Li Xiao's words made Makata stunned and his crying stopped.

No way?

It turned out that this scheming guy had known his background for a long time, but he just pretended not to know it.

How did he know?

Before Makata could reply, Li Xiao's voice came coldly again: "You must want to know how I saw it. OK, I will tell you now. That day, the governor Xu Xiu reported to me that he had found you who was already unconscious on the hillside and rescued you from the wolf's mouth in time. I was deeply suspicious of your identity at that time."

Li Xiao paused, and saw that Makata had put his hands on his face, and continued, "You said, you are an ordinary woman who escaped from the Qing Dynasty. This is extremely false. The Qing Lu Pass was extremely strict, so how could you let a lonely woman escape alone? And you said that you were then taken away by the Mongols, but you escaped at night, which is even more nonsense. The Mongols are mostly masters of riding and shooting. Isn't it easy to chase a woman who is not good at riding like you? How could you let a weak woman who has fallen into your hands have the chance to escape easily? Therefore, after hearing these words by me, I knew that what you said was a lie."

Makata sighed lightly and said nothing.

Her eyes seemed to look at a distant place, empty and confused.

Li Xiao's words continued: "At that time, I received news that the Qing Dynasty princess Makata and the former leader of the Han Dynasty, Ezhe, had already led their personal cavalry to escape. Therefore, I suspected that you were the Makata, and your lover Ezhe and a group of personal cavalry were likely to be killed by the pursuers of the Qing Dynasty, and you were the only one left to escape in the chaos. But you were lucky. When your mount was injured and encountered a wolf pack, you could meet our cavalry to rescue him."

"Then, since you already knew my identity, why didn't you point it out immediately? You still pretended to be deaf and dumb until now. What are you feeling for?!" Makata still looked hatred and shouted in a low voice.

After Makata finished speaking resentfully, he didn't expect that Li Xiao would have a faint smile on his face.

"Sign up? If I pointed out at that time, I pointed out that you were the escaped princess of the Qing Dynasty, it would only make your future more dangerous and unpredictable. After all, it would be too easy for a lonely and helpless woman like you, whether you are the one or others, it would be too easy to kill you. Therefore, I made a secret decision at that time that I would not kill you, but to save your life and give you a poor woman who is difficult to return to and find a reliable place to live. Although you can't let you be as arrogant as when you were a princess, you can still live a peaceful and stable life."

Li Xiao sighed without realizing it.

"Hmph, I'm so hypocritical when I come here! If you really have such kindness, how could you urge my father to destroy my engagement with Ezhe and remarry your Ming emperor far away in the capital! If it weren't for the bullshit agreement you signed with my father, how could I be forced to escape from my private life and let Ezhe die in the grassland, and be lonely. Li Xiao, you bastard, you ruined my life's happiness, making me in such a state where no one is human, no ghost, no ghost, I hate you! If I don't kill you, it's not enough to calm my anger!"

Makata finished speaking loudly, covering his face and cried again.

After hearing this hatred statement in Makata City, Li Xiao sighed unconsciously.

He admitted that when he instructed Chen Zilong to sign this agreement with the Qing court, he was most careless about the personal feelings of the Qing princess Makata. After all, in this feudal era when patriarchal power was greater than the sky, women's dignity and pursuit of love were often the most neglected and abandoned.

In this era, it can be said that 99% of women will choose to accept themselves in such a situation and regard themselves as pure political appendages. Perhaps only one% of women will choose to rise up and strive to seek the happiness they want.

Obviously, Makata belongs to the latter type, and it is extremely rare in this patriarchal era who wants to find love.

In this way, in order to pursue his own happiness and to avenge his dead lover, this woman can assassinate herself in such a situation of death together, which is a touching story that can be written into a legend.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao sighed and said slowly: "Maketa, how do you know the depth of this politics, you are a princess in the Qing Dynasty? If you say this, you are wrongly blamed by Uncle Ben."

"You are wrong? What's wrong? Could it be that Chen Zilong said in person that the proposal and suggestions he made were the ideas of your Chifeng Bo Li Xiao. Li Xiao, Li Xiao, are you going to rebel and deny it?" Makata sneered.

