Ashes

Ji Erhalang rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, then slapped his head: "This is the third cup, I wish my brother to make further progress as soon as possible."

Huang Taiji's face darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, Heshuo Baylor is already a thousand honors, how can we go further."

"Brother, don't you really want to? Among the brothers, who is better than you?"

"Among the four major Baylors, apart from your elder brother Amin Baylor, Brother Daishan and Brother Mangurtai are both older than me, and have more senior qualifications than me, especially Brother Daishan, who is good at fighting and decisive. , I am even far behind, who will get me? Ever since Brother Chuying was executed, Father Khan has identified Brother Daishan in his heart, although it has not been made public, but everyone knows it well."

After all, Jierhalang was young, so he didn't take it seriously, and whispered: "It's okay to fight on Daishan Baylor, but when it comes to other things, then..."

"Stop talking." Huang Taiji interrupted him.

Ji Erhalang was not very happy, because in his heart, no one could compete with Huang Taiji.

He clearly remembered that five years ago, his Ama died of illness in prison, because he died under confinement for a crime. He didn't dare to show his sadness in front of everyone, so he could only hide in a corner and secretly grieve. No one else came to comfort him, only Huang Taiji came to talk to him and patiently enlightened him, which made him gradually walk out of the shadows.

Huang Taiji patted his hands, alleviating the embarrassing atmosphere: "Okay, don't be upset, don't forget that you came to congratulate me, why come here to get angry with me."

Jierhalang turned to smile: "I won't say anymore, today is a good day, let's talk about something happy. Come on, drink first." He filled the wine glass again and handed it to Huang Taiji respectfully, " In short, whatever you say is what you say, and I, Jierhalang, will listen to you."

Huang Taiji raised his wine glass, touched his wine glass lightly: "Good brother."

Jierhalang's brows stretched out, his smile was like warm spring water, clear and warm.

"That's right." Huang Taiji said, "Last time I asked you to check the forest we discovered last year. How did it go?"

Jierhalang waved his hands and said, "I was about to tell you about this. Just as you guessed, brother, the phenomenon is not accidental. It will appear every year during those months."

Huang Taiji nodded thoughtfully.

"It's really interesting, isn't it, brother?"

"You go and arrange it, and just follow our original plan."

"Okay, wrap it on me."

This was Nurhachi's first hunt after he sealed the Khan. In order to make the Khan happy, almost everyone was dispatched, and the team was mighty and mighty, stretching for several miles.

If it was explained that Ting's army was trained on the school field, then for the Jurchens, hunting was one of their trainings.

They take Niulu as the unit, and they walk all the way and stop at one place. The establishment of the Eight Banners Army was developed from this.

This time they were hunting in the Eighteen Ridges, and the ministers of Baylor brought their own people to besiege and kill them bravely, showing their best performance.

Originally, the weather was good, but they didn't expect it to rain lightly after walking for a while.

The troops of the brigade hurriedly found a place to camp to shelter from the rain, and each of them was well-trained and methodical.

Huang Taiji's people camped on a hillside, and the camp of Great Khan Nurhachi was not far away.He stood at the door and looked around, and saw Dodo holding Dorgon's hand and running out of Da Khan's tent, jumping and jumping in the rain, he was very happy, but Dorgon stood helplessly, Dodd danced around him.

Father Khan really loves these three brothers the most, and even takes them with him when he hunts. Other brothers have never had this honor.

Thinking secretly, Huang Taiji paid more attention to Dorgon.I didn't pay much attention to it before, thinking that like Dodo, he is a kid who only knows how to play and play around, but recently I feel that he is a bit special.But if you really want to say what's the difference, you can't tell. He obviously has a fat face, and he smiles innocently and cutely, but he can feel a slight difference. There is a sense of pride and coldness, not at all like a five-year-old child should have.

But no matter what, a child is still a child, and Huang Taiji would rather believe that he was being overwhelmed.

The rain stopped shortly after, and the army packed up their things and prepared to move on.

Jierhalang approached quietly, Huang Taiji confirmed with his eyes, and the latter nodded.

So Huang Taiji rode his horse and walked towards Nurhachi: "Father Khan, do you still remember the white deer we saw on Zhaka Road a few years ago?"

"I remembered when you said that." Nurhachi's spirits, which had been a little down because of the rain, suddenly rose again. "That is really auspicious, and bless our department with prosperity."

"Father Khan is the Great Khan of Destiny, so he is naturally favored by God. Why don't we go to Zhaka Road and look for traces of the fairy deer."

"Okay! Then go to Zhaka Road!" Nurhachi gave an order, and the army marched.

The white deer is not so easy to meet, but for Huang Taiji, whether he can meet the white deer is not that important.

After turning a mountain depression, there is a large forest in front of it.

