Chapter 932 Coercion

It has been two days since a group of Tatars came to the ranks of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The weather was clear, and the red sun emerged on the flat horizon. On the road far away, the people at the front lined up in a large line, setting off in the direction of the rising sun. Asari looked for a while, and of course he could see that people still had to go east today.

It is said that it was through the Ming Dynasty, but after the Tatars came here, it seemed that it was not so easy to escape north. All kinds of worries and random thoughts were accumulating in Asari's mind.

The Han people who once fought side by side also fought bloody battles to protect Asari and others; but the situation changed a little, the Han people became the biggest threat to everyone.

At this moment, Asari suddenly discovered that two men were watching her son. One of them was wearing a colorful brocade robe, a black hat, and a single knife robe on his waist; the other was wearing armor. The man in the armor was pointing at the child, while the man in the brocade robe looked in the direction and nodded gently.

Asari felt nervous and felt that something was wrong. There were many families in the remnants of the Tatar tribe and more than a few children. Why were the two Han people alone observing her son?

After a while, the man in the brocade robe walked over with a bunch of candied haws, handed it to the prince without a smile, and then reached out to touch his head.

Asari finally resisted it and did not rush forward to stop the brocade robe man. She knew that she had no way to stop Ming people from doing anything at this time. The rash reaction would only make things worse.

Fortunately, the man in the brocade robe gave the candied haws and left quickly. After the little prince ate it, he didn't see anything unusual. I think even if the Ming people had to deal with a child, they wouldn't be poisoned in public. Asari was still too concerned, so he thought more.

After the Ming army soldiers collected the tents, the Tatars gathered one after another, some riding horses and some walking, and everyone followed the Ming army brigade.

Asari rode a horse to Tuohuochi and whispered: "I don't know what's going on, the people of Ming Dynasty may have known the child's identity."

Recently, Tuohuochi seemed to be in a heavy mood. He glanced at Asari and said, "Concubine Khan is too concerned about the prince. We always think that we can hide our worries, but it is difficult."

"What should I do?" Asari asked with a frown.

There was no answer to the fire.

Asari thought for a while and asked again: "How did they know that the people of Ming Dynasty can know in advance that the Oirats want to intercept us?"

The fire-drawn still didn't say anything.

Asari was silent for a while, and couldn't help but say with doubts: "According to the general of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty received some news and made some inferences. What kind of news is that?"

Tuhuochi finally spoke, "Concubine Khan should not ask too much, it will be of no help to be anxious. Wait and see first."

Asari's heart was like a ball of fire, and she could no longer stand the attitude of removing the fire. But she had no choice but to finally endure it, then sighed, and had to give up.

In the afternoon of the same day, the army stopped moving forward. People entered a village and town. Asari and others were arranged to a brick and tile yard. After a while, two handsome Han girls came, wearing moon and white skirts and a eunuch. The eunuch was quite young and claimed to be his surname Wang.

The eunuch Wang said slowly in Chinese: "I heard that Concubine Khan understands Chinese?"

Asari nodded and said yes.

The eunuch said: "Tuhuochi is the prime minister of Mongolia, and Concubine Khan is the former Concubine Khan of Mongolia. The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so today, the minister of Dali Temple, the princess of Qi, hosted a banquet for Prime Minister of Tuhuochi, and the imperial concubine and the concubine of Virtue invited Concubine Khan to have a meal together. You prepare, and our family will send someone to welcome Concubine Khan before the hour of You."

Asari said: "Thank you for your kindness in the imperial concubine."

The eunuch turned his head and said, "I'm happy to serve Concubine Khan."

The two little ladies bent their knees and said, "Yes."

The eunuch held the whisk and bowed again, said "goodbye", and turned around and left.

The little girl was busy boiling water, and she had to serve Asari to take a shower and change clothes first, and brought some clean clothes.

The Mongolians usually don’t take a bath. The Asuth tribe is originally a Persian. After living in the Mongolian grassland for a long time, their habits become the same as those of the Mongolians. Women also use cloth towels to wet them and wipe their bodies. However, Asali did not refuse to take a bath, and she didn’t think much about it. Perhaps she felt that the Han people were still kind at this time, and she subconsciously and carefully acted better with each other.

Asari was very adaptable during the bathing process, and did not feel unhappy at all. The warm water sprinkled with petals filled with fragrance, and the little girl applied various balms and powders to her and then washed them. Although the customs were different, Asari felt that women seemed to be born to a comfortable and comfortable environment.

She changed into soft and clean underwear, but the clothes outside were not given by Han people, and she was still wearing her Asut robe.

