Volume 1 Chapter 169 Princess
The big dark horse jumped into the Guihua City Gate. Zhai Zhe only brought a hundred personal guards, his whole body was covered with armor, and his iron hooves were fast all the way.
Less than a month after the war ended, Guihua City seemed to have returned to its former prosperity, and the business alliance shops were crowded with people.
Omubu Khan was like a fence-bearing man, and he would turn to the Jurchens at any time. He only wanted to preserve his tribes and wealth, but the Tumots were crucial to the stability of the southern desert.
Since setting the future path of the Han army as independent, Zhai Zhe made more cautious decisions in every step. He and Huang Taiji were like chess players playing games, using the enemy's light and darkness, and pretending to be himself. He won half a move in Mo Nan's battle. But the person on the opposite side was the most wise chess players of this era, whether it was the inner Manguertai, Amin and Daishan, or the covetous Lin Danhan, and Yuan Chonghuan, all defeated. What's more, the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty was a hundred times higher than that of the Han army.
Because of the weakness of the Han tribe, Huang Taiji could not face it, but there was not much time left for Zhai Zhe.
Only Mao Hanyin greeted him at the city gate.
Zhai Zhe dismounted and handed the reins to his personal soldiers behind him. He ordered a hundred cavalry to be stationed outside the city and to follow Mao Hanyin into the city alone.
Along the way, Mao Hanyin's attitude towards Zhai Zhe was much more polite than before.
After entering the royal palace, Omubu Khan came forward to greet him.
"Meet the Khan!" Zhai Zhe's respect was as always.
Omubuhan raised his hand slightly, and Zhai Zhe's attitude made him relieved and satisfied.
"I heard that you opened a trade for the Chahar tribe in Hetao!"
"I heard that there were several battles between Chahar and Tumot in Guihua City. This was the case to avoid the intensification of the conflict between the two departments!"
Omubuhan nodded and said, "It's good, just don't delay the business in Guihua City!"
He summoned Zhai Zhe this time to test the attitude of the Han tribe. Since he heard that the Han tribe had a good relationship with Chahar, he couldn't sleep or eat. The Mongolian tribes were friends the day before yesterday, but today they might become enemies. Chahar and Tumot's former hatred were not far away. Chahar's cavalry was twice as high as Tumot, and Hetao was not enough for many Chahar people to nomad. After this winter, the Chahar tribe must migrate, and naturalization is a city of wealth, and anyone will salivate.
Zhai Zhe smiled and said, "That's nature, we are Tumot's Han tribe!"
He came alone to give Omubuhan a reassurance. The Han tribe has always been affiliated with Tumote's name and it is very beneficial. The Tumote people had a good reputation in the Ming Dynasty. Omubuhan was also the hereditary Shunyi King of the Ming Dynasty. Chahar's reputation in the Ming Dynasty was not good.
After the two discussed for a while, Omubuhan ordered another 20,000 arrows and agreed to deliver the goods before the end of the year.
In the transaction with the Han people, the Mongols most needed iron weapons and weapons. There was no special skill in smelting on the grassland. Only Tumote had a few craftsmen who went out of the frontier. A few years ago, the Cao family in Luzhou, which was the best in Khahukou, was cut off from the frontier by the Shang League and was forced to sell the iron weapons directly to the Shang League. Zhai Zhe built the Han village in the deep mountains into a weapon manufacturing workshop, but there were few craftsmen, so it was very hard to transport the thick iron from the Senei to the mountains. The production scale has never been large, and most of the weapons were transported directly from the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty private individuals did not dare to gather craftsmen to make weapons. They could not get so much goods for purchases from the border troops. Many of them were defective. The Merchant Alliance wanted to supply the two major tribes Chahar and Tumot, and they could only delay the delivery date.
Farewell to Omubu Khan, Mao Hanyin sent Zhai out of the city.
After passing through the crowded street and reaching the city gate, Zhai Zhe asked the guards' cavalry to return. Before he could summon his personal guards, a team of cavalry came towards him, and the headed maroon horse rushed straight into Zhai Zhe.
Zhai Zhe had no time to react, but felt a gust of wind blowing towards him, and hurriedly dodged sideways. However, the red horse raised its front hooves half a foot away in front of him and stopped suddenly, accompanied by a neighing sound.
Zhai Zhe looked up. The knight immediately laughed, reached out and stroked his hair in his ears, and jumped off his horse.
"Princess Ulan!"
Wulan treaded her leather boots, walked to a foot in front of Zhai Zhe, looked up and said coquettishly, "I'm here to transform myself, I'm leaving if I don't look at it?"

The princess was very close, her towering chest was only two or three fists away from Zhai Zhe.
