Ashes

As soon as Huang Taiji saw the chaotic scene in the tent, he knew something had happened. Looking at Dorgon again, his face was pale, and blood flowed down his wound to his ankle.

"What's going on?" Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous signal.

Everyone was silent for a while, you look at me and I look at you.

Dorgon panted and said, "I accidentally fell off the bed."

"So careless?" Huang Taiji frowned and glanced at the crowd, beckoning the doctor to treat him quickly.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, the doctor was busy re-bandaging, and Dundari started.

Seeing that Duo Duo was still in a daze, Dorgon pushed him: "Go back first, it's none of your business here."

Duoduo wanted to say something, but he stopped him with his eyes, so he lowered his head, said goodbye to Huang Taiji, and walked out of the tent.

Huang Taiji stared at Duoduo leaving without saying much, watching them busy.Until Dorgon lay down on the bed again, he didn't go to talk to Dorgon first, but went outside the tent and stopped Dundari.

"Dundari."

"The slave is here."

"What happened?"

Dundari suddenly felt dizzy, just as Dorgon had promised over there, Huang Taiji asked here. "Master Baylor, he, he...is a slave who didn't take good care of him, causing Lord Baylor to fall down."

Huang Taiji looked him up and down, showing a displeased expression: "You have only been with him for how long, and you started helping him to deceive me?"

Dundari's legs softened and he fell to his knees: "Khan, I dare not, it's really... Baylor..."

"Is it Dodo?"

Dundari nodded helplessly.

"I just knew, besides Dodo, who else can make him maintain it like this? All right, I'll go and see him."

Huang Taiji walked into the tent again, seeing Dorgon's expressionless face again, he shook his head distressedly.

"If you keep tossing around like this, even if you don't want to, I have to take you to my place and let me watch it myself."

"What did Dundari say?" Dorgon asked angrily.

"He didn't say anything. I guessed it myself. Don't worry. You are quite capable of making him listen to you."

"Don't you blame Dodo?"

"Dodo is always frizzy when doing things. When will he learn more carefully? If I knew it earlier, I should have locked him up longer."

Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Huang Taiji didn't know what happened, maybe he just mistakenly thought that Duoduo hurt him with rough hands and feet when he was taking care of him. "He's worried about me too."

"Worried that you made you like this? When can you stop defending him indiscriminately?"

"Why is it so indiscriminate? I can't tell who treats me sincerely?"

Huang Taiji stretched his face, and was silent for a moment: "Then you mean that I don't treat you sincerely?"

"Did you misinterpret me like this?" Dorgon became impatient, "Where did you come from such a temper, you still don't admit that you are narrow-minded!"

Seeing the unhealthy blush on his sickly face due to anger, Huang Taiji softened his tone: "Okay, I'm narrow-minded, I shouldn't care about a kid like him."

Dorgon ignored him, but his anger obviously subsided.

Huang Taiji stared at it for a long time, then sighed: "You have shown tolerance and understanding towards him that has no bottom line, just give me some of it sometime."

Listening to his jealous words, Dorgon's heart beat faster inexplicably.

Huang Taiji sat down on the edge of the bed, and put his arms around Dorgon's shoulders: "Stop talking, I'm here to tell you that I plan to return to Shenyang tomorrow, and you are not suitable for recuperating outside, so go back early. Let you stay Outside, I can't feel at ease."

Dorgon nodded absently, his mind still on Duoduo.

Back in Shenyang, Dorgon recuperated for a period of time, and the wound was almost healed.

Duo Duo seemed to be a different person, running to Dorgon's house all day long, not doing anything, just staying with him.

Dorgon was limping in the yard, leaning on a cane in his hand.

"Brother, is it still useful?" Duo Duo stepped forward to support him, because Dorgon was able to go to the ground, so Duo Duo specially cut a crutch and sent it to him.

Dorgon squeezed his cane and smiled: "That's right, thank you very much."

"Thank you, shouldn't it be right for me to do something for you?" Duoduo jumped with joy, a slight blush appeared on his wheat-colored face.

Dorgon tried to walk a few more steps, and Dundari came to report that Andari was here.

Andari must have been sent by Huang Taiji, Duoduo immediately sank when he heard that.

Dorgon smiled wryly, "Let him in."

Andari held a long box in his hand, lowered his head, followed Dundari into the yard, and raised the box above his head: "Mergendai Qingbaile, this is sent by the Great Khan."

Dundari took it and opened it in front of Dorgon, and there was a delicate crutch lying quietly on the yellow silk.

Before Dorgon could speak, Duoduo stopped in front, raised his face and said: "My brother already has a cane, go back."

Dorgon smiled even more helplessly, and could only follow his words: "Take it back."

Andari wept bitterly: "How could this be possible? If the Great Khan sees that I haven't done my job well..."

"It's okay." Dorgon said, "Just say I have it, and Da Khan won't embarrass you."