"You are right. The strategy of peace between the Ming and Qing dynasties was indeed Ben Bo's suggestion, but Ben Bo can tell you that Ben Bo's construction proposal was for my Emperor Ming to marry Huang Taiji's legitimate daughter to marry the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, he did not force Huang Taiji to make you ruin the engagement and marry him again to Emperor Chongzhen of Ming. Therefore, your words are far-fetched."

Before Makata could reply, Li Xiao said again: "It's just that your father Huang Taiji. Considering that you are the closest to your age, you should be the most suitable choice for a relative, so you ruin the engagement and wait for a marriage. Therefore, if you want to blame, you can only blame your greedy and snobbish father Huang Taiji!"

Makata looked sad and tears gradually filled his eyes.

"Of course, I didn't expect that after the peace talks were concluded, there were so many changes, but it was enough to make people sigh. This luck is so rare that I can say it in one word! Well, I'll say it in this way." Li Xiao sighed again.

"Then why don't you kill me now?" Makata's voice was very low.

"Because killing a lonely and helpless woman like you is unnecessary and has no value. Makata, this matter has not happened and I have just revealed it. You are also a smart person. After listening to my heart-disclosing words today, I must know where I will go. In a word, if you are willing to continue to stay in my Li's mansion, I, Li Xiao, still welcome me. If you have a better place to go, Li will not force me to stay."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he didn't say anything more. He quickly put on his clothes and pushed the door open and left.

The only one left Makata was sitting in the room. After a long time, she covered her face and started crying again.

However, after Ingma returned from Zhuonakhi, Makata had packed up the room and left. After returning to her room, she tossed and turned in the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Can you really leave this Li Mansion?

I was afraid that a weak woman who had no relatives in the Ming Dynasty would go to the chaotic place outside, and I was afraid that she would be very far from death.

Thinking of this, a sad feeling in Makata's heart came up, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

In the next few days, Makata, who was extremely nervous, was extremely cautious in the Li Mansion, whether doing things or speaking. However, whenever she looked at Li Xiao guiltily, she found that Li Xiao's expression was calm, as if she had planned to stab him, and it was not happening at all.

It seems that Li Xiao is really a broad-minded person.

Makata rose again and thought that when he saw Li Xiao's naked body and his coat that had been torn off by him that night, he felt a sense of heat on his face.

Before we knew it, the days passed like flowing water.

It was soon early August of the tenth year of Chongzhen.

At this time, Xu Xiu, the chief manager of Xilin City, who built the Luohai area of ​​Abahanar Uletuo in Mongolia, had just commanded a large number of civilians and craftsmen to plan the location of Xilin City, set the positioning of the inner and outer cities, and dug up the base of the city to fill in bluestone.

Then, when Xu Xiuzheng commanded the craftsmen and civilians to start building soil and walls, at dusk, he suddenly saw the flying cavalrymen from the far-senting cavalry galloping back quickly.

The whistle cavalry rushed to the front of the general manager Xu Xiu and the Xilin garrison Liu Wenxiu, immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and made a quick reply.

"Report to General Manager Xu, General Manager Liu, our army had just been on the east border and was probing a large number of Qing soldiers and horses, as if they were coming towards our Xilin City!" The whistle cavalry gasped and reported loudly to Xu Xiu and Liu Wenxiu.

Xu Xiu was shocked: "No, why did our army choose a place to build a city? In less than a month, why did the Qing court make a move so quickly?"

"I don't know this..." The whistle driver replied.

In fact, this sentence was spoken by Xu Xiu. After all, only Emperor Chongde of the Qing court, Huang Taiji, could answer this question.

Originally, after Li Xiao's army destroyed the Abahanar tribe that day, only a few days later, the remaining four Neikhalka tribes found out the news.

Although these tribes felt secretly grateful for the demise of the weak but rampant Abahanal tribe, they were more likely to feel that rabbits died and foxes were sad about their kindness.

Later, when they saw that a large number of Han people came to this old place of Abahanar to build a city and open up the wilderness, they felt even more shocked.

