Chapter 17 The Great King Yegu
On a charred land, burned tents, broken pottery pieces, and charred corpses formed a shocking scene of the disaster. This is the Mandu Latu tribe after being swept by the horse bandits, and it is also the sixth son of Hesar, and the fief of the sixth brother of Ulutus.
After his confidant in Mandu Latu fled to Chunzhi Village with his infant princess, Ulutus, who was shocked by the Mandu Latus tribe, immediately sent cavalry to inquire about the situation.
Walking in the tribal camp that has been reduced to ashes, the white snow in the distance forms a sharp contrast with the black earth in front of you.
Fortunately, the bandits have gone away!
And on the way they came, they did not see any trace of the horse bandits. It was also the essence of the grassland that was the downstream of Hailar. There were plenty of water and grass, and the tribes were distributed more densely. When they went there, it was easier to rob food.
After carefully searching around the camp and confirming that no survivors were found, the cavalry was divided into two teams. One of them went to the direction of Chunzhi Village to report the message, and the other team went to investigate the situation of the horse bandits based on the traces left in the snow.
Later, after knowing that the Mandu Latu tribe had been completely destroyed, Ulutus was neither happy nor sad, but was a little lost.
When I first learned that the sixth brother of the cheap wanted to annex his tribe, Ulutus wanted to take revenge. However, after Zuer was sent, no news came. Originally, Ulutus was a little dissatisfied, but the sixth brother of the cheap didn't need to take revenge at all, so he was exterminated by the bandits.
Things in the world are unpredictable, but that’s all!
"Go and bring Ulaanbari to me!" Ulutus considered a little and asked Hunur to bring Mandulatu's confidant here.
Not long after, Ulaanbari, who looked a little nervous, came to Ulutus. After a while, he heard Ulutus say, "I have sent someone to the Latus tribe of Mandu to see it. There has been indeed robbery and burnt down there. Now, except for you and Urina, the whole clan should have no more survivors."
Although he had no hope for the survival of other people in the tribe, after he really confirmed that everyone else was indeed dead, Ulaanbari still felt cold in his heart.
"Prince!" Ulaanbari choked and said, "When the king entrusted the princess to his slave, he once said that among the kings, only the nine kings were the best friends with him. If the Latu tribe in Mandu had no chance of re-establishment, please take good care of the princess. As a thank you, the tribe treasures buried under the camp can be presented to the princess as much as possible to repay the princess for raising her."
"Ah? There is still a child support?" Ulutus did not expect that the sixth brother of the cheap had this move. He was a little surprised. Ulaanbari didn't understand what the child support meant, and looked at Ulutus with some confusion.
"Nothing! I just said that Brother Six is too flirting with me! After all, Urina is my niece. I, as an uncle, cannot ignore her." Ulutus said in a good uncle's tone. Anyway, there are only multiple children, and he doesn't need to take care of him personally, so it's nothing.
And taking this opportunity to get the fief of the cheap Sixth Brother together, it is more cost-effective.
What's more, Ulaanbari also said that raising children has child support. Ulutus is not making any money, so don't want the money delivered to the door.
With this idea in mind, Ulutus took Urina as his daughter that night in front of the tribe owner. Then he arranged for the cavalry to return to the camp in Mandu Latu with Ulaanbari, so as to get the treasure back as soon as possible.
After doing this, Ulutus went to the temporary prison built in the village.
The bandits caught last time were closed there, and because they seemed to be useful, they never killed them.
When we arrived at the cell, there was a guard who was guarding the door dutifully.
Since the last time the candidate for the quarantine was determined, the atmosphere in the village has changed drastically. Not to mention the duty of the guards, but in the past, the daily regulations such as not allowed to urinate or defecate anywhere and drink life were also implemented thoroughly.
So now the village can’t smell any strange smell!
However, the foreign caravan was scolded several times because he did not understand the rules of the village.
"Prince!", the guard nodded and insisted. Ulutus stipulated that when the guard was on duty, he only needed to nod and insisted, and did not need to perform those false rituals.
"Well! Open the door and I'll go in and take a look!" There was nothing left outside the cell and the ordinary woodcut house. There were tables, chairs and other objects inside. Abatu was squinting his eyes and trying hard to identify the text in the literacy textbook.
Currently, Wulutus promotes Chinese and Mongolian bilingualism. Among them, Mongolian is a variant of Weiwuer's writing, while Chinese is a simplified Chinese character promoted by Wulutus based on later memories. And the Chinese pinyin is also substituted into Mongolian spelling, which greatly accelerated the progress of literacy.
In the past, Abatu was a big and rude man who could not read big characters, but now he is a centurion, especially when he was beaten by the official last time, which made him feel that Zhou Shao had read more books, so he was appreciated by the prince. So if he still couldn't read big characters, the status of the centurion would be difficult to protect in the future.
Therefore, I have been working hard to recognize words recently! Although progress is not fast, diligence can make up for my shortcomings, and it is not slow.
"Ah! The prince is here!" Abatu, who was recognizing the words, noticed that the light coming in outside the house was much dimmed. When he looked up, he saw that Ulutus was here.
"Well! Let me take a look at the horse bandit I caught." Ulutus nodded. Since the village is not large and there are not so many people to build separate administrative offices. Therefore, this temporary renovated cell is actually the usual residence of the guards.
The cell where the prisoners are actually imprisoned is below the ground of the house.
Following the steps that had just been dug out, there was a basement of no more than ten square meters. A wooden cage was placed in the basement, with a stack of hay mats in the cage, with a person curled up on it.
It seemed as if I felt someone coming, the curled-up person moved and struggled to turn over.
When he got closer, Ulutus immediately smelled the strong smell of urine. Obviously, he would not prepare a separate toilet in this cage.
"Prince! This place is dirty, why don't I take the prisoner out for trial!" Abatu immediately suggested that he felt Ulutus' frown.
"No! Just ask here, don't be so troublesome!" Ulutus shook his head and came to a distance of only ten steps from the wooden cage.
At this time, the man in the cage also saw Ulutus. The other party had a unkempt head and a dirty face. There were only a pair of eyes on his dirty face, which looked very bright.
"Tell me, do you want to die or live?" Ulutus rushed into the topic without false temptation.
The other party seemed to be surprised by Ulutus' directness, and was a little stunned for a moment.
Abatu was dissatisfied with the other party's slow reaction and knocked on the cage hard, which scared the other party so much that he quickly shrank his body back.
"Living - I want to live!", as if he had made up some determination, he gritted his teeth.
"Okay! Since you want to live, tell me who is the leader of the horse bandit and how many horses are there?" Wulutus asked.
"I-I'm just a minion, I-I don't know!"
"Abatu, take him out to feed the wolf! Since I have given him a chance to survive, he doesn't need to leave it anymore!" After being locked up for a few days, generally speaking, the bandit's desire to survive will become very strong. But this man seemed to be still scheming, and Ulutus didn't have the patience to accompany him to waste it.
Abatu, who had long since wanted to keep the bandits, dragged him out of the wooden cage without any hesitation.
No matter how the other party begs for mercy, as long as Ulutus doesn't say anything, he will meticulously execute the order of feeding the wolf.
When he arrived outside the village, Abatu wrapped him around the foot of a tree and cut his ankle. During this snowy season, the hungry wolf pack of wolves who had been hungry for a winter would soon arrive after smelling the smell of blood.
