Chapter 109 Beiyuan Treasure

Chapter 109 Beiyuan Treasure
The king's tent was filled with smoke, and the fires burning everywhere were gradually put out, emitting thick white smoke.
The white smoke made the only intact royal tent around appear darker.

"You useless people, he is the Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, how could he die? How did he die? How could he be here?"

A burly man grabbed a soldier, glared at him and cursed him.

The people beside him looked extremely unhappy.
Usar Khan is here,

So what were they doing while they were attacking for nearly two hours?
Who are you fighting against?

A soldier who was familiar with the inside story looked at the dark grassland king's tent and breathed a little faster.

This is the king's tent. What was it that they had taken with so much effort?
He was so angry that he kicked Usar Khan who was dragged out of the royal tent.

As soon as he took the first step, he began to regret it.

The surrounding environment suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other and stared at that man with strange expressions.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty was the orthodox one of the grasslands, and its Khan was like the emperor, with a noble status and representing the imperial power of the grasslands!
If this Usar Khan could survive to Yingtian, he would be able to share the honor with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
now
"What are you doing?"

Lan Yu returned to this place and let out a loud roar.
He then saw Usar Khan, half of his body exposed, his eyes were full of ferocity and his brows were twitching wildly!!!
“Who—who did it!!!”

The man who had just kicked turned pale.
Lu Yunyi, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes and held his breath.

Such behavior cannot escape the crime of disrespecting imperial authority.

Especially, that person actually kicked me.

Lan Yu raised his head abruptly, staring at the man intently, and spoke out word by word:

"Ying Yu, what do you want to do? Rebellion?"

The general from Yingyu suddenly felt that it was particularly hot today.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his hair stood on end, and he stammered, unable to speak for a while.

But he forced himself to cheer up and spoke tremblingly:
"General, I was anxious at the time, so I acted rashly."

"Who is he?"

"Toghon Temur."

"His identity."

"The Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is not the Khan."

Lan Yu suddenly laughed, his eyes cold as he looked them up and down:
"It seems that you also know that he is the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"Someone come! Catch them for me!"

Lan Yu's voice suddenly rose, carrying an anger that could not be concealed.

The soldiers around them had already disliked them.
At this moment, he kicked them from behind without any hesitation.

In an instant, the four of them stumbled and fell to the ground.
The soldiers stepped forward, took the hemp ropes, and tied him up.

"General, we were wrong. We were just impatient for a moment."

"General, we suffered heavy losses on the west side and did not find him.

After learning that Usar Khan was dead, I felt it was absurd and did this. "

Lan Yu understood and looked at them again, then waved his hand gently:
"You have disrespected the imperial authority and are lawless. Behead him."

"General!!!" Several people's voices were shrill, trembling like sieves, and their faces were pale.
Their screams grew farther and farther away,

But Lan Yu ignored it, his expression calm, and waved to the soldiers waiting on the side:

"Put Usar Khan in a safe place, build a coffin for him, and give it to the army's craftsmen. Instruct them to take good care of the body and bring it back to the capital."

"Yes!"

Lan Yu recruited another soldier:
"Order to spread the news that Usar Khan is dead.

Let those grassland people surrender as soon as possible, and then find the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to meet Wusar Khan for the last time."

"Yes!"

Lu Yunyi saw everything that Lan Yu did.

His eye sockets became deeper and deeper, and his emotions became more and more complicated.
Lan Yu knew that it was a sin to disrespect the imperial power, but he still did it.
This coincides with what he had imagined as a token of allegiance.

Lu Yunyi sighed silently, and once again realized what it meant to serve the emperor like serving a tiger.

Even a general with great military achievements like Lan Yu was no exception.

He immediately thought of Tian Baonu who left with the Northern Yuan Dynasty's Great Seal, and his thoughts became heavy for a moment.

This was the token of his allegiance that he wanted to make, but it was not the kind of token that the palace liked, and no one knew what kind of trouble this would bring him.

Fortunately, Usar Khan died here. At least the battle was won fairly and it gave some explanation to the palace.

Lu Yunyi looked at Usar Khan, who was lying on the ground with his eyes open and a calm expression, and felt mixed emotions.

There are very few people in this world who have the experience of being an emperor and speaking what the emperor really thinks.

Lu Yunyi sighed softly, stepped forward and squatted slightly.
He wiped Usar Khan's face and closed his eyes.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Usar Khan seemed to become calmer.

Soon, the Princess of Beiyuan was brought over by the soldiers,

The Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was wearing a luxurious and solemn robe, which was a little dirty, making her look a little embarrassed.
She paused in front of the king's tent, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly stepped into the deep and solemn king's tent.

The candlelight flickered in the tent, illuminating every inch of space as if covered with a layer of faint sadness.

As soon as I entered the king's tent, I saw a familiar figure sitting on the long table.

Princess Beiyuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and her steps slowed down, taking only a small step each time.
Just so slowly, little by little,

But what is coming will not be absent, and we must always face it.

