Reincarnation of the powerful minister

"Eldest Prince, you will arrive at the city of Hastur after fifty miles ahead," the scout cavalry reported.

Altan nodded and signaled the whole army to stop where they were, set up camp, and enter the city at dawn tomorrow.

The dome tent was quickly set up, some of the cavalry built a bonfire, some went to fetch water from a nearby river, and some prepared dinner, and they operated in an orderly manner without ordering.

For nomads who live by water and grass, wandering around is the norm, and horseback and dome tents are their home.Everyone in the tribe is a herdsman, horseman, warrior, heroic guard of the Khan and brother of his tribe.

This time, there were about 5000 Oirat cavalry accompanying the escort, because King Khan was in good and bad health, and they were all led by the eldest prince Altan.

Altan once persuaded Hu Kuoli: "Father Khan has not recovered from his illness, so it is better to stay in the royal court to recuperate. This time, let me go on behalf of Father Khan."

Hu Kuoli shook his head and refused: "This is the first alliance between Oala and Tatar in a hundred years. It is of great significance. I heard that the little khan of Tatar will also go. If I don't show up, won't people laugh at us Oara timid."

Altan couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only order someone to take care of him along the way.

In addition to the great elder Heiduo, who has become more and more influential in the clan, Khan King Hu Kuoli also brought three shamans with him.

Shamans are not only witch doctors, but also psychic messengers. They are rare in number, and they are the ones who heal the tribe members when they are sick.

Among the shamans with outstanding ability and reputation, they are honored as "big witches". The nobles often support one or two big witches by their side, serving only their own families as a symbol of power.

The oldest shaman with unpredictable abilities is called "Old Witch". He is almost a legendary figure, and very few people can get a glimpse of his true face.In the entire Wala tribe, there is only one legendary old witch, who is said to live in seclusion at the foot of Ulan Mountain, guarding the sacred tree "Toketilak".

This time the eldest prince was brought back to life by the gift of the sacred tree, and returned safely. Many people in the tribe curiously asked him about the situation of the sacred tree and the old witch, saying that he had wandered past the foot of Wulan Mountain, but only saw a misty ice field.

Altan smiled and didn't say much.

The tribe thought that he could not reveal the will of the gods, so they had to give up regretfully.However, they found that the sacred tree tattoo on the eldest prince's body was different from before, and became larger and more realistic and majestic.The people of the clan believed that this was the revelation of a miracle, which meant that the eldest prince was not only the son of the sacred tree, but also the most honorable shaman who inherited the divine power, so they respected him very much, and no one called him by his name anymore. "Altan".

There were even some very pious clansmen who knelt down and prayed for blessings whenever they saw the tattoos on Altan's body, which made Altan feel a little uncomfortable, and even covered his robes tightly in summer.

Once when he went to bathe in the river during the day, he found that there were hundreds of people squatting here and there in the grass on the river bank, men, women and children, all of whom wanted to see the whole picture of the tattoos.In desperation, he could only change the bathing time to midnight.

Before that, if someone asked who the most powerful shaman of the Wara tribe was, everyone would say without hesitation, "Of course it is the great witch Heiduo."

But if he asks again now, he will probably change his mind and say, "Of course it is our golden prince."

The remaining four or five out of ten believed that the eldest prince was indeed more honorable, and that the medicines for curing diseases were also very effective, but after all, he had never presided over a sacrificial ceremony, nor had he used methods such as divination, exorcism, or blessing in public. Spiritual ability may not be comparable to that of Hei Duo.

When this word came to Altan, he just smiled, neither admitted nor denied, and his attitude towards Great Witch Heiduo was the same as before, neither arrogant nor condescending.Hu Kuoli urged him several times to be a teacher, but he postponed it with excuses.

For this meeting, before departure, a ceremony of praying for blessings was held as usual.

There had been rumors in the tribe before that the eldest prince would take on the role of chief priest shaman for this ceremony, but in fact Altan had no intention of participating, and Heido still completed the ceremony in the end.

This incident also became evidence that "Although the eldest prince has a noble status, his psychic power is not as good as that of Heido".The families close to Altan were resentful because of this, Altan himself not only did not show any dissatisfaction, but his attitude towards Heido became more polite.

On the contrary, in the past few months, King Khan Hukuli has expressed his dissatisfaction with Altan in public several times.The reason is that Altan intervened in his treatment.

He poured the medicine sent by Altan on the grass in front of the tent, saying, "You don't have to take two doses of medicine for one disease", and also reprimanded Altan for "a doubtful heart can't make a panacea".In desperation, Altan privately asked the maid to secretly replace the pills Heiduo sent. After one success, Hu Kuoli suddenly went crazy and chopped the maid into meat paste with his own hands.

That was Altan's mother, the dowry maid of the deceased Song Ling Ke Dun, who had been with them for 20 years like a family member.Altan regarded her as his own aunt.

Bor Khan Hu Kuoli, the eagle on the sacred tree, the shell is still his father Khan, but the inside has already been poisoned to become a devil - this realization made Altan extremely painful.

He shut himself in the dome alone and thought all night.Since then, I never persuaded my father to change his medicine.

Because of this, Hu Kuoli's attitude towards him improved, and he heard that he regretted it and wanted to worship Heiduo as his teacher, but he couldn't save face for a while, and the father and son returned to their old closeness.So for this meeting, five thousand cavalry were handed over to him to lead.

