The team continued to move forward. As they approached the Royal City, the number of people around them gradually increased. People and animals began to come and go on the road. Large and small round spire yurts were scattered on the grassland, and stars surrounded the Royal City like a crescent moon.

General Timur and his soldiers were all in high spirits. They rode on horseback and pointed their whips in the direction of the royal city, shouting. The joy of returning home was beyond words.

Iron Hammer listened to their laughter and felt incredible: "A group of black-hearted people, it turns out that they also miss home."

Yes!

Chu Zhao looked at those people and showed a mocking smile.

They love their own homeland, but they invade other people's homes.

They missed their own relatives, but they went to massacre other people's relatives.

They burned, killed, and looted without mercy, but they claimed that they were righteous grassland men.

Sentence and ruthlessness exist paradoxically in the same person.

Ridiculous and logical.

It was getting late, so the team stopped dozens of miles away from the royal city and stayed at a herdsman's home.

Although they could rush there in the middle of the night, the royal city had already been closed by then, and King Beidi had already gone to bed and would not get up to meet them again. If he happened to get a new beautiful concubine, he would still be interrupted because of the interruption. Get angry in excitement.

Therefore, it is better to take a good rest tonight so that you can have the energy to deal with various unknown situations tomorrow.

General Timu told A'ao his idea, and A'ao thought it was okay, so everyone set up camp in the pasture in front of the herdsman's house, borrowed firewood and water from the herdsman, and bought a few sheep from the herdsman's house, and then killed them. Come to make dinner.

There is a little girl named Dolma who has just turned 12 years old in the herdsmen's home. She is very well-behaved and smart. She is busy helping them get things. However, it is already dark, but she is still covered with a thick black scarf and does not dare to show her true face. .

Chu Zhao knew a little about Beidi dialect, so he kindly asked her if there was any hidden disease on his face. If there was any, he could let her take a look. Maybe she could cure it.

Dolma's mother heard this and immediately took Dolma back to her yurt at home with vigilance, preventing her from contacting these people again.

Chu Zhao was very surprised and asked General Timu what was going on.

General Tiemu looked ashamed and murmured: "Maybe the child was born too good-looking."

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Are you afraid that someone would discover her beauty and take her away to offer to King Beidi?"

"Maybe!" General Temu said vaguely.

Chu Zhao couldn't believe it: "But she is only 12 years old, still a child."

General Tiemu sighed and said: "In the eyes of parents, she is a child, but in the eyes of others, she is just a beauty."

Chu Zhao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In the yurt, Dolma looked out through the small window, her bright eyes full of yearning for the outside world.

Dayan and Beidi are enemies. Chu Zhao knows that he shouldn't feel sorry for an enemy's child, but she is just a child!

She did not participate in the war, nor did she harm others. Just because she was good-looking, she had to live in fear every day, hiding her most glorious years in a thick black scarf and a yurt.

But she will eventually grow up, and her beauty cannot remain unknown forever. There is no telling when this beauty will bring her endless pain and disaster.

Chu Zhao couldn't bear to look any longer and was about to turn away when Zhuoma suddenly waved to her.

Chu Zhao thought for a while, then walked over and asked her what happened.

Zhuoma took two bracelets made of colorful silk threads and handed them to her, saying that they were made by herself and giving one to each of her and Tie Zhui.

The bracelet is colorful and decorated with several small silver bells, which is very beautiful.

Zhuoma shook her wrist to show Chu Zhao, meaning that the one she gave to Chu Zhao was the same as the one she wore.

Chu Zhao took it, smiled at her, said the bracelet was very beautiful, and praised her for her skill.

Zhuoma smiled happily and put her thin white hand on her heart to express her love for Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao felt soft and simply stretched out her uninjured hand and asked Dolma to help her put on the bracelet.

Dolma happily agreed and helped her put the bracelet on easily.

Chu Zhao shook his wrist, and the small silver bell made a pleasant sound.

Zhuoma also rang her bell and gave Chu Zhao a sweet smile through the black scarf.

Chu Zhao returned to the camp and gave the other bracelet to Iron Hammer.

Although Tie Shui is a girl, she never wears any jewelry, saying that it gets in the way and affects her ability to swing the hammer.

But the bracelet Dolma knitted was really cute, and the little girl loved it so Tiehui asked Chu Zhao to put the bracelet on for her for the first time, and even brought a roast leg of lamb to thank Dolma.

Chu Zhao didn't know what she was thinking. This sheep was bought from Zhuoma's family. Is she still hungry for this?

Iron Hammer doesn't care about this. In her opinion, roasted leg of lamb is a delicious thing. There is nothing wrong with using delicious things as a thank you gift.

Unfortunately, not long after she sent it there, Dolma's mother sent the leg of lamb back again, saying that she had a lot of sheep, and besides, the sheep were paid for by the guests, so they couldn't eat them.

Tie Chui sighed to Chu Zhao: "Actually, Beidi is not all bad people. At least the people are still very kind."

Where are the people who are not kind?

War has always been started by ambitious politicians in high positions. What does it have to do with the people?

Dolma's mother put down the leg of lamb and was about to leave. When she thought of something, she stopped and said to Chu Zhao: "When spring comes, our family will move to the depths of the grassland to graze. By then, Dolma can take off her face scarf." "

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned red for some reason. He nodded and said, "Okay, I hope you can go as far as possible. The further away, the better."

Dolma's mother bent down, bowed to her, and left the yurt.

Tie Zhui looked at her retreating back and sighed: "Fortunately, I don't look the way men like me."

"Who said that, I just like you like this." General Xiao came over in a mean manner, "Sister Iron Hammer, this kind of thing just happens to be in my heart!"

"..." Iron Hammer picked up the leg of lamb and hit him, "Smooth talker, eat my leg of lamb!"

General Xiao laughed and hid behind Chu Zhao: "Your Majesty, you see how fierce she is, do you still care about her?"

"I don't care." Chu Zhao said with a smile, "Isn't she your wife now? You can't control your wife yourself, but you still have the nerve to find me."

"I'm not, that's a lie." Tie Zhui said, "Your Majesty, don't even think about marrying me out of nowhere. I won't marry anyone except A'ao."

"Pfft..." A'ao was drinking kumiss and watching the fun. In a blink of an eye, the topic turned to him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of wine and choked and coughed.

The master and servants laughed together.

After dinner, Aao was called away by General Tiemu to discuss the meeting with King Beidi tomorrow. After Chu Zhao washed up, he rested with Tie Zhui.

It has to be said that the "cow dung ointment" used by Beidi military doctors is really effective. In just a few days, most of the wounds on her arms have healed, and new skin and flesh are slowly growing.

When the flesh grows, it is the most uncomfortable stage of wound healing. It will itch if you don’t scratch it, it will hurt if you scratch it, and it will be uncomfortable no matter what.

Chu Zhao couldn't bear the itching, so he tossed and turned on the floor and chatted with Tie Hammer for a long time before falling asleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she was suddenly awakened by a burst of noise. She sat up and heard from the noise a woman's cry and a man's curse, as well as the roar of a shepherd's dog and the neighing of a horse.

Chu Zhao had a gut feeling that something was going to happen, so he hurriedly pushed the hammer: "Tie Hammer, wake up quickly, there is a situation."
