Ashes

Huang Taiji knew about Duduo's accident just after he had an accident, and he planned to send someone to inquire about the situation and whether the injury was serious, but he didn't expect that the people from Da Khan came first and had to rush there immediately.

As soon as he entered the room, the atmosphere in the room made him realize that something was wrong.

The shelf where the Falcon should have been locked was empty, only a pool of blood, and the chain was broken, leaving only half of it.

He glanced solemnly at Duduo who was sitting on the bed, and Nurhachi, Abahai, Azig, Dorgon and others who surrounded him. Just as he was about to ask, Nurhachi shouted: "Kneel down! "

Huang Taiji was stunned, but Tianminghan's anger couldn't give him too much time to think. Under the eyes of everyone, he knelt down and knelt down in front of everyone.

It seemed that because of his kneeling, the room became instantly quiet, and even Abahai's sobbing sound became quieter. The waiters did not dare to look directly at him, and glanced at Huang Taiji kneeling in the center out of the corner of their eyes.

On the surface, Dorgon was calm as usual, and looked at Doduo worriedly, but in his heart he was secretly delighted by the scolding of the Great Khan to Huang Taiji.

"How many times have I told you to take good care of your younger brothers, especially when Duduo is still so young!" Nurhachi scolded, "You still send such dangerous things here, what are you so worried about?"

Dorgon glanced secretly, and saw Huang Taiji lowered his head, couldn't see his expression clearly, and said in a flat tone: "I was wrong, I didn't think carefully, I shouldn't send this kind of wild eagle that is difficult to tame."

"Duo Duo was injured so badly, how can you, a brother, have the heart! If Dorgon hadn't tried his best to protect him, God knows what would have happened!"

"I also feel guilty for hurting Doduo, and I won't do it in the future."

"In the future? I have warned you more than once! Have you listened? Did you not take me seriously!" Nurhachi was furious, and he raised his palm and slapped the edge of the bed, shaking even Duduo on the bed. , groaned in pain, Abahai comforted him in panic.

Unexpectedly, he spoke so emphatically, Huang Taiji was startled, bent down, and lay beside Nurha's bare feet: "My son never meant to ignore Father Khan, it was my negligence that failed to protect my younger brother, please Father Khan Forgive me."

Looking at Huang Taiji lying at his feet, looking at the furious Nurhachi, Dorgon's goal has been achieved.

There is no memory of Nurhachi being angry with Huang Taiji in his mind, and this is probably the first time this time.

He should have held his head high and stood proudly, but at this moment when everyone was standing, he was kneeling, kneeling in front of his father Khan, kneeling in front of his younger brothers.The attendants, maids, and slaves who were onlookers, their gazes were like poisonous snakes' wings, sweeping over him wantonly, and they could faintly hear whispers behind his back.

From the beginning to the end, he couldn't raise his head, unable to see whether his expression was sad or angry, Dorgon looked at Huang Taiji on the ground, and finally he could look down at him - in such a way.

A smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth, at this time it was time to do something to show that he was a well-behaved brother.

Dorgon took a step forward and knelt beside Huang Taiji: "Father Khan, it's my fault, it's because I didn't take good care of that beast, stop scolding starling."

Huang Taiji turned his gaze around, a little surprised.

"This has nothing to do with you!" Nurhachi shouted.

"I didn't take care of it."

"Okay! Don't say any more! Doduo is injured now, you all have to be careful in the future!"

Everyone stopped talking and bowed their heads to listen to his teaching.

"Get out!" Nurhachi roared in a low voice.

Huang Taiji lay still on the ground: "I beg Father Khan to let me take the falcon and the falcon trainer back for punishment, so that I can pray to heaven for Doduo's speedy recovery."

"I've already killed you, so you don't have to worry about it! Get out soon! Reflect on yourself!" Nurhachi said impatiently.

Huang Taiji took a deep breath and stood up slowly.

Dorgon glanced secretly, only took one look, and didn't dare to take a second look. What he saw was a dismal face, without the usual high spirits.

Huang Taiji looked at Nurhachi, but Nurhachi had already turned sideways, looking at Duduo with kind and gentle eyes, as if he wished to lie on the bed for him.Huang Taiji stayed for a moment, then turned and left.

"You all go out too." Nurhachi said to Azig and Dorgon, his most precious young son was injured, which made him extremely sad, and he patted Abahai's back to comfort her.

Dorgon took a step, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ankle. Only then did he realize that his foot was sprained while protecting Duoduo. The scene was too chaotic before and he didn't notice it. Now that he settled down, he stood for a while before he felt the pain. .

But he didn't say a word, trying to maintain a normal walking posture, and walked out slowly.

When he stepped out of the door, he was surprised to find that Huang Taiji did not leave, but stood outside the door.

Huang Taiji saw Dorgon coming out, and before he could react, he went up to him.

"Brother?" Dorgon asked unexpectedly.

Huang Taiji stood still in front of him: "Are you not injured?"

"Uh?"

"I heard people say that Duoduo accidentally broke in and was pecked by the eagle, and you saved him, so you were not scratched by the eagle, right?"

He actually still has the time to care about others, why don't he think more about how to please Father Khan and restore his position in Father Khan's heart?Why are you asking yourself if you're hurt?

Dorgon suddenly had a burst of disgust, and his gaze at Huang Taiji also became fierce.

Huang Taiji felt his mood change: "Are you angry? Is it because of Duoduo's injury?"

