Chapter 82: Intimate Aunt Yarong

Chapter 82: Intimate Aunt Yarong
The two of them felt relaxed and after some wandering, they finally arrived at the tent where Ortai was.

He was busy in front of the tent, slaughtering a fresh lamb, with a fire next to him.

There were two waiters beside me helping to apply the condiments.

Seeing the two coming, Ortai's eyes flashed with joy and he straightened up quickly:

"My Lords, you are here so early. I am not ready yet."

Lu Yunyi waved his hand: "Why don't you let the waiter do these things? You have been fighting all night, you should rest."

Ortai regained his composure and smiled:

"My mother once said that we should treat guests with respect.
Only when you cook the food yourself can you feel the respect for your guests. "

It must be said that Ortai has a natural affinity.

When these words came out of his mouth, Lu Yunyi could only feel their sincerity.

"Thank you very much, Ertai."

"My lords, please enter the tent first. We will have some bean flour and lamb at noon, and then we will have a feast at the gathering in the afternoon."

Lu Yunyi shook his head slowly, stepped forward and patted his shoulder:

"Ertai, we appreciate your kindness. Please leave this matter to the waiter.

Come and chat with us. I just came back from the Second Prince and have some things to tell him."

Ortai's face became solemn, he hesitated for a moment, and nodded heavily:

"Then please wait for a moment, Your Highness Arsleng, I'll wash my hands."

"Um"

After saying this, the two of them went straight into the military tent.

Inside the military tent, a woman in her thirties was busy.

The woman was dressed in simple and elegant clothes and had a belt embroidered with an eagle around her waist, which made her look dignified and graceful yet graceful.

Her hair was carefully tied up, revealing a face as gentle as jade. Although there were traces of time in the corners of her eyes, they were still clear and bright, sparkling with softness.

At this moment, she was standing in front of the stove, skillfully stir-frying the bean noodles in the pot.

The firelight shone on her face, casting a faint blush.

Her charm has been tempered by the years, becoming more calm and moving.

The two stood at the entrance of the tent, Liu Heiying looked at her blankly, and Lu Yunyi looked at him blankly.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Hearing the sound, Yarong slowly raised her head, with sweat clearly visible on her forehead.
When she saw the two people coming, stars seemed to appear in her eyes, becoming brighter and brighter, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was no longer hidden.

"Your Highness Arsileng, Lord Cyber ​​Black Hawk, you are here." Yarong's voice was soft, like a spring breeze.

The two bowed slightly: "Greetings, Aunt."

"Why are you two so polite?"

Yarong smiled brightly, washed her hands on one side, and walked over with a smile on her face, saying as she walked:

"You two have returned in triumph. Look what I have prepared for you."

The two looked curious, and soon Yarong came out from the inner room, holding two carefully woven wreaths in her hands.
She slowly walked up to the two of them, looked them up and down for a moment, nodded slightly, and said with admiration:
"Although the two adults are young, they have already made outstanding contributions and are already adults."

There was a tone of doting in Yarong's voice, her eyes curved into two crescents, and she gently placed the wreaths on the two's heads.

"Well, not bad. It seems my skills haven't deteriorated."

Lu Yunyi felt strange in his heart and took a deep breath.
He could no longer look down on this woman and became secretly alert in his heart.

It really takes some tricks for an orphan and a widow to survive in this royal court surrounded by wolves.

Liu Heiying's eyes were filled with tears. He suddenly felt aggrieved and wanted to throw himself into Yarong's arms and cry.
I grew up without a mother, lonely and helpless.
Because of her unpleasant appearance, she did not even receive a wreath when she entered the camp.
Now feeling the light weight on his head, Liu Heiying felt complicated and speechless for a moment.

Yarong even helped him straighten the wreath on his head and said with a smile:

"Wearing the wreath, Lord Cyber ​​Black Hawk became much less fierce.
You should smile more often. Girls won’t like you if you have a stern face all day long at such a young age.”

Liu Heiying's face had turned dark red, and he was at a loss as to hold onto the wreath:
"I'll pay attention."

Yarong smiled slightly: "I should be the one to thank. Ortai has always been a bit weak since he was a child.
It was only after the arrival of the two adults that I became more resolute.

When he came back today, he told me that he had killed enemies and made great contributions on the battlefield. He was a brave warrior of the grassland.

I am very happy, so I want to make some food to entertain the two adults, please don't mind, Your Highness."

"How could that be? I love bean noodles the most!" Liu Heiying said impatiently.

Lu Yunyi nodded gently: "Thank you, auntie. You go ahead and do your work. I have something to tell Ortai."

"Okay." Yarong bowed slightly and slowly turned back to the stove.

The two of them went straight into the tent. Lu Yunyi looked alert and warned:
"You have to be careful. This woman has some tricks."

