Ashes

"Huh? Who else? Didn't Sibeile propose to the Great Khan to raise troops?"

"You will never guess, it's Dorgon."

Erdeni said unexpectedly: "How could it be the little elder brother?"

"Unexpectedly, I was also surprised. On the day I asked you to discuss the matter of raising troops, he suddenly said, is it going to war, which shocked me a lot. At first, I suspected that Father Khan had already mobilized troops. The plan was revealed unintentionally, and later when discussing the matter, I felt that it should not be Father Khan."

"Little elder brother is only seven years old, so someone behind him must have taught him."

"I suspected that too, but who could it be?"

"Could it be the princess?" Erdeni whispered.

Huang Taiji shook his head slowly: "It's not like, she has some brains, but she doesn't know anything about war, so how can she teach Dorgon?"

"Who else could that be?"

"However, he is smart not only in this matter, he also often has amazing words."

"Little elder brother is so close to you, you have to be more careful, lest someone have ulterior motives."

"What's so scary about this." Huang Taiji smiled, "I just want to stay by my side. Only when I get closer can I see more clearly. The smarter the better, I just want to pull all these people by my side, for me Used."

Jealousy can't be a big weapon after all, but if you want to be able to suppress all kinds of romantic figures, you have to be a hero.

When Erdeni heard the words, he stopped talking, but respected him more deeply.He is Nurhachi's courtier, and he is deeply favored by the Great Khan. He has seen the words and deeds of several big Baylors, and he has a reputation in his heart.

The door curtain was swished open, and Daishan, whose body was half wet by the heavy rain, walked in.

"Second brother." Huang Taiji went up to meet him.

"Old Ba, Father Khan told us to go, let's go." He said while wiping the drops of water from his head.

"Well, second brother, do you know what's going on?"

"I heard that it was raining so heavily. Father Khan thought it was unlucky, so he thought of retreating. We will go there in a while, and we must persuade Father Khan to continue marching."

If you retreat at this moment, your morale will be exhausted, and if you want to start again in the future, it will be difficult.Huang Taiji nodded his head, several rhetoric had already rolled in his heart.

Hetuala is also torrential rain.

Dorgon was lying on the window looking at the dark rainy night, occasionally there were a few lightning flashes, making his face twinkle.

Azig didn't know where to go, and ran back drenched, Abahai asked someone to burn a brazier, changed Azig's dirty clothes, and wiped his body.

"Dorgon." Abahai called Dorgon, who was in a trance.

Dorgon looked back at his mother-in-law.

"Where is Dodo? Why didn't you come back with you?"

Dodo?After arguing with him in the afternoon, I just wandered outside alone without seeing him. "Didn't he come back? I wasn't with him."

"This kid, it's raining so much outside, I don't know where he went, and I don't know if he has eaten anything." Abahai was worried.

"I saw him in the afternoon." Azig said, "I saw him sneaking back, carrying a big bundle of something and then running away again."

"Where did he go?"

"I was in a hurry to leave, but I didn't see clearly."

"What did he bring back?" Dorgon asked.

"do not know."

"Why don't you know, didn't you see him?" Dorgon involuntarily emphasized his tone.

"I didn't see it clearly, what do you want?" Azig said angrily.

Abahai reprimanded the two of them: "Talk well, why are you arguing?"

Dorgon realized something, grabbed a coir raincoat and rushed into the rainstorm without saying a word.

"Dorgon, where are you going!" Abahai shouted behind him.

"I'm going to find Dodo!" He had already run away, his voice drowned in the sound of rain and thunder.

The rain was very heavy, hitting the muddy ground, hitting a hole, and hitting Dorgon's face, which was painful.He ran on the sticky muddy ground, the mud stuck to his feet, his steps became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't run fast at all.

Could he be looking for the wrench?

Dorgon thought about it, and kept walking, pattering on the ground, splashing muddy water a foot high.He ran to the place where the finger was thrown in one breath, panting from exhaustion, and almost fell to the ground.

"Duodo?" He roared, a thunder exploded in the sky, and his voice could not be heard at all.

Dorgon panicked, what should he do if something happens in such bad weather.

Under the rain, Dorgon saw a rope tied to a tree, hanging straight into the mountain stream, and Duo Duo must have slid down the rope.

Dorgon held onto the tree and leaned down: "Duo Duo? Are you there?"

The sound of the rain almost covered all the sounds, a flash of lightning flashed by, and the mountain stream was lit up. Dorgon stared wide-eyed, but found nothing.The rain hit Dorgon's face, dripping continuously along his eyelashes, until it flowed into his eyes and he could barely open his eyes. He wiped it carelessly, grabbed the rope, and climbed down.

The rain-soaked rope was slippery and could not be pinched, and the rocks were too smooth to hold on. Dorgon almost missed and fell several times.He wrapped the rope around his hand a few times and held it firmly, the shrinking rope made imprints on his palm.

The rain dazzled his eyes, he shook his head and continued to climb.

"Brother?" A crisp voice came through the sound of rain, full of surprise and excitement.

Dorgon looked down, and on a raised stone, Duoduo was sitting there with his knees hugged.

"Brother, what are you doing down here!" Dodo shouted.

Dorgon quickened his speed and slid down to his side, the stone was not big, Dorgon immediately felt much smaller when he stood on it.

"Are you crazy?" Dorgon shouted.

Doduo raised his head, motionless, as the lightning flashed, his whole body was already soaked, his clothes were dripping water constantly against his skin, and his lips were also abnormally purple.