"No." Dorgon immediately suppressed his emotions.

Huang Taiji sighed: "I didn't expect it to be so serious, you are still too young, falcons are indeed not something you can play."

"I'm going back." Dorgon whispered.

"Are you really angry? It's okay for Father Khan to blame me. He has to find someone to vent his anger on. You blame me too?"

"I'm worried about my brother."

"He is also my younger brother. That eagle is so fierce, are you really not injured?"

Huang Taiji wanted to go to La Dorgon as he spoke, but Dorgon took a step back.

"I'm fine, starling, don't worry." Dorgon raised his face and put on a smiling face.

Huang Taiji was startled, he was so sharp, although he couldn't be sure, but he could clearly feel the indifference under the smile.

Dorgon knew that he couldn't pretend for too long in front of him, so he was eager to drive him away: "I'm really fine, myna, go back first."

Huang Taiji looked at Dorgon with a gloomy complexion and did not move.

Dorgon was in a hurry. The most important thing was that his feet hurt. When he moved his feet a little, it hurt like stepping on an awl. The pain made his head sweat.

Finally Huang Taiji compromised: "Okay then, I'll go first." He stared at Dorgon for a while, then turned around silently.

As if extremely tired, Dorgon bowed his waist, panting heavily, watching Huang Taiji's back slowly disappear from his sight.

The news of Duoduo's injury spread, and Jierharang immediately came to Huang Taiji as soon as he heard the news.

After the notification, he walked inwards in a familiar way, and Dafu Jin Zhezhe, who was facing Huang Taiji, came towards him.

"Da Fujin." Jierhalang bowed.

Zhe Zhe said anxiously: "It's good if you come, I'm really anxious to death."

"How is he?"

"I locked myself in the house as soon as I came back, and I haven't even eaten food. No matter how unhappy you are, you can't vent your anger on yourself. Go in and persuade him."

"Well, I'll take a look."

Ji Erhalang walked a few steps, but was held back by Zhe Zhe again: "Hey, do you want me to bring in some hot food? I think you, Lord Baylor will always listen to you. At least persuade him to eat a little."

Jierhalang comforted: "Don't worry Dafujin, I'll go in and have a look first."

In fact, Jierhalang was not sure. Huang Taiji's temper looked very easy-going on the surface, but in fact he was very hard-headed. Once he was sure, ten horses would not be able to pull him back.

When he came in, Huang Taiji was leaning on the kang table to doze off, resting his forehead with one hand, the deep wrinkles between his brows were full of sorrow, one couldn't help but want to smooth them out.

Jierharang thought so, and did the same thing. When he came back to his senses, his finger had already touched the brow of Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was startled awake, and suddenly opened his eyes, facing Jierhalang's eyes.

"You're here." Huang Taiji looked tired.

"As soon as I heard that Da Khan punished you, I came here immediately."

"Just punished some cattle and sheep, admonished a few words, nothing."

"It's nothing? It's nothing, you'll keep yourself bored? Da Fujin is dying of anxiety."

"Duo Duo's injury is very dangerous. If he goes half an inch down, he will be blind. No wonder Father Khan is angry. It would be a good thing if Father Khan scolded me a few words to calm down."

Ji Erhalang sat on the opposite side of Huang Taiji worriedly, took out a small bag from his arms, and spread it on the table: "If it's really nothing, just eat something, so that everyone won't worry about you. I brought it for you specially. It’s delicious, try it quickly.”

Seeing Jierhalang's clear smile, Huang Taiji also relaxed, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.

This pastry is made of boiled rice, kneaded into balls first, then dipped in soybean noodles and kneaded into strips, rolled in oil, sprinkled with a layer of cooked soybean noodles, cut into cubes and ready to eat .It looked golden and crispy, but it tasted sweet and glutinous. Ji Erhalang expected that Huang Taiji would be sullen, so he brought a big bag.Many years later, the raw materials and processing technology have been continuously improved, and people call this pastry Sachima.

"You always like to eat so sweet, and you are not afraid of toothache." Huang Taiji said while eating.

"Eating sweets will improve your mood."

"Bullshit."

"Really, you will find out if you eat more."

Jierhalang's pretended serious expression finally made Huang Taiji smile.

Seeing that he was willing to eat, Jierhalang was relieved, he thought for a while and said: "Brother, is this something strange?"

"How to say?"

"Didn't we watch that eagle tame it? Why did it go crazy within a few days after sending it there? How can there be such a coincidence?"

"What do you think?"

In fact, Jierhalang had already had an idea in his mind. He moved closer and said in a low voice: "If I remember correctly, the eagle trainer was given to you by Big Baylor, right?"

Huang Taiji had no expression on his face, and swallowed the pastry unhurriedly: "So you suspect that Brother Daishan wants to harm me?"

"I know I shouldn't make such wild guesses." Ji Erhalang looked ashamed, "But I really can't think of other possibilities."

"It is indeed possible. Don't think about it, it has already happened, we just know it in our hearts. I will make amends after Dodo's injury recovers in a few days. I hope Father Khan can forgive me."

"This is not your business, you have to wrong yourself."

"How can you be wronged over such a trivial matter, that's enough, let's let this matter go." Huang Taiji said lightly, but instead persuaded Jierhalang.

"Are you really not angry anymore?"

Huang Taiji smiled shyly: "Actually, I'm still angry, but..." He paused, and didn't continue.

"Just what?" Jierhalang asked.