"What?" Liu Heiying moved his eyes away from the wreath in his hand, looking surprised.

"I told you to be careful."

Liu Heiying blinked and smiled easily:
"Don't worry, Brother Yun'er. We are not confused about major issues. We were able to raise Ertai and have a good relationship with the princess. It can't be simple."

Hearing him say this, Lu Yunyi felt relieved.

The two waited for a while, and Ortai came over, but they could still smell a faint smell of blood on his body.

With his arrival, the waiter also served some small dishes and fine wine. It is worth mentioning that
Today is the New Year on the Prairie, and the royal court has distributed some fine wine, which is clearer than the last time I saw it.

The three of them sat opposite each other. A trace of uneasiness appeared on Ortai's face. He looked at Lu Yunyi:
"Lord Arsleng, what does the Second Prince say?"

A trace of regret appeared on his face. Every night,

He always makes decisions easily, but regrets it the next day. It is the same now.
Thinking of his bold words yesterday, Ortai couldn't help but feel afraid and hesitated a little.

Lu Yunyi smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Seeing that they had also finished the wine in the glass, he said:
"Don't worry, I am responsible for what happened yesterday.
But the Second Prince also knows that we have our reasons and are devoted to the Lord.
So there was some anger, but no punishment.”

After hearing this, Ertai finally breathed a sigh of relief, showing relief on his face, and said with emotion:
"Now when I think about the madness of last night, I even doubt that it wasn't me."

He looked at Liu Hei Ying again and asked, "Master Hei Ying, how many heads did I behead yesterday?"

"Nineteen." Liu Heiying uttered a number, which suddenly increased the murderous aura in the military tent.

When Ortai heard this number, he was also a little frightened.

But what followed was ecstasy, as he could finally be considered a prairie warrior.

But Liu Heiying's next words made him put away his anxiety:

"You were able to kill them like this because we outnumbered them. They were powerless to defend themselves, so we just had to chop them off.

Second, you are from a grassland noble family, and their armor cannot stop your sword.

The third is that you are excited and can fully display your abilities.

That’s why you can be so successful, so you can’t be proud.”

For some reason, Lu Yunyi heard this.
Suddenly there was a sense of familiarity, like the admonitions of an old father teaching his son.

And Ortai listened seriously.

Sometimes his face was solemn, sometimes he nodded, and sometimes he looked enlightened.
Until Liu Heiying pointed out his many mistakes on the battlefield,
Ortai let out a long sigh, raised his glass, and said respectfully:

"Thank you Lord Black Hawk for your teachings. We are true friends." Liu Black Hawk smiled, drank the wine in the glass, and looked happy.

Naturally, the wine from the grassland cannot compare to the fine wine from the Ming Dynasty.

But after yesterday's battle, the murderous spirit in his heart was released, and Liu Heiying felt relaxed.

The three of them chatted idly.

After a while, Ortai's expression became more and more serious. He looked at Lu Yunyi and asked softly:

"Your Highness Arsleng, Ortai has something to say, but I don't know if I should ask."

Lu Yunyi and Liu Heiying looked at each other with serious expressions.

Liu Heiying drank the wine in the glass, stood up with a smile and said, "I'll go help my aunt."

Ortai blinked and said quickly, "Master Black Hawk."

"Hey~ I don't want to get involved in your affairs.
I am a narrow-minded person. I can't help but take things to heart when I hear too much. I feel uneasy. What do you think?"

After saying this, he walked away, straightening the wreath on his head.

Ortai looked strange, thought about it carefully, and said:
"Your Highness Arsleng, I am sorry for being so presumptuous."

"It's okay. Just tell me what you want to say."

Ertai looked solemn: "Ertai wants to ask what the Second Prince thinks?"

Lu Yunyi thought about it and did not answer immediately, but asked back:
"Why don't you ask yourself? You have been following the Second Prince since you were a child.

My aunt is also a good friend of the princess. If you ask, the Second Prince will not hide it from you."

"I... I'm a little scared and I dare not ask." Ortai lowered his head and sighed softly.

"Well, fear is human nature.

But don't worry, the Second Prince has the same idea, otherwise he would not let us do such a thing.

Moreover, I think you have seen clearly what Tianbao Nutaiji looks like.
If this huge royal court is handed over to Tianbao Nutaiji, I am afraid...”

Lu Yunyi paused, looked carefully at the historic wine glass in his hand, and sighed softly:
"I'm afraid that the days of leisurely drinking here will no longer exist. The Ming people will attack us, and we will die on the battlefield."

As he spoke, a trace of fear appeared in Lu Yunyi's eyes, and his voice was hollow:

"Ertai, you have never fought against the Ming army, so you don't know how terrifying they are.
At this moment, even if the royal court was several times stronger, it would still be no match for the Ming Kingdom.