Dorgon immediately went up to hug him, and held him in his arms. His body was icy cold, stiff and unable to move, and his hands were like ice cubes.

"Why are you so ridiculous, I thought something happened to you!" Dorgon was angry and worried.

"I'm fine. It's raining too hard. I can't climb up. I want to climb up after the rain stops." Duoduo shivered slightly from the cold, but he was still very energetic.

"You're going to freeze to death before the rain stops!" Dorgon pulled him up, "Grab me, and I'll carry you up."

"I can't go up, it's too slippery."

"Try it."

Dorgon took off his coir raincoat and put it on Duoduo.

"I'm already wet, so I don't need to wear it." Dodo refused.

"Wear!" Dorgon sipped lowly, not to be questioned, "Wear warm!"

He wrapped the rope around their waists a few times, and wrapped it around his hands a few more times, and began to try to climb up.

But it's easy to get down and hard to get up. The smooth rocks washed by the rain are slippery when pedaled up.

Duoduo lay on his back and held him tightly, and yelled close to his ear: "Brother, no, if you are not careful, you will fall."

Dorgon tried several times and had to give up. At least on this rock, they were safe.

I don't know if someone will come looking for them, even if they come, they may not be able to find them.Do we really have to wait until the rain stops?But judging by the way the rain is falling, when will it stop?

Looking at Doduo's appearance again, he folded his arms and trembled, not knowing how long he could hold on.

Duo Duo sat down with his knees hugged again, and tugged at the corner of Dorgon's clothes: "Brother, sit down."

Dorgon sat next to him, because the bumpy stone above his head was blocking the rain.

Duoduo untied the coir raincoat and wrapped them tightly. Fortunately, the coir coir raincoat was so big that the two of them were small enough to cover it.The two of them were so close together, huddled on the rocks, to keep each other warm.

Although the whole world was noisy, apart from the sound of thunder and rain, there was only the sound of the two of them breathing.

"Brother, you are so stupid. You should call someone. What are you doing down here? Both of you are trapped below now." Duoduo leaned on Dorgon and said with a smile.

Dorgon gave him a sideways glance: "Aren't you worried about you? How do I know if you're down here?" In fact, he realized this problem right away, but he was so anxious that he didn't have time to think about it.

Duoduo laughed straight away, spread the fist he had been holding, and the deerbone finger was intact in his hand, soaked in water, shining brightly: "Brother, don't be angry with me, I'll help you find it gone."

Dorgon's heart choked, and he looked at the finger firmly, neither answering nor speaking.

"Brother?" Dodo waved his palm in front of him.

"Actually, you don't have to look for it. How could it be more important than your safety?" Dorgon said in a low voice.

"But since you like it, and I lost it, I must find it." Dodo vowed, "Although I really hate that you value this finger wrench so much."

"It's not important..." Dorgon frowned, "You will understand many things in the future."

Duoduo shook his head and hugged Dorgon's arm: "I don't understand. Brother, for me, as long as we brothers are always together, fighting together, hunting together, I will be the happiest."

"Yes, we will always be together." Dorgon touched Duoduo's head.

"Don't always be with mynah in the future."

Hearing this, Dorgon said seriously: "Duo Duo, listen carefully. Our future road will not be smooth sailing, and it can even be said that there will be many ups and downs, so you may not understand some of the things I am doing now, but You have to trust me, I am doing it for the good of our brothers."

Duoduo said blankly, "Brother, I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to know that I have my reasons for doing these things, that's all."

Dodo thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

"I don't know when the rain will fall." Doduo tapped his head in frustration when he thought of being trapped in the mountain stream.

Dorgon looked up, hoping to see the flames or hear the voices of people.

After an unknown amount of time, Duo Duo dozed off drowsily, and Duo ErGun patted his face: "Don't sleep, you will freeze when you fall asleep."

Duoduo rubbed his eyes: "I'm so sleepy."

The heavy rain was a little lighter, and some shouts were faintly heard.

"Someone is coming!" Dodo jumped up and shouted loudly: "Hey, we are here!"

Noisy voices gradually came to them, and they knew that at last they didn't have to be exposed to rain and cold in the ravine, they could warm up by the fire and sleep comfortably under the covers.

It was Erbeile Amin and Sanbeile Mangurtai who rescued them. It was Abahai who asked them for help after he had not seen Dorgon for a long time.Fortunately, the heavy rain was muddy, and Dorgon left footprints where he ran.

"What are you two doing here in the middle of the night!" Amin roared viciously with a rough voice, and he was also drenched by the heavy rain.

Mang Gurtai followed suit and said: "It's not like this to be playful, you don't even want your life?"

These two people are the fiercest among the elder brothers. After being yelled at by them, even Duoduo dared not say anything more.

"Okay, I found it, send your master back, and everyone else." Amin ordered everyone.

Two strong servants carried them up one by one.Dorgon finally felt relieved, he took out his finger and twirled it a few times to look through it, Duo Duo's words were still echoing in his mind.

It’s good to keep some things in mind, you don’t need anything special to remember, this thing almost hurt Doduo again, so don’t worry about it.

As soon as he let go of his hand, he let the wrench fall to the ground, sank into the mud with a plop, and the shiny wrench was stained with dirty muddy water.

After they walked away, one of them approached slowly, bent down and picked it up, wiped it on his body, and stuffed it into his arms.
