Chapter 33: Destiny is on the line
"Khan, Tusang Zuoxian King Huo Ming, Bai Cheng Beile, and Prince Xiyu's eldest grandson ask to see him." The guards came in to report.
Shang Du Khan didn't react at all, his hands clenched into fists, he sat on the edge of the couch with his head down, his hair scattered to the side, he couldn't see any expression of him, he could only feel the anger and torment in his heart at this moment from the protruding fists of the green muscles.
Ming Cheng wiped the corners of his eyes, beckoned, and the guards went out to bring a table of people in.
The three of them came in and saluted, Bai Cheng saw Nata, who was sobbing incessantly, sitting on the ground, feeling uncomfortable, and wanted to walk over to help her up, but was pulled by Huo Ming.
"Shangdu Khan, we heard that Prince Bayin was bitten by a wolf, so we quickly took the best golden medicine of our clan." Eldest Sun Ying took out two bottles of gold sore medicine, handed them to the doctor, and said, "Hurry up and use this medicine, stop the bleeding quickly!" β
The doctor took the Jinchuang medicine, bowed and said: "Xiyu's Jinchuang medicine is the most famous, with this, there should be hope for stopping the bleeding." It's just that if this wolf venom is not clear, Prince Bayin's leg may be... β
"Wolf venom? Can't you scrape the bones to detoxify? Huo Ming looked anxious, walked up to the doctor and ordered, "My father and King Yelu ordered you to hurry up and think of the best way, even if you use all the miracle medicine in the world, you must heal Prince Bayin." β
"Yes, yes... But... The doctors frowned and nodded, looking embarrassed.
Seeing the doctor's ambiguous appearance, Ming Cheng frowned and stood up and walked to Shangdu Khan's side, put his left hand on Shangdu Khan's shoulder, looked at Huo Ming and the others coldly, and said: "Everyone is here, then I want to ask, today the Yue tribe is surrounded by heavy guards, why did our Bayin Prince run alone to the wilderness, and still in danger and encounter wolves?" β
"Don't worry, princess, we are here, first, to see how Prince Bayin's injuries are, and secondly, to find out about this matter." Huo Ming said, "Because of the Snow Lotus incident last night, we have sent heavy patrols within ten miles around the tribe today, and this time it is also thanks to Prince Changsun, when he heard that Prince Bayin ran to the mountains and forests, he quickly sent people to search, and only then did he rescue Prince Bayin who was trapped in wolves in time." β
"Then I want to ask you, why did Prince Bayin run away to the northwest mountains and forests alone?" Ming Cheng's sharp eyes swept over Huo Ming and looked at everyone in the room. One of the guards standing on the edge of the collapse was trembling, and suddenly fell to his knees and shouted: "The Khan forgives the sins, the princess forgives the sins!" β
"What's the matter! Hurry up! Ming Cheng was furious.
Nata looked at the frightened guard, rushed over and grabbed his clothes and said, "What did you do to my brother!" β
Bai Cheng looked at Nata, who was about to collapse, couldn't hold back any longer, ignored Huo Ming's obstruction, went to help the heartbroken Nata, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, your brother will be fine." β
"I, I heard the news that the person who stole the century-old snow lotus of my clan last night hid in the mountains and forests in the northwest, and the heavy troops sent today are just to find this person. I told the prince about this, and when he heard this, he hurried to look for it. And then, this happened. The guard knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.
"Why didn't you report to us, when the prince went alone?" Nata asked angrily.
"I, I'm going to report that I met Prince Changsun on the road, and he said that he would send someone to protect the prince's safety." The guard's head was already lowered to the ground.
"Prince Eldest Sun, you!" Nata's eyes were teary-eyed and angry.
"What a grievance! Is it wrong for me to send someone to find Prince Bayin? But when we found out, Bayin had already fallen into a trap, and there were two wild wolves in this trap! But we arrived in a very timely manner, and if we were a step late, I'm afraid ... Eldest Sun Ying hurriedly defended.
"Shut up!" Shangdu Khan turned his head and interrupted Changsun Ying to continue. Only then did everyone realize that this old man who was over the age of sixteen seemed to be much older in an instant, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was tired. He looked at the guard kneeling on the ground and reprimanded, "Are you Huang Bei's guard or Xiyu's guard?" Our Prince Huangbei can still protect the interests of his clan regardless of his safety, and you won't come back to report such an important matter?! β
"The little one knows the wrong one, and the little one knows the wrong one!" The guards knew that the matter was serious, and they could only take the initiative to beg for mercy. At that time, Prince Bayin also instructed himself to come back quickly to find reinforcements, but after he met Changsun Huan, he saw that Changsun Huan immediately sent a lot of people to follow Prince Bayin, and felt that he didn't need to be too nervous, so he followed the other guards to gamble money, but he didn't expect Prince Bayin to fall into the wolf trap.
