Tie Zhui was woken up and helped Chu Zhao put on his clothes and shoes. They walked out of the tent together and saw a group of people riding horses and running towards the distance.

Dolma's mother sat on the ground and cried loudly, while her father and brother rode horses to chase the group.

General Temu and his soldiers were there, everyone just stood quietly, no one had any intention of lending a helping hand.

A'ao was tightly grabbed by the wrist by General Tiemu. When he saw Chu Zhao coming out, he threw General Tiemu away hard and walked quickly to Chu Zhao: "Your Majesty, why did you come out?"

"I heard someone crying, so I came out to take a look." Chu Zhao asked him, "What just happened?"

A'ao looked solemn: "The little girl named Zhuoma was snatched away by the Beidi King's people."

"What?" Chu Zhao was shocked. He looked at him and then at General Timu, "There are so many of you, why didn't you stop us?"

"We can't stop him. He is the most honorable person around the king, and he knows me." General Tiemu said, "If I stop him, and he goes back and tells the king, we will be in big trouble."

"So, you just watched them kidnap people?" Chu Zhao became angry, pointed at him and the soldiers behind him, and said loudly, "That girl is only 12 years old, she is still a child. How did you remain indifferent?"

The soldiers all lowered their heads.

General Temu also blushed.

The cry of Zhuoma's mother reached everyone's ears, cutting through their hearts like a knife.

But the man who snatched Dolma wanted to offer it to the king. If they save him today, they will be the ones who die tomorrow.

Chu Zhao walked to Zhuoma's mother and signaled the hammer to help her up.

"Child, my child..." Zhuoma's mother cried so hard that she couldn't stand. She was holding a bracelet in her hand, and the small silver bell on the bracelet made a crisp sound.

It was dropped when Dolma and the gang were torn apart.

Chu Zhao looked at the bracelet, and his throat suddenly choked. The scene of the little girl smiling at her while shaking the bell was still in front of him, but the person had already fallen into the hands of the devil.

"Go and chase them. What are you doing standing there? Go and chase them back!" She turned around and shouted at General Timu and the soldiers.

But everyone was silent, and no one gave her any response.

"I don't believe you don't have sisters." Chu Zhao said angrily, "Aao, Hammer, prepare your horses, let's go after them."

Aao also couldn't bear it. After hearing Chu Zhao's words, he no longer hesitated: "Your Majesty has a wound on his hand. Let General Xiao stay with you here while Tie Chui and I go after him."

"Young Master, you can't go." General Tiemu stopped him, "It's not that we don't want to save you, you still don't understand the king's methods..."

"I don't need to understand." A'ao said, "You are so afraid of him, it makes me doubt whether I should cooperate with you."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to push him away, and together with Tie Hammer, they rode horses and chased in the direction where the group left.

General Temu stood there with a stern expression, and murmured: "You don't understand anything..."

"This is not a question of ignorance, but a question of courage." Chu Zhao said, "Aren't you the most bloody men on the grassland? Don't you want to do big things? Isn't this the only courage that people who do big things have? "

"It is precisely because we want to do big things that we have to be patient now." General Temu said.

Chu Zhao sneered: "Then you can continue to endure it. I want to see what results you can endure."

General Tiemu wanted to say something else, but Chu Zhao didn't want to hear it anymore. He called General Xiao and helped Zhuoma's mother back to the yurt.

Dolma's mother's voice was hoarse from crying and she had dried up her tears. She sat dumbly and said nothing, clutching Dolma's bracelet tightly in her hand.

Chu Zhao didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to sit with her silently.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of horse hooves was heard outside, and someone shouted: "Back, back..."

Zhuoma's mother jumped up and ran out. Chu Zhao and General Xiao hurriedly followed.

As soon as they went out, they saw Tie Zhui and Aao approaching on horseback, each holding a horse in their hands, which was the horse of Zhuoma's father and brother.

There is a corpse on each horse, it is Dolma and her father.

Zhuoma's brother was injured but not dead. He was tied behind his back by A'ao with a rope as he lay dying.

Dolma's mother let out a heart-piercing cry and fainted on the spot.

General Temu signaled the soldiers to come forward to help and lift the man off the horse.

Dolma's body was laid flat on the ground, and the black scarf on his face was gone, revealing a beautiful childish little face, but those big eyes full of yearning looking out the window would never be opened again.

Chu Zhao's hands trembled slightly, and the small silver bell on his bracelet jingled.

Amid the tinny ringtones, Chu Zhao's tears flowed down.

"When we caught up, Dolma's father had already been hacked to death by the group. Dolma fought with them, fell off the horse, and hit the back of his head on a rock." Aao came to Chu Zhao, very frustrated. He said, "It's all my fault. I should have been faster."

"I don't blame you, it was me who held you back and refused to let you go." General Temu said, "Although he died, I don't regret it. We can't have a head-on conflict with the king yet."

"Stop talking about this now, let the military doctor come and look at brother Zhuoma's injuries first!" Chu Zhao said, squatting down, pinching Zhuoma's mother with one hand, and then asked the hammer to help slap her face. , wake her up.

Zhuoma's mother woke up leisurely, hugging the bodies of her husband and daughter and bursting into tears.

"We agreed to move away when spring comes, but before spring comes, you just leave me like this..." She beat her chest and cried.

Chu Zhao didn't know how to comfort her. Now, the only comfort for her might be that there was still a child alive.

Chu Zhao considered himself not a particularly emotional person, but that night, because of the little girl named Zhuoma, he never closed his eyes again.

Early the next morning, the team got ready and set off. Everyone's spirits were very low, and they no longer had the excitement of yesterday.

Out of guilt, General Temu asked people to help bury Dolma and her father, and left some money and medicine for Dolma's mother and brother.

"This is the limit of what I can do for them." He seemed to be talking to himself or explaining to Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao ignored him and got into the carriage with a cold expression.

General Timu glanced at Ah Ao awkwardly, and Ah Ao ignored him and got on his horse.

At nearly noon, the team finally entered Beidi Royal City.

General Temu's home is in the south of the city, and you must pass there to go to the palace.

He hadn't seen his family for a long time, so he temporarily decided to go home for a visit.

Although this was unreasonable, he brought back only his confidants, and no one would inform the king.

The royal city is very lively. Spring is coming soon. People are purchasing supplies for grazing and preparing to go out to graze when the weather gets warmer.

The houses of residents in the city are also built in the shape of yurts, with round spires decorated with local patterns.

General Tiemu's house occupies a large area. He also followed the habits of the Han people and built a high courtyard wall, with servants guarding the door.

The servants were surprised to see General Timur returning and hurriedly led the people inside. Another servant quickly ran to report the news.

After a while, General Temu's parents came out. As soon as his mother saw him, she took his hand and cried loudly: "My son, you are back. They took your sister away and wanted to sacrifice it to the army." The king is your concubine, please think of a way to save your sister!"

The smile on General Temu's face froze instantly, as if he was struck by five thunders.

"How could this happen? My sister is only 13 years old..."

13 years old?

Listening to his trembling words, Chu Zhao just wanted to sneer.

This time she wanted to see if he would save her or not?