When Altan entered the tent of the Khan with his dinner, Hu Kuoli was sitting behind the table, propping his sunken cheeks with his hands, and dozing off sleepily. The newly revised alliance document was still in another hand on hand.

The document has been revised three times before and after, and this is the fourth time.Altan had only read the first edition, and felt that the conditions were unfavorable to Wala, so he suggested that his father Khan revise it.But what happened after the modification, Hu Kuoli no longer let him know.

Altan put down the tray silently, walked over and took the documents out of his father's hand, and looked through them carefully, his face became more gloomy the more he looked.

In the end, a face was almost black into the night sky before the rainstorm.

——The conditions in the document are not only that the more they are changed, the weaker they become, they are simply handing over the interests of the Wara tribe to the Tatars!And there are many traps in the text. On the surface, it seems fair and even takes advantage of it. In fact, the loss is all suffered by grandma's family.This reminded him of an idiom in the Central Plains: Losing power and humiliating the country!

Who proposed the alliance conditions, Heiduo?Altan clenched his fists loudly, wanting to wake up Hu Kuoli, and shouted: "Father Khan, are you crazy?!"

But after taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger and impulse.

He knew that Father Khan was not only insane, but also hopeless. He had become a beast in human skin, just like the bear that ran over a fence to beg for medicine, and finally cut itself open with its claws.

After standing silently for a long time, Altan gently stuffed the document back into Hu Kuoli's hand, picked up the plate and left the king's tent.

Night fell over the city of Hastur.

This place was originally a gathering place for westward caravans, but it gradually evolved into a small city with chaotic architectural styles, including courtyards from the Central Plains, felt tents from Beimo, and stone houses with arches from Xiyi.Most of the residents are merchants, with a large population flow and complex ethnic composition.

The most gorgeous building in the city is a two-story Central Plains-style pavilion. At the moment, the lights are brightly lit, and the half-naked body of the dancer is writhing enchantingly in the arena.Sitting at the top, Wuha Lang hugged left and right, laughing and being persuaded to drink by the beauties.

In all fairness, the beloved son of the laughing stock of Beimo and Tatar Grand Master is not ugly.His face has a rigid outline, thick eyebrows and round eyes, and a short beard around his chin, which gives him a somewhat mighty air. Unfortunately, his eye bags are swollen and his eyes are scattered. When his eyes fall on women, there is always a greasy lewdness. .

The messenger waited outside the door for a long time. Seeing that the banquet was not over for a long time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come in to report. He almost smashed his head with a wine glass.

"My lord, the Oirats have arrived and are staying overnight not far from the city." The orderly finished speaking quickly, and immediately retreated, covering his head.

Wu Halang took the new wine glass filled with wine from the beauty, and said casually: "Come on, I'll come. After signing the alliance agreement tomorrow, go back to each house quickly. How can there be no one in this small town that doesn't shit?" Yes, there is not even a girl who can see past."

The Tatar beauty who persuaded him to drink laughed and said, "My lord, don't have newcomers, just forget about us old ones!"

"Don't worry, you are the most beautiful until you find a better one." Wu Halang smiled and squeezed her chin, sucking the wine in her mouth.

Although these beauties who served him were one of a hundred beauties from the Tatar tribe, Wuhalang still felt that their bodies were not slender and delicate, and their skin was not fair enough.

In fact, he prefers women from the Central Plains—it’s a pity that most of the girls who were snatched back from the border were village girls and Xiaojiabiyu, who would be disposed of by him without mercy after playing with them once or twice.And some Zhenlie women who would rather die than submit will only be abused even worse in his hands, and their bodies will be bruised when they die.

Father Tuohuotai is attacking Datong. If he can tear through the Great Ming's line of defense again, he also wants to go south with the army and go to the capital to plunder those famous ladies, even concubines and empresses. Bliss?Wu Ha Lang laughed loudly, and tore off the veil wrapped around the beauty in his arms.

In a certain alley in the city of Hastur, several figures stepped into a stone house one after another and closed the door tightly.

The light in the house was like beans, and a thin man dressed as a scholar was reading a book under the light. It was Yexue, the main flag building in Xuancheng that never accepts nights.

The few people who had just entered the room were men and women, and one of them, a blue-eyed orchid wearing a dance dress and a veil, spoke first: "Wuhalang is drinking and having fun in the Feiyun Building in the city. The little Tatar Khan was settled by him The second floor of Feiyun Building."

A shepherd with a local face continued: "The Oirats are about to arrive, and they have set up camp more than 50 miles outside the city. King Khan Hukuoli and the eldest prince Altan are here."

"Have you found out the exact time and place of the meeting?" Lou Yexue asked.

Another businessman replied: "I found out that it is tomorrow, and the location is Feiyun Tower."

Lou Yexue nodded: "Thanks for your hard work, then follow the original plan."

The dancer girl who spoke first said with a coquettish smile: "Should we keep it simple, I will try to climb into his bed tonight and poison him to death."

Lou Yexue glanced at her, turned her eyes back to the page, and said indifferently: "A stupid pig who only knows how to eat, drink and play, if I just want him to die, I can do it when I first arrived in Hasta City three days ago. It should be rotten today. Uharang must die, but he must die in the hands of Altan after the conflict between the two sides of the alliance."

"But what if there is no conflict between the two sides?" The dancer was still a little bit unwilling to miss the opportunity to make a phone call.

Lou Yexue sneered: "Then ask your Captain Huo what you eat, don't ask me."