"Drag it out and cut it off!" The guards were not allowed to beg for mercy and cry, and Shangdu Khan's hoarse and gloomy voice made the people around him shudder.
"If there is a hundred-year-old snow lotus here, I want to use one or two pieces, and Prince Bayin will definitely be safe!" The eldest grandson said with regret, "I also got news today that a suspicious person has run into the northwest mountains and forests, and I have already sent more people at the moment, so that this person will not be able to fly." β
"Centennial Snow Lotus?" Princess Nata asked weakly with a distracted expression.
"Even if there is no hundred-year-old snow lotus, no matter what medicinal materials your brother needs, we will find them and send them over." Bai Yan couldn't bear to be disappointed by Nata again, and comforted her by holding her crumbling body.
"If there is no hundred-year-old snow lotus, will my brother still be saved?" Nata sobbed and complained, "Why, my brother is so good, why did this happen!" β
"Nata, didn't I tell you? No matter what the situation is, our clan can't use a hundred-year-old snow lotus! After Shang Du Khan finished speaking, he slowly stood up, pestle the side of the couch with his hand, supporting his tired body, and Ming Cheng hurriedly supported his arm when he saw this. Shangdu Khan waved his hand at her, looked indifferently at the foreign people in front of him, and said, "Go back, and send a message to your khans, if my son has any loss, I will be the enemy of your tribes for generations." An hour later, we will return to Huangbei! Prepare the horses! β
"Uncle Shangdu, Bayin's injuries are so serious, don't bump over long distances. If you really want to go back, you should wait until your injuries are stable before getting up. Bai Cheng said as he pulled the guard who received the order.
When the doctors who were busy on the side heard this, they looked at each other, and the leading doctor came over and said, "Shangdu Khan, please listen to me." Prince Bayin's injuries, if they are not poisoned, I am afraid that his life will be lost in an hour. As the eldest grandson prince said just now, the hundred-year-old snow lotus has heard that it has a detoxification effect, but whether it really has a miraculous effect, we have never seen it. At present, if we do not have such a miracle drug, the most feasible way is to scrape the bone first, and if it does not improve after half an hour, we can only amputate the limb to save his life. But in any case, it is absolutely impossible to travel long distances at present, which will greatly disadvantage Prince Bayin's injuries. β
"Father, my brother's life is at stake, let's wait for my brother's injuries to stabilize before we leave." Nata took Shandu Khan's hand and begged with tears in her face.
"If you really want to scrape your bones and break your legs, what's the point of staying here?" Shangdu Khan looked at his beloved daughter, and his voice was firm and indisputable.
"Father, but brother... Nata was choking with tears in her eyes.
Seeing that Shangdu Khan was resolute, the guards who received the order hurriedly prepared their horses despite Bai Cheng's obstruction.
At this moment, Prince Bayin, who was lying on the couch, had a pale face, sweating profusely, and even though he was unconscious, he still let out painful moans from time to time. But Shangdu Khan had already made up his mind, and he didn't have the slightest intention of letting the doctors scrape the bones of his son to clean up the poison, and the doctors couldn't dissuade him anymore, so they had to stand by and wait for the fate.
"Uncle Helian! THIS ... Bai Yan couldn't understand why Shangdu Khan was so stubborn, and looked at the desperate Nata on the side, his eyes were full of distress, so he had to ask Helian for help.
Helian Qihe thought to himself that this was really heaven's help, and he didn't want Tusang to have anything to do with Huang Bei, but his brother Witton Khan always thought that the desert people were connected by blood, and they would be together for a long time, which was really naΓ―ve. He knew that with the temperament of Shangdu Khan, he would definitely repay him, and even if Bayin was unharmed, it would never be over, and if he insisted on leaving them, he might even set himself on fire. He shook his hand at Bai Yan, sighed and said, "Shangdu Khan, I am also very surprised that this happened, if there is no better treatment at present, we can send two doctors to escort you back to Huangbei, and take care of Prince Bayin's injuries all the way." β
"Uncle Helian!" Bai Cheng looked at his uncle in surprise.