She finally stood before Usar Khan.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and her eyes became empty little by little.

The Khan who had galloped across the grasslands with her and watched the sunrise and sunset together, now lay there quietly, his face pale and peaceful.
The princess' eyes instantly became moist, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Her heart felt like it was being cut by a sharp knife, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

Shocked, sad, confused, powerless,
It's like a violent storm on the grassland, surging and violent, but with nowhere to vent.

She stretched out her hand, trembling as she tried to touch that familiar face.

The fingertips stopped an inch away from his cheek, stayed there for a long time, and then slowly moved forward.

When the cold touch came, it completely broke the last psychological defense of Princess Beiyuan.

The air around me seemed heavy with sadness.
The princess' hysterical crying drowned out the neighing of horses and the whistling of the wind.

At this moment, she felt unprecedented loneliness and helplessness.

The royal court was gone, the Khan was dead, and his two sons were missing.
Even the 'sinners' of the grassland who regarded her as a god were now being killed one by one.

The Princess of Beiyuan's haggard face turned even paler, her gaze froze as she stared blankly at the person in front of her.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. Lu Yunyi, standing at the entrance of the military tent, watched the scene quietly with calm eyes and an empty mind.

The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit.

The Mongol Empire, which lasted for nearly two hundred years, came to an end today.

As a person who had experienced it personally, Lu Yunyi felt sad, lost, shocked and in awe.

A few strokes in the history books are mountains of blood and mountains of corpses, thousands of grievances and hatreds.
Everyone has a turbulent life.

The Princess of Beiyuan stayed in the royal tent for a long time.

Until the battlefield outside was almost cleaned up,

A red light appeared in the sky, and then he walked out step by step.

She seemed to have regained her former dignity, with her hands in front of her, her face calm, quietly looking at the ruins in front of her. Lu Yunyi, who had been waiting outside early, slowly stood up.
He looked dilapidated and depressed. He hadn't rested for three days.

Despite this, he still forced himself to cheer up and walked over, forcing a smile and whispered:
"Princess, the general ordered me to look after you. If you have anything on your mind, please feel free to speak up."

The Beiyuan Princess's dull eyes moved little by little.

Finally, he turned his attention to the famous General 'Arisleng'.

She looked at Lu Yunyi and nodded calmly:
"General Arsleng, you look even more majestic in your armor."

For safety reasons, after the follow-up soldiers arrived,

Lu Yunyi has already put on the standard armor.

Although he looked tired now, his tall stature and handsome appearance,
And the murderous aura that was faintly revealed still made him look extraordinary.
"Princess, you are too kind. My name is Lu Yunyi, and I am the commander of the vanguard of the army." Lu Yunyi introduced himself.

A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the Princess of Beiyuan.

It was this man who led the army to launch a surprise attack on the central army, causing the entire court to fall without any resistance.

After taking a deep breath, Princess Beiyuan's expression gradually calmed down and she said in a cold voice:

"I want to see Lan Yu."

"The general is handling military affairs. If the princess has anything to say, you can tell me."

Hearing this, a trace of determination flashed in the eyes of Princess Beiyuan, as well as a trace of deep hidden sadness:
"The Khan is dead, and Taiji Tianbaonu is nowhere to be found.
I am the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. I am willing to surrender with my face tied up, and I hope the Ming Dynasty will stop killing me."

Lu Yunyi's eyes suddenly widened, he was stunned for a moment, and excitement surged in his heart.

It dropped? Just like that?

As she said, the people in charge of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are missing, and the princess can indeed represent the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

What's more, she has great prestige in the hearts of the "sinners". Once these words are spoken, the war on the grassland can be stopped.

Lu Yunyi looked at the soldiers beside him and immediately ordered:

"Go and tell the general immediately that the princess is willing to represent the Northern Yuan Dynasty and throw down her arms!"

The soldier's face was solemn, his posture was serious, and he left quickly.

Seeing the soldiers leave, Princess Beiyuan turned her gaze to Lu Yunyi and spoke softly:
"General Arsleng, can you tell me something about the Khan?"

There was a hint of expectation in her eyes, and her voice, though cold, was pleading.

Lu Yunyi thought about it and nodded gently: "Princess, please return to the king's tent."

The two returned to the king's tent, and the Princess of Beiyuan sat at the familiar seat at the head of the table.
Realizing that the person next to him had fallen silent forever, his expression darkened a little.

Lu Yunyi stood at the entrance of the king's tent so that the soldiers outside the tent could see his boots.

Then, Lu Yunyi repeated the speech he had prepared earlier.
How Usar Khan fled, how he was pursued,
How Tianbaonu disappeared and how Usar Khan committed suicide in the end.

Hearing this, Princess Beiyuan secretly shed tears and could hardly control herself.

After a long time, she finally calmed down a little bit and slowly raised her head.

