Ashes

Huang Taiji shook his head, and swallowed what he wanted to say.

Jierhalang didn't force it, knowing that he was thoughtful, and it was inconvenient to express many things clearly: "Brother, if you have difficulties, don't worry too much. If I can do my best, that's good."

"I really can't explain this matter, well, I don't want to. I'm really hungry after eating some pasta."

"I'm going to invite Da Fujin." As soon as Jierharang opened the door, he saw Zhezhe walking towards here with some refreshing side dishes: "Da Fujin is really kind and considerate."

"Master Baylor is willing to eat?" Zhezhe saw Jierhalang's relaxed expression, and he knew it made sense.

"Thank you for your hard work." Huang Taiji smiled gently.

"It's hard work or not, what did Lord Belle say, eat quickly." Zhezhe took out all the food and wine and put them on the table, "Yue Tuotaiji and Sahalian are also here, do you want to see Lord Belle? Or should we invite them after the meal is finished?"

"Those two people are also very worried." Ji Erhalang interjected.

Yuetuo and Sahalian are the eldest and third sons of Dabeile Daishan. They are 13 years old respectively. Although they are still young, they are both capable of writing and martial arts. They are outstanding and outstanding among the third generation of Nurhachi.Huang Taiji is intelligent and kind, and has insight when he encounters problems. These children and nephews love to listen to him.

"They're all my family members, let them in, don't be left out in the cold." Huang Taiji said.

"Okay, then I'll invite them." Zhe Zhe replied.

Dorgon tossed and turned on the bed, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would see Huang Taiji kneeling before the bed with his head bowed, especially his last look, which was shocking.

There are so many troubles, I originally wanted to pay the price of self-injury, but I didn't expect to accidentally hurt the innocent Doduo. If I really lost my eyes, it would be too late to regret.

It was too careless!

Shouldn't he have noticed something?Dorgon thought suddenly.His Huang Taiji is so shrewd, and his hands and feet in this matter are not clean, he began to regret that he handled this matter too rough, will it arouse his vigilance, and alienate himself from now on?

The fact that Falcon hurt someone can't touch his roots, so don't turn against him at this time.

Then go to Huang Taiji for a trip.

Thinking of this, Dorgon suddenly sat up from the bed, but as soon as his feet hit the ground, the pain hit his bone marrow, and he broke out in a cold sweat immediately.But he didn't care about that much anymore, and limped out of the house.

When Dorgon arrived at Huang Taiji, he was received by Dundari, Huang Taiji's attendant.

Dundari respectfully invited Dorgon to sit down in the hall, and ordered the maid to serve a cup of tea: "Little elder brother sit down first, the master is talking to the elder brothers who came first, let the slave go and inform first."

"Who else is coming?"

"Jirhalang, Yuetuo, and Sahalian are all here. The master is very popular. Whenever something happens, the other masters are anxious for him."

I didn't expect his place to be so lively. Once something happened to him, so many people came to see him, which shows how powerful he is.As soon as he heard that so many people had come, Dorgon became annoyed in his heart, and thought of leaving wearily: "Then I will come to see myna some other day."

But as soon as he got up, he saw Zhe Zhe coming out of it.

"Fourteenth brother, are you here to see Lord Baylor?" Zhezhe said enthusiastically.

After getting along with each other during this period, Dorgon has already gotten to know Zhe Zhe well. He likes this good-tempered Da Fujin very much, and Zhe Zhe treats him like a real sister, caring for him.

"Myna seems to have guests, so I'll go first." Dorgon lowered his head, ready to leave.

"Then how can I do that?" Zhe Zhe stopped him and said, "If Master Belle knew that the fourteenth brother came and left without saying a word, he would definitely blame me. You sit first, Dundari will take good care of you, and I will tell you Lord Belle."

Dorgon had no choice but to sit down, holding tea and drinking it restlessly.

After sitting for a while, it was Zhe Zhe himself who led him in again.

"Come in, Lord Belle is waiting for you." Zhe Zhe smiled softly.

"Thank you Dafujin." Dorgon nodded, raised his index finger, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked lightly on the door, "Mynah, it's me."

"Come in."

Dorgon exhaled, pushed the door open and entered.

The room was quiet, except for Huang Taiji, who was leaning on the kang table, staring intently at Dorgon who entered the room.

Dorgon looked around for a while, and said unexpectedly: "Didn't you say there are other guests? Why are they gone?"

"They have been here for quite a while, so I sent them away first." Huang Taiji beckoned, "Come and sit down."

Dorgon took a long time to sit down in front of him, thinking about how to speak, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"Jierhalang brought some pastry, it tastes good, you should eat some too." Huang Taiji pointed to the paper bag on the table.

Dorgon ate a few mouthfuls, and said vaguely: "I'm sorry, starling, I didn't raise that eagle well, and instead caused you to be scolded by Father Khan."

"It's okay, did Duoduo's injury scare you?" Huang Taiji said lightly, "You and Duduo are so good, are you feeling sad?"

"It's because I didn't protect my brother well, it's none of myna's business."

Huang Taiji smiled: "Come ride a horse with me."

Dorgon said in surprise: "It's so late, and you still want to ride a horse?" He glanced out the dark window as he spoke.

"Come back after a stroll, let's go." Huang Taiji walked to the door first.

Dorgon had no choice but to obey, and followed behind Huang Taiji, but in order to cover up his foot injury, he walked very slowly.