Duduo was happy this time, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, he was not as happy as he was even during Chinese New Year.He helped Dorgon into the house, almost lost his composure: "As long as he has a lot of eyes, if there is anything remarkable, I can do it! Isn't it just a crutch, he is a step too late."

"Okay, you really got cheap and good-looking." Dorgon scolded lightly, "You still think he doesn't like you enough?"

"Why do I want him to look pleasing to the eye? I don't care!"

"If I'm gone someday, let's see if he doesn't kill you."

"He dares!"

"What dare not, who dare not touch him now?"

Duoduo argued for a few words, then became annoyed again: "Anyway, you are helping him."

Although Dorgon said so, he understood that Duoduo liked to confront Huang Taiji because of his temper. Of course, Huang Taiji would be angry, but he would not really do anything to him. Come on, the only people Huang Taiji will deal with are those who provoke his imperial power, and he will tolerate even small troubles in order to maintain his image of benevolence.

It would be a good thing if Doduo could stay by his side with peace of mind in order to please him, so as not to get involved in some real troubles and get caught up in the fire.

They chatted for a while, and Dodo didn't leave until it was getting dark.

As soon as he left on his front foot, Dundari came to send a message on his back foot, saying that Huang Taiji invited him to the Khan Palace.

"Khan knew Duo Duo was gone so quickly?" Dorgon asked in disbelief.

"Is that right? After Andari replied to Da Khan, Da Khan sent someone to send a message, saying that I will invite you to come over as soon as Erkechuhuerbeile leaves the mansion. The carriages are ready at the door. Been waiting for a long time."

"In case Duduo stays late, do you want me to go to the Khan Palace in the middle of the night?"

"That's not true. The Great Khan also said that if it's too late, you should ask Baylor to have a good rest, but the carriage is still waiting outside the door. When Baylor wakes up the next day, I will take you to the Khan Palace."

Huang Taiji has become determined after eating the weight, and Dorgon wants to cry but has no tears.

One by one, none of them was willing to give in. It seems that Duoduo has been entangled with his hatred these days, and Huang Taiji has recorded it again.

The carriage drove into the Khan Palace, and as soon as Dorgon poked his head out, he saw that Huang Taiji was already waiting outside the palace.

He walked over with a smile on his face and held out his hand: "It's been so hard for me to wait."

Dorgon got out of the carriage and walked with his feet high and low.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji asked strangely, "Where is the crutch Duoduo gave you?"

"How dare I bring it? What if you feel bad after reading it and throw it away?"

"Am I such a stingy person?" Huang Taiji said while bending down, "I'll carry you in."

Dorgon was shocked: "How can this work?"

"What does it matter? Didn't I still hug you when you were a child? You are almost taller than me now, so you can't hold me anymore. Carry the head office?"

"What does it mean to be taller than you? I am already taller than you."

"Well then, let's count you as taller than me." Huang Taiji said while pulling him.

"No, that's not what I'm going to say." Dorgon stepped back again and again, annoyed at him for acting recklessly regardless of the occasion, and lowered his voice, "There are so many people watching, don't you pay attention."

Huang Taiji tilted his head and thought for a while, but he had to compromise, and casually pointed to a guard: "You carry fourteen Baylor into the palace."

As soon as Dorgon entered the room, he saw that the table was full of dishes, and he waited for others to come to the table.

"Hungry, eat quickly." The two sat down, and Huang Taiji picked up a chopstick dish for him.

"If I don't come, won't you starve to death?"

"Has Duduo finished?" Huang Taiji directly expressed the resentment in his heart, "Last time it was a stove, this time it was a crutch, next time he is planning to get something ahead of me, did he plant it beside me?" spy?"

The last sentence made Dorgon almost spit out the food he had just stuffed into his mouth: "It's just a coincidence, what are you thinking?"

"Really, I've never seen him care so much about you before."

"I'm his brother!"

Huang Taiji wiped his mouth, and said casually: "A few days ago, the Ministry of Rites reminded me that the Huerha tribe has not paid tribute for two years. It seems that they are dissatisfied with my Dajin. I plan to send some people to conquer it once."

The Huerha tribe is located in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River. Their soldiers and horses are not strong. The purpose of conquering them is to stabilize the territory. Generally speaking, it is relatively easy.Dorgon thought he was just saying this casually, and without thinking too much, he echoed a few times.

"I thought about it. Doduo can also try to lead the army alone, so this time I will give him a hard time."

It turns out that Huang Taiji had this idea!Dorgon choked on his throat again: "Ahem, you are avenging yourself!"

Huang Taiji was not ashamed and serious: "What kind of public revenge, I am giving him a chance to make meritorious service. You go and tell him to let him clean up and leave quickly."

Helpless, there is no reason to refuse this request at all.Dorgon can imagine how upset Dodo will be.

Huang Taiji laughed heartily: Duoduo?Want to toss with me, still tender!