The Khan Kings of the four major tribes, Nuoyan and Jinnong, immediately gathered to discuss, and soon everyone reached a consensus. That is, when a group of grassland tribes were unable to resist Li Xiao's continuous invasion of the grassland, they must take the opportunity to swallow the Abahanar tribe's actions and report to the Qingting immediately, in order to curb Li Xiao's ambitions through the Qing Dynasty's troops.

The four inner Khalkha Mongolian tribes immediately collaborated to report to Ying'erdai, the Minister of Political Affairs of the Qing Dynasty who was in charge of Mongolian affairs in the Arukorchin tribe.

After hearing the news, Ying'erdai was shocked. He felt that the matter was serious and quickly reported the news to Huang Taiji truthfully.

"Ah? What you said is the truth."

"Reported to the emperor, what the slaves said is true. The four Mongolian tribes of Neikhalka jointly reported that Li Xiao was good at showing off his military power and destroyed the Abahanal tribe. He even wanted to build a new city and develop land in this Uletuo Luohai area. It was really rampant. Li Xiao's ambition to gradually annex the Mongolian tribes is obvious."

After listening to Ying'erdai's report, Huang Taiji on the dragon throne frowned deeply with a serious face.

Since receiving the news that day, Jirgalang reported that the former leader of the Han tribe, Ezhe and Princess Makata, had both died in the deep ditch on the border of the Naiman tribe. Huang Taiji sat on the dragon throne and burst into tears without realizing it.

Although he had been angry that day and issued an order to kill him immediately if the two of them resisted arrest, after he really received the news of Makata's death, Huang Taiji, a ruthless guy with a ruthless heart, was also in his heart and heart, and was sad and sad.

A ruthless person may not be a true hero.

Over the past period of time, he has been lazy in food and his mind is dull. Compared with his previous heroic self, he has become much haggard. He often walks alone into the empty Makata boudoir, and his heart becomes more and more sad.

However, after hearing Ying'erdai's report, Huang Taiji immediately understood that the situation in Mongolia had developed to an extremely serious extent.

This abominable Li Xiao wanted to occupy the Abahanal tribe, which was located in the key transportation area, and cut off the connection between the Qing Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes, but his heart was really devastated!

If Li Xiao had completely gained a foothold in this area, the exchanges and contacts between the Qing court and Mongolia would be greatly affected. Even places like Mongolia in the western region and Mongolia in the desert and northern region would be interrupted. Those Mongolian tribes that were originally rebellious and disobedient may no longer accept the tribute, and even turn to the Ming Dynasty and completely move towards the opposite side of the Qing Dynasty.

This is something that Huang Taiji, who is determined to unify the world, cannot tolerate.

"How much has Li Xiao's new city been built now?" Huang Taiji asked coldly.

"Report to the emperor, according to the reports of the Mongols, Li Xiao's new city has just found the right boundary and has just begun to be built."

A sneer suddenly flashed across Huang Taiji's big cake's face.

"Hmph, then Li Xiao thought he was able to show his skills on the grassland, but I wanted to hit the snake and hit him off guard!" Huang Taiji said coldly, and then ordered: "Prince Yu Duoduo, with you, lead 20,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han troops to quickly go to the Abahanal tribe and destroy Li Xiao's army!"

"Well, the servant follows the order."

Liu Wenxiu also frowned, and the 19-year-old young general shouted in a deep voice: "How many people have come to the Qing emperors, but where are they now?"

"Reported to Chief Liu, after observing below, the Qing army had about 20,000 troops, all infantry and cavalry. At first glance, the people were vast and the sky was over. It was only 200 miles away from our Xilin City. "The whistle cavalry said with a worried look on his face, and then added a hurried sentence: "By the way, Chief Liu, there are more than 300 light cavalry in the Qing army, and they are led to the front. The whistle cavalry is open to the road, but it is only 20 miles away from here."

After hearing the report of the whistleblower, Xu Xiu and Liu Wenxiu both took a breath.

The Qing army was so powerful and so anxious, but Xilin City had just captured the foundation and had no time to build it.