"Good!! Good!! Shangdu Khan's two "good" words were murderous, and it seemed that there was a sense of anger pressing down on his chest, and he was about to explode.
Helian Qiji secretly sneered, and hurriedly pulled the reluctant Bai Cheng and the others out of the yurt.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Uncle, how can you agree that they just leave with Bayin? In case he can't resist, aren't we more passive? Leaving the yurt, Bai Yan asked puzzled.
Helian glanced at Bai Yan, and then asked Huo Ming and Eldest Sun Huan: "What's going on here?" β
"Uncle, this matter is indeed the idea of me and the eldest grandson prince, we want to see if Huang Bei's hundred-year-old snow lotus is really lost or fake, but we never expected that Bayin would fall into the trap of the wild wolf." Huo Ming saw that he couldn't hide this matter, so he gave up Helian and confessed truthfully.
"Brother Huo Ming, how can you arrange it like this? How old is Bayin, how to survive without legs! After Bai Cheng heard the truth, his mood was indescribable.
"Bai Yan, this matter is not to blame Huo Ming, we just want to see their reaction when they hear the thief's traces, who would have expected that Bayin's guards would not report such a major matter quickly. Today, there were heavy troops guarding the tribe for ten miles, even if Bayin was alone, it was not a big problem, but who knew that he would accidentally fall into the wolf trap so unexpectedly. This is all because people are not as good as heaven, and Bayin is destined to deserve this catastrophe! The eldest grandson said regretfully, "However, judging from Bayin's reaction to the rush to find the hundred-year-old snow lotus at that time, I am afraid that this snow lotus is really lost!" β
"Hey, Bayin is so pathetic!" Bai Cheng sighed, "Although I don't have much contact with Huang Bei's people, but Bayin is the same age as me, and we are all of the same roots. β
"Same roots, same vein? Bai Yan, don't be too naΓ―ve! Helian disdainfully said, "The fewer people know the cause of today's events, the better." Everyone knows Bayin's current situation in their hearts, don't leave a handle for Huang Bei. β
"Got it!" The three of them replied.
"Hurry up and arrange the marble conference in the evening, you can't go on any more business trips at this time, so as not to be laughed at by the people of the world." Helian Qihe waved his hand at the three of them, and he himself prepared to walk towards the south gate.
"Oops, my jade pendant seems to be missing!" When everyone was responding, the eldest grandson Ying touched his waist and shouted.
"What jade pendant, where did you lose it?" Huo Ming asked.
"I was still there just now, but I am afraid that when I visited Bayin, I took it down when I took the gold medicine. You go back to work first, I'll look for it and I'll come right away. After the eldest grandson finished speaking, he turned back.

Yun Chuan was taking the cassava balls made by the maid to Huang Bei's residence, but he didn't expect that this tapioca balls infused with the aroma of snow lotus were really made, which were very similar to those small pills of Shangdu Khan, and from the appearance, they could be completely fake.
Yun Chuan hid in the corner, thinking about how to transfer the tiger away from the mountain to sneak into Shangdu Khan's yurt, when he suddenly found that Shangdu Khan, Ming Cheng, Nata and others hurriedly came out and walked into a yurt room on the side, and the guards standing guard also surrounded the yurt. Yun Chuan didn't have time to figure out what was going on, so he hurriedly walked into Shangdu Khan's yurt, quickly put two tapioca balls in the small box, restored them to their original state, and quickly withdrew.
As soon as she returned to her lodgings, a maid came to tell her about Bayin's injury.
"What do you say? Bayin is seriously injured and in danger? Yun Chuan looked surprised, it turned out that the scene he had just encountered at Huang Bei's residence was because of this.
"Yes, I just met our doctor. Moreover, the doctors we sent to treat Bayin have all been driven out, and Huang Bei's people are preparing to pack up and go back. The maid said.
"What injuries? How can it be so serious? Yun Chuan interrupted the maid's chatter and hurriedly asked.
"I heard the doctor say that he was bitten by a wolf, and the injury was very serious, and the wolf venom could not be removed at all, so he could only amputate his legs." The little soldier also said with a look of horror.
"Wolf venom?" Yun Chuan frowned, her heart was pinched, remembering what Changsun Huan said to herself, she quickly linked this matter with Changsun Huan. "This method is really ruthless!" Yun Chuan scolded angrily in his heart.