"What's wrong with your feet?" Huang Taiji was keenly aware of his strangeness.

Dorgon hesitated at first, but later, seeing that he couldn't hide it, he said that he had sprained his ankle.

Huang Taiji frowned, as if he felt distressed, and stepped forward to hug him.But Dorgon took a big step back in fright, pulled the wound, and blushed from the pain.

"Why don't you let me hug you?" Huang Taiji always felt strange, he thought that children of this age still like being hugged.

Dorgon was so embarrassed, he couldn't say that he was already in his teens anyway, it would be embarrassing for him to be hugged and walked around. "I... I am an adult, I can go by myself."

Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, and then he burst out laughing, and Dorgon was even more ashamed and embarrassed when he laughed. "Very well, then, I'll have the horse led out into the yard."

It was getting late, and for this fishing and hunting people who worked from sunrise to sunset, except for some wealthy nobles who were still lighting their lamps, most of the people had already fallen asleep.

In the past, when Huang Taiji and Dorgon rode horses, Huang Taiji rode a big horse, and Dorgon rode a pony, but tonight, Dorgon's foot hurt so much that he couldn't even step on the stirrup, so Huang Taiji hugged him directly. Even if Dorgon didn't want to lose his own horse, there was nothing he could do.

The stars are falling and the moon is surging, Hetuala is quietly and beautifully like a pure girl, sleeping peacefully in this quiet night.

"Hold on to me." Huang Taiji bowed his head and said to Dorgon in his arms.

Dorgon sat sideways on the horse's back, knowing that he was about to run, and wrapped his arms around his waist so as not to be shaken off the horse in a while.

Huang Taiji pressed his shoulder with one hand, hugging him even tighter, with the other hand twitched the reins, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and galloped the horse.

As soon as he ran, he ran straight out of the city. His horse was a steed, and it was running at lightning speed. The night wind was so hard that Dorgon couldn't even open his eyes, so he buried his face. deeper.You can almost hear his heart beating, contracting with each leap of the horse, strong and powerful.

The two of them ran until they reached the stream outside the city before stopping.

Dorgon was wondering what he was going to do, Huang Taiji had already dismounted, turned around and carried himself off the horse, placed him on a stream stone, took out another handkerchief and wet it by the stream, then squatted down in front of him.

Knowing his actions, Dorgon just wanted to retract his feet when he caught him and took off his shoes and socks several times.Seeing Dorgon's swollen ankle as big as the mouth of a bowl, Huang Taiji raised his eyebrows: "It's so swollen, I must see a doctor tomorrow."

Maybe it was because of being soaked in water, his fingers were cool, and when they touched his feet, the slightly cool touch went from the ankle to the brain along every nerve of the skin.

Dorgon was confused and didn't say a word.

"Did you hear that?" Huang Taiji raised his head, his tone became severe, and he poked the swollen part with his finger.

"Ah! It hurts!" Dorgon cried.

"It's fine if you know it hurts, I'll let you act blindly, and call the doctor when you go back."

"Understood." Dorgon pouted.

Huang Taiji smiled in satisfaction, and put the soaked veil on his feet.The stream water was cold, and when he applied it to the bruise, Dorgon immediately felt less pain, and his expression became much more relaxed.

In the quiet night, Huang Taiji's voice also became softer: "I was just like you when I was young. I kept a small injury from others, for fear that it would reach my father's ears. If he didn't take me to the battlefield, he would miss it." The opportunity to make meritorious service has to be dealt with secretly, even if it hurts, you can only endure it."

No wonder the skill at bandaging the wound is first-class, Dorgon thought to himself.

"But it's not good, it's easy to turn a small injury into a big injury, if the root cause of the disease is left, it won't be good, you must not follow me." Huang Taiji said lightly, "I'll change some water and apply it to you. "

Dorgon looked at his swollen feet, and then at Huang Taiji who was walking towards the creek.

Among the many brothers, Huang Taiji's birth is not considered high.When his mother-in-law Yehenara Menggu's sister first married, Nurhachi loved this gentle and beautiful woman very much, but a few years later, Abahai came.Compared with sister Meng Gu, Abahai is also young and beautiful, but he is more thoughtful and more able to please Nurhachi.So after the death of his second concubine Gundai, Nurhachi made Abahai a concubine.

Nurhachi has many wives and concubines, no one can control who he likes and who he loves.

When Huang Taiji was 12 years old, his sister Meng Gu passed away due to illness and was buried in Niyaman hill outside the city, not far from here.

After washing the veil to cool down again, he applied it on his feet again. After repeated several times, although the swelling did not subside, Dorgon felt much more comfortable.

Huang Taiji picked up his shoes and socks and wanted to help him put them on, but he snatched them away: "I will do it myself."

Huang Taiji sat beside him, staring ahead.The moonlight is bright and clear, shining on the water surface, sparkling, as if sprinkled with silver foil.The secluded woods are swaying in the breeze, the leaves are rustling, everything is so beautiful.

The little Dorgon sat beside him, and the moonlight slanted to elongate the figures of the two, one big and one small.

Dorgon turned his head to look at Huang Taiji, and always felt that he looked better under the moon than during the day, and the soft curve of his face was more elegant and handsome under the silver-white moonlight.

"Look at what?" Huang Taiji felt his gaze, lowered his head and smiled.