In the evening, Asari came to the place where the imperial concubines were staying for dinner, and immediately felt that she was out of place with the Han women.

The two imperial concubines are very beautiful. Their appearances look completely unearthed. They have neither the sun nor the aura related to the land and grasslands. They are like fairies without dust. The imperial concubines should not only bathe and clean frequently, but also have very finely decorated edges. The black hair and delicate and fair skin are surrounded by silk and jewelry.

Ashalee's mood was a bit complicated. She despised the luxury and artificiality of these women, and was weak and useless. She looked at them and did not do anything at all, let alone the ability to ride horses and shoot archers. At the same time, she was amazed at their beauty and luxury. As a woman, Ashalee knew in her heart that men would like to look at such women without considering the role of women.

Several women were having dinner together, and from time to time they talked about their experiences along the way and their respective living customs. Asari was also paying attention to the two imperial concubines, the highest-ranking imperial concubine, who looked like the princess described in the story, with delicate facial features, graceful figure, and a comfortable smile in her bright eyes. The other imperial concubine was very attractive, wearing a wide robe and a bulging chest, with a concave figure, a beautiful oval face with red lips and white teeth, smooth and fair skin, and bright radiant.

Compared with the women of the Asut tribe, the imperial concubines have typical Han faces, and their faces are not very prominent. However, Asari has seen many other Mongolians and some Han slaves, and is used to it.

Asari used to be especially wary of the enemy's greed for her beauty, because if a woman in the Mongolian tribe is stolen, she would almost belong to someone else's property. But after seeing these two imperial concubines, Asari no longer worried about Emperor Zhu Er.

The princesses praised Asari for her beauty several times, maybe because of being kind, but Asari was quite happy.

After dinner, Asari returned to the brick-walled yard where they lived, and for a moment he became quite curious about Emperor Zhu Er. Although she was worried that the emperor would be unfavorable to her son, today's peaceful dinner made her feel that the Han people did not seem to be too hostile. After all, on the grassland, if a Mongolian was invited to enjoy food together, it would be a great kindness.

However, the interaction between Tuhuochi and the Minister of the Ming Dynasty did not seem to be so pleasant.

The next day, Asari saw Tuohuochi, Tuohuochi said something and said, "It's like the Hongmen Banquet in the Han Dynasty."

Asari, who was confused by the friendly Han people last night, suddenly woke up a little. After a while, she felt something was wrong again: "The Oirats attacked us and the Ming army's guards, but my elder brother sent envoys to discuss peace and receive titles. Why did the Ming army use force against the Tatars? Is there anything that the Prime Minister hides from me?"

Tuohuochi was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't ask too much now, there is no benefit. The Ming people will have no choice but to do anything to you. Next, they may have to do everything to you. If they approach the prince, they want to threaten Concubine Han."

He said a little more today, and then said, "I guess that the Ming people don't want to break up with us for the time being. Concubine Han has weaknesses and is the most likely choice to be broken through."

Asari was still full of doubts, and she asked, "Will you tell me the truth after returning to the grassland?"

Fire-off Equator: "If you can go back, you will understand."

Asari's mood gradually became heavier after hearing this. She looked up at the surrounding scenery. Large fields, vegetable fields, and villages were scattered among them. Everything strange was that she began to miss the four seasons of the grassland, cattle, sheep and tents. Ming Dynasty had its own good places, but she was more willing to return to the familiar land where there were friends she knew and lifestyles that made her happy...

Sure enough, Tuohuochi guessed correctly. The next morning, Emperor Zhu Er sent someone to summon Asari.

Asari was nervous, and on the one hand, she was indeed a little curious and wanted to see what the particularly powerful and wise Emperor of Ming Dynasty looked like, but on the other hand, she was worried that the emperor would coerce the prince and force her to explain what she didn't know.

She walked through the barriers of the guards and came to a camp, and saw some soldiers collecting tents. She waited for a while and was taken to the front.

There were several people standing in front of various ceremonies, and Asari bowed while looking at it. The Mongolians usually didn't speak when they saluted.

The man standing in the middle with a horse wearing a dragon robe, probably the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He was burly, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his coppery skin was a little rough, which seemed to be inconsistent with the luxurious clothes on his body. His nobleness was purely set off by the decoration on his body. Asari felt that such a man who was obviously often exposed to the wind and sun.

On the contrary, the two people around the emperor were more handsome. One was a little older and the other was very young. At first glance, he was a good person.

Emperor Zhu Er looked at Asari and said, "Cain Khan can ride a horse? You go with us and say a few words on the way."

Asari nodded and said, "As for your order."