But even so, we can't give up.
Only the Second Prince can take over the Khan's mantle and make us grassland people prosperous again."

Although Ortai's eyes were filled with fear, a trace of determination emerged from his body. He nodded heavily:
"Your Highness Arsleng, don't worry...I will always support you, and so will my mother."

As he spoke, his expression became somewhat gloomy. He tilted his head and lowered his voice:

"I will ask my mother to praise the Second Prince more when chatting with the Princess.

As long as we win the support of the princess, the tribesmen outside the camp will support the Second Prince!"

Lu Yunyi's pupils shrank slightly, a flash of shock flashed across his face, and he asked with some confusion:
"Princess, do you have such great abilities?"

Ortai nodded solemnly:

"If there had been no princess these years, I don't know how many of my people would have died.

Those adults would deduct all their food rations and not give them a single cent.

It was because the princess had been against the adults over the years that the tribesmen had not starved to death.

I have some doubts that the Khan instructed the princess to do all this.”

Ortai's eyes were evasive, and it was obvious that he was also a little confused.

Lu Yunyi fell silent after hearing this, and nodded slightly after a long while.
Sensing that the atmosphere was somewhat solemn, he gently waved his hand, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and showed appreciation:

"You are right, Ortai, you are smarter than I thought.
But today is the New Year, and there will be a party at the royal court this afternoon. It is a happy day, so don’t let such heavy things affect your mood.”

"You are right, Your Highness Arsleng."

At night, after the sun sets, bonfires throughout the grassland royal court are lit, and the towering orange-red flames seem to illuminate the sky.

A warm atmosphere began to spread in the royal court.
The aroma of meat and wine spread everywhere, making the people on the grassland who smelled it feel a little drunk.

In the huge square in front of the king's tent, flames shot up into the sky.

Tables were set out, with fine wine and delicious food on them.

The dignitaries sat behind him, toasting each other with undisguised smiles on their faces.

Lu Yunyi did not sit with Liu Heiying.
Instead, he was placed near Dibaonu, which was also close to the Khan and the princess.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the royal court became increasingly heated.

There were already quite a few people singing loudly on one side of the campfire, looking happy.

At this time, the land security guard with a slightly red face came over with a large jar of wine, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He sat next to Lu Yunyi, and the strong smell of alcohol hit him.

When he sat down, the blur in Dibaonu's eyes disappeared a little, and he became clear again. He sighed softly, looking a little lost:
"Arisleng, Tianbaonu is even more shameless than I thought."

"What happened?" Lu Yunyi asked.

"Tianbao slave did not inform the king of the matter of the soldiers.
He said he had found traces of the Ming army and the soldiers were chasing after them.
Hahaha. They went after someone. The adults in the royal court even praised the soldiers for their bravery. "

Dibaonu stumbled a little when he spoke.

He had not anticipated this change at all.

He drank the wine in the bowl and continued:
"You're right. They are unreliable. I can already guess what Tianbaonu will say.
They would blame the Ming army for the deaths and injuries of their soldiers, and even accuse some of the Ming people of being cunning! ! "

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the land security slave:
"Arsleng, I don't know why he can still tolerate it even after it has come to this.

To be honest, I am ready to fight to the death with Tianbao Nu today.

Just when I was mobilizing the troops and notifying you all, the Tianbao slaves just stopped their actions?"

Lu Yunyi also opened his mouth slightly
After thinking about it, Lu Yunyi felt that he should give a few reminders:
"Your Highness, please be careful. It is possible that Tianbao Nutaiji is hiding a weapon and waiting for the right time to strike.

Wait until we relax, and then you can deal us a fatal blow."

"I will." Di Baonu's voice became lower and lower, full of disappointment.

He would rather Tianbao Nu was furious than have this happen.

Lu Yunyi had a deep understanding of his appearance.
How strong a person is sometimes depends on his opponent.
Tianbao Nu is so cowardly that it seems that Dibao Nu is also useless.

Dibaonu suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp, and looked straight at Arsleng:
"Tomorrow I will propose military training at the court meeting.
We can even be more radical and send soldiers to explore the south.

Now the Ming people are in control, and we are giving in step by step.
But your words today woke me up. We can't do this.
You have to take the initiative, so you have a chance."

Lu Yunyi's eyes lit up. This was a good thing. As long as Wang Ting didn't run away, everything would be fine!
So he nodded firmly:

"Your Highness is wise!"

"I plan to let you lead the soldiers to look for the traces of the Ming people. What do you think?" There was a gleam in Di Baonu's eyes, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Lu Yunyi's face was dull, and he was filled with ecstasy. He bowed quickly:

"I am willing to serve the Second Prince at my utmost."
