressed. Chivalry is necessary for the long-term rule of any country, and wolf spirit is necessary for domination. As a generation of heroes, you must learn to combine the two. And then the combination of them was brought to the extreme. I'm a steppe wolf in knight's armor.

I was deep in thought when the army below was in turmoil, and it looked like my troops were at odds with the Khan's guards. I have long ordered that you should not fight with the Khan's guards. I was so angry that I rushed down to see if any of the daredevils had violated my orders.

I rushed down and saw Fatis scuffling with an officer of the Khan's Guard. My soldiers and the Khan's guards glared at each other.

Seeing this, I hurriedly separated them, and I yelled, "What's the matter?"

Fatis had bloodshot eyes like a mad lion, and shouted, "He's a devil who has just killed a child." ”

The officer straightened his collar and said coldly: "That little Salander mongrel is taller than the wheels. ”

"What about being taller than a wheel?" roared Fatis hoarsely, "look how thin he is, you can kick him to death! Look at this kid, with his high cheekbones and small eyes, he is clearly a Kujit. You're killing your kind! Even if he's half-blooded, he has half of the Kugit blood!"

I looked at the child carefully, and suddenly a sense of déjà vu arose in my heart.

The child was a Kugit Muslim and had the dual characteristics of a Salander and a Kujit. Kugit's high cheekbones, the long face of the Salander, and the fair skin of the Salander have a perfect combination in this child.

I seemed to see myself.

When I was a child, I used to look down at my reflection at the water's edge countless times, and I was troubled by my appearance countless times. I don't know why my own skin doesn't take on that healthy red, but white, and I don't know why other people's faces are as round as the full moon and my own are as thin as tuberculosis. The girls in the village laughed at me for not being a man, which hurt the younger me. I was madly in love with a beautiful girl, but she didn't think I looked like a man. I played the matouqin outside her yurt for a few nights, but she got into someone else's yurt.

"Lord Chinath?" the officer pulled me back from my memories.

What do you think should be done about this?"

"Oh. "I was lost in thought. I knew that if I favored Fatis, I would be not giving the khan face.

"That's what I think. I replied, "You know, some of the dignitaries in Calradia favored male favorites, and this kid is good-looking, and he will ...... Hey. ”

"Commander, this is outrageous!" Fatis protested.

"Shut up!" I cried, "there's no place for you to talk here. ”

Fatis was silent, his eyes filled with anger. The officer nodded to me and stepped back. I looked back at the Khan on the high ground, and his expression was so indifferent that I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

I walked up to the high ground and saluted the Khan, saying, "Great Khan, I follow your instructions. ”

"You're doing a good job. Also, there is no need to be so fierce to your subordinates. The Khan said, "You can go back to the aid of Nayan Bour." ”

I left this poor village with the army.

About ten miles away, the boy shouted loudly, "Kill me, that bastard called Chinath, don't send me to that kind of place!"

I looked at him with interest and said with a smile: "Your life is in my hands, I have the final say on where you go, and what you say doesn't count." Hey hey ......"

"Kill me. Otherwise, you only have two ways, and in the future I will kill you, or Allah will punish you!

"My life is mine, not your Allah. It doesn't matter if you go to hell, I just know that I can trade you for 5,000 dinars or more, hahaha!" I laughed.

"You ......," Batu said angrily. Little Warrior, I'm not kidding you. I said, "Batu, you are a real good man. I'm going to take you to a safe place, Dustou, you know what?"

"You don't pretend to be garlic, do you think I don't know what you think?"

"Then I can let you go now, but do you know what the consequences are? I said.

Batu was silent.

I looked at Khatis and said, "Captain Fattis, please forgive me for being rude. Because if you don't, you and the kid might die. ”

Fatis thanks.

We returned to Lana, the defenders surrendered, and Nayan Boyuura took possession of the city. The marshal ordered a short rest, and I returned to Urutana with my troops.

Ulligi made a trip back to Dastuo, intending to leave Batu in his hometown. As a result, Kugit suffered a heavy snowfall once in a century, and Badu, who was born in the hot desert, froze to death. So he brought his nephew, Anda Hongerqin, with him to Urutana.

That winter, we were all repairing at Uludana, except for the occasional trip to the Salander Caravan Route to do some side hustle. In his spare time, Sir Anders was silently looking at the snow, muttering, "The world is going to be in chaos......

That winter, due to the Kugit famine, a large number of refugees moved south to the dry Salander Desert, and wherever the Kugit people were infested, the horses were wreaking. Saiga Khan allied with the nobles and ordered an invasion to the south. But I was in Uludana, watching Batu and Anda Hongerqin shoot a yellow sheep and a roe deer.

As soon as the heavy snow stopped, I received an order from the marshal. The heavy snow brought the Halma garrison to a halt, and I was ordered to transport grain and grass for the Halma garrison. I went through the formalities of handing over supplies to the garrison commander at the residence of the commander of the garrison in Halma. The garrison commander Dari Achi is a veteran who is close to the age of six, and he has been running for the khanate all his life, and he is only a thousand households, and he has not been given the title of Nayan. After the formalities were completed, the commander asked me to bring hot tea and start a conversation with me.

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard. Dari Achi said.

"It's all for the sake of the Khanate, it's a trivial matter, what's the point, how can it compare to the old general, you have been fighting all your life?" I said modestly.

"Your Excellency. The commander said, "The world is so chaotic now, and it's snowing again, isn't Madame Zun worried about your safety?"

"Huh. I smiled, "I'm not afraid of the old general's jokes, I'm in my 20s, I haven't married yet, and I've been beaten on horseback since I was a child, what is this bit of snow." How can it be compared to the alien army you faced back then. The sages are in front, and we and the younger generations should follow suit. ”

The old general was thoughtful. "My lord, there is a garden in the humble house. Every winter, there are plum blossoms, which is very impressive. I wonder if the adults are interested in having fun?" Dari Achi suggested.

I've read a little bit of a book, but it's still vulgar. At that time, I didn't know that there were still flowers in the world that bloomed in the cold winter, and I was very surprised.

I followed the old general's lead and went into the garden. Snowflakes were falling in the garden, bending the withered branches, like old ministers kneeling on the ground for the recently deceased monarch, curled up on the ground.

I "creaked" through the snow in the midst of this group of "old ministers", turning left and right in the garden. After bypassing a wall, it suddenly dawned, and clusters of pink flowers bloomed in the snow, proudly releasing their vitality.

The old general quietly left, leaving me alone to enjoy the flowers.

I was amazed at the strength of this flower, and I was amazed that she bloomed in the ice and snow. I don't know why she doesn't compete with other flowers, but she stands proudly in the snow. I seem to understand a truth, if you want to be different and realize the value of life, you have to be ruthless with yourself. Cruel circumstances often lead to early talent, as when armies of various tribes swarmed, King Haraus was born.

I suddenly thought of the old general, and I couldn't see him. On this quiet snowy day, I heard someone laughing.

I hurriedly followed the laughter, but I saw a girl who was more beautiful than Lamei, wearing a goose-yellow robe in the falling snow, hiding her smile. Those bright eyes with affection were clearly looking at me.

I silently prayed, "Thank you Tengri." ”