Looking at General Arisleng in front of him, he spoke word by word:
"you are lying"

"The Khan is the most resilient man in the world. How could he commit suicide because of defeat?"

Lu Yunyi was silent. He couldn't tell the Beiyuan Princess the truth.
I couldn't tell him where Tianbao Nu was, so I could only remain silent.

Seeing that Lu Yunyi didn't say anything, Princess Beiyuan knew that it was useless to say more, so she straightened her body and looked solemn:

"How is Ming going to resettle the people of the grassland?"

"It is up to the court to decide. I have no idea."

"I heard that some grassland people live in your border cities and garrisons. Can the surviving grassland people go there?" Princess Beiyuan spoke again.

"I don't know. The court will make the decision."

Princess Beiyuan's eyes dimmed and she slowly raised her head:
"I can help you appease the people of the grassland, I just hope that Ming can give them a place to stay.
They followed the king's tent from Khorin to Jinshan, and then to what is now Buir Lake.
They don't say it, but I know.
They are tired of living in exile.

I just hope that the Ming Kingdom can give them a place to stay.”

Princess Beiyuan stared at Lu Yunyi in amazement.

Even if the person in front of her has no say, she can still convey her meaning to the general of Ming.

The person who could go deep into the grassland and impersonate "Arisleng" was undoubtedly Lan Yu's confidant.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Princess Beiyuan lowered her eyes, and the dullness in her eyes dissipated a little, replaced by calmness:
"The people of the grasslands do not accept the rule of the king. Compared with the Yuan Dynasty,

The people have become so ignorant that they are no better than wild beasts. If you want to keep them safe, simply appeasing them will not work. "

The princess pursed her lips, slowly raised her head, and looked determined:
“To scare them.”

Lu Yunyi frowned slightly: "What do you mean, Princess?"

"The Khan is dead, the Taiji is nowhere to be found, and I am the only one left. As long as I die,
The people of the grassland will not be able to hold on and will be afraid of you, and you can drive them around at will.

They are actually very well behaved, they just want to eat some food, it doesn't matter if they are not full,

Arsleng, when you were in the royal court, the Khan often mentioned you to me.
He said that you are the future king of the grassland and he hopes to adopt you as his son to help Di Baonu.

I thought so too, but I didn't expect you to be a Ming citizen."

Princess Beiyuan sighed softly, with a self-deprecating look on her face:
"Now think about it, how could there be two heroes in the grassland at the same time? It is only possible in the Ming Dynasty.
I hope you will consider our past friendship and ask for help from Ming.
The living people on the grassland just need a place to live.

I heard you are building the Great Wall, you can let them go there.
The people of the grasslands are not afraid of hardship, but they are afraid of hunger. "

Lu Yunyi frowned, knowing the thoughts of these big shots at all times.

The Queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty also obviously realized that after the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty,

It is impossible for her, who holds such an important position in the hearts of the "sinners" on the grassland, to survive.

A cold wind blew through the king's tent, making the atmosphere heavy and silent.

After a long time, Lu Yunyi's voice slowly rang out:
"I will report this matter to the general. As for how the court decides, it is not up to me to decide."

The eyes of the Princess of Beiyuan sparkled, as if her longing in her heart had come true.
She seemed to have lost her energy and became listless.
"Okay, I'll wait."

Lu Yunyi was silent. Things seemed to be back on track. Everyone had their own mission and role.

Even though there was some deviation, by some strange coincidence, we ended up at this point.

The Princess of Beiyuan looked haggard, and gently pointed to the teapot and teacup covered with soot on the side:
"General Arsleng, please pour me a glass of water."

Lu Yunyi did not hesitate. He took out a linen cloth to wipe the cup clean, poured a cup of herbal tea, slowly walked to the top and handed it over.

Princess Beiyuan smiled gently, took the teacup, lowered her voice and said quickly:
"Help me make this happen, and I will tell you where the Yuan Court's hidden treasure is.
That was what Emperor Shun left behind when he left Dadu. It has part of Ming territory and part of grassland.”

Lu Yunyi's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head abruptly, staring straight at the Princess of Beiyuan.

Emperor Shun was the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Toghon Temur.

He fled when the Red Turban Army captured Dadu.

"The people of the grassland can no longer die. They can become Ming people. You have been in the royal court, and you know that they want to become Ming people."

"Please" The former dignity of the Princess of Beiyuan disappeared, replaced by begging...
Lu Yunyi pursed his lips, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He thought about many things in an instant, whether this treasure would bring him death, and how to deal with it most appropriately.
Or, just ignore it.

Seeing his hesitation, Princess Beiyuan showed a hint of emotion on her face, and quickly took out a piece of hollow white jade from her bosom.
It is square, with four often angular sides, and multi-layered three-dimensional carvings. The frame is a high relief with cloud patterns and peonies engraved on it.

Princess Beiyuan stuffed the white jade into Lu Yunyi's hands, with an expectant look on her face:

“Something is inside”