Perhaps it was because of the rain that the woods looked extraordinarily lush, and every leaf was green and translucent like emerald glass, swaying gently in the breeze, attracting people's attention.

Nurhachi's valet A Dun pointed to the forest and said, "Khan, look, those trees are really beautiful."

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Nurhachi galloped forward and ran into the forest.

From a distance, it is still lush and green, but it is even more green and attractive when viewed up close. Such a beautiful scenery makes Nurhachi overjoyed.A drop of crystal dew bounced on the leaves a few times, rolled onto his face, and scratched the corner of his mouth. He stuck out his tongue and licked it, with a startled expression.

"Come all of you." Nurhachi greeted everyone, "Come and taste, the rain on this tree is sweet."

All the ministers came forward to taste it one after another, and they were all very surprised, and they were full of praise.

"Khan, it's raining honey from the sky, this is the image of Furui!"

"Congratulations to the Great Khan, where the destiny belongs, what the heavens want!"

"It's such an auspicious sign that my great gold will extend the country for generations to come."

The atmosphere of joy gradually spread, and everyone was full of praise.

Huang Taiji also followed up and said: "First there was a white deer to show auspiciousness, and then there was a honey rain. I, Dajin, established the Yuan and founded the country at this time. It is really in accordance with the weather. Congratulations, Father Khan."

Nurhachi was ecstatic, he laughed, patted Huang Taiji on the shoulder, and said hello three times.

Dorgon raised his neck and looked at it for a while. He avoided the crowd and rode his horse around a tree several times.

How could this rain be sweet?

Dorgon didn't believe it, he dipped his fingertips in the rainwater on the leaves and put them in his mouth, it was really as sweet as honey.He changed another tree and tasted it, and it was also sweet.

If it is said that in order to please Father Khan deliberately, he sent someone to smear honey juice on the leaves, then one or two trees are easy to handle, but how did this whole forest do it?

Dorgon sucked his fingers like an ordinary child with a sweet tooth, but his eyes stayed on Huang Taiji.

What a caring person.Dorgon smiled coldly.Among the other three of the Big Four Baylors, who can use their minds as cleverly as he does without leaving a trace?

interesting!Dorgon couldn't help but want to applaud him.The stronger the opponent, the more interesting this battle is, isn't it?

Hunting is something Dorgon is all too familiar with.

But suddenly turning back into a child, I can't adapt to it in every way.

He disliked that the original bow was too small and too soft, an arrow would fall after flying a dozen steps, and it was so weak that it couldn't kill the prey at all.So I bravely brought a soft bow for adults, tried to draw it, and felt that it was much easier, but when I went to the wild, I found that I couldn't keep up with my physical strength after shooting a few arrows, and I couldn't even open the bow. He is very tall, short in stature, and extremely inconvenient to carry.

Although no one expected him to catch any prey as a young child, Dorgon was a little bored after all.Seeing that everyone was chasing and rounding up a fox, Dorgon slipped away quietly while no one was paying attention.

He was walking aimlessly in the woods alone, the yelling of those people gradually faded away, and his ears became much quieter, only the crisp birdsong echoed in his ears.The sober air after the rain mixed with the scent of green grass was refreshing. Dorgon stretched his waist, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly, as if he wanted to let out all the turbid air in his body.

A slight rustling sound came, and Dorgon moved his ears, looking for the direction of the sound.A gray-white thing flashed under the bushes, Dorgon's sharp eyes immediately realized that it was a rabbit.

Pushing aside the branches in front of him, Dorgon took a few steps closer on tiptoe, slowly drew out an arrow, carefully set it on the bow, held his breath, and stretched his bow vigorously, like a skilled and experienced hunter .

The gray rabbit squatted under the tree, unaware of external threats, it leisurely chewed the grass, its cheeks agitated.

With a muffled bang, the arrow left the string, flashed across the eyes, and shot at the rabbit.

After all, due to lack of arm strength, the arrow missed by an inch the moment it flew out, and shot behind the rabbit.The rabbit was frightened, and jumped and dived into the woods, disappearing.

Dorgon lowered his hands in frustration. This small body was like a prison, imprisoning his ambitious soul. Now that he couldn't even shoot a rabbit to death, how could he fight against that person?He is already so far ahead, how can we catch up with him?

I am very unwilling.

"A person sneaked out of the brigade and ran out. If Father Khan finds out, he will scold you." A gentle voice suddenly came from behind.

Dorgon was surprised, when did he come?I didn't notice it at all—just like that unguarded gray rabbit.

Turning back in astonishment, the visitor was dressed in soft armor, extraordinary in martial arts, like a god descending into the world, smiling slightly, with an extraordinary bearing.

Perhaps because of facing the sun, Dorgon was dazzled for a while, and lost his mind for a while.