Zhai Zhe looked down and saw a pair of bright red lips sucking like orchids. He took a step back and said with a smile: "I don't know if the princess is in the city, so I didn't dare to bother you!" Since he met Ulan in the princess's mansion at the beginning of the year, he guessed what the girl thought about him. The next half year was a tense battle that made everyone in Mo Nan make him forget all this.
Not far away, some herders were watching here. No matter which tribe they came from, they had heard rumors about the beautiful princess of Tumote and the Qianhu of the Han tribe.
Zhai Zhe was a little embarrassed.
But Wulan was scruples and reached out to hold Zhai Zhe's arm and said, "Since you can't see me today, don't rush back!" After so many storms, it is still a mystery who will fall in her marriage in a short period of time. So just take a look at it, and at least you can see the person you like.
Zhai Zhe dared not enter the princess's mansion alone again.
While speaking, the Han guards also noticed the movements waiting here, and the personal soldiers led the big dark horse to come.
The big dark horse has been raising its head since it approached. When it was approaching Princess Ulan, it suddenly neighed to the sky and the personal soldiers kept pulling it. The red horse also stretched its neck to the surface. The two horses were good horses, and they were dissatisfied with each other, as if they were going to fight.
Seeing this, Zhai Zhe apologized to Ulan, walked over and gently stroked the shiny mane of the big black horse. Seeing that he was recognized by his master, the big black horse became honest and still stood up straight. He really wanted to be a winner.
"It's true that it's a good horse!" Ulan reached out and wanted to touch her, but she didn't expect that the big dark horse would turn around and avoid her movements.
"This horse is so handsome, princess, don't mind!"
Wulan curled her lips and said, "What's so great? It's not as good as my horse!" Seeing Zhai Zhe's disapproval of his expression, he said, "Do you dare to compete with me if you don't believe it?"
Of course, Zhai Zhe would not fight with a woman, and shook his head and said, "Of course, it's the princess's horse that is powerful!"
When Wulan saw Zhai Zhe getting ready to get on the horse and leave, he suddenly said, "If I had known that you Han people were timid, I would not even dare to race horses with the grassland women!" This sentence was quite loud, and the personal soldiers around him could hear it clearly. The brave Mongolians were eager to imagine clamoring, and then they were blocked by Ulan's cold gaze.
Zhai Zhe turned over and turned his head and said, "The princess really wants to do it, I will run with you!"
"Okay!" Ulan was excited and took the reins of the red horse from his personal soldiers and flew onto the horse.
Two "drives" sounds, and two horses fly away toward the Tokto grassland.
The personal soldiers also formed their own team and followed the two of them to catch up.
Zhai Zhe was in the grassland for five years and his riding skills were no less than those of the Mongols. He drove the big dark horse and Ulan's red horse. No matter how hard Wulan used his strength, he could not get him half a step.
After running for fifty or sixty miles in one breath, Zhai Zhe heard that Ulan was already panting, and blocked the dark horse and said, "Do you really want to be a part of me?"
"I just want to ride a horse with you!" Ulan held the horse and turned around, with a quiet tone.
Zhai Zhe's tense heartstrings were instantly tugged, and a feeling of pity flowed out of his chest. He didn't know if this was love, but he just wanted the girl in front of him to live happier. That winter four years ago, he entered the Tumot Khan tent alone, and Ulan, who was still in his prime, gave him the initial trust. Then they accompanied each other through the most difficult journey, and the pressure he was under was even better than that of this girl.
The sword light and sword shadow are originally a world of men, but how has war ever allowed women to walk away?
If I marry Princess Ulan, Zhai Zhe's heart was thrilled.
If he married Ulan, he would be able to get a share of the Tumot tribe. The Han generals and Tumot really merged into one, which is a situation that Omubuhan would never allow him to see.

"I am willing to ride a horse with you too! I am willing to take you to see the prosperous cities in Senei!" Zhai Zhe's eyes were clear.
Ulan was stunned, staring at Zhai Zhe with his eyes tightly, not believing that he could hear such words from the person in front of him.
"What makes me happiest when I come to the grassland is to know you!"
Wulan's face turned red and she let out a crisp "giggle" laugh. She put up her skirt with one hand and turned around in front of Zhai Zhe.
"Nice to meet you too!"
Zhai Zhe watched her turn quietly and said, "I want to tell Da Khan that I want to marry you!"
Ulan curled her smile and walked to Zhai Zhe. A pair of tender gushe grabbed Zhai Zhe's thick hands, raised her head and said softly: "It's a pity that this is not the most prosperous era in Tumote!"
"I want to marry you!" Zhai Zhe's pronunciation was straightforward. He suddenly thought that Fan Yi, who was in Datong, had already married his wife, how could Tumote's princess marry a Han people as a concubine.
"It was the happiest moment of my years to be able to hear these words, but if I belong to a Han person, I can't belong to Tumote anymore!" Ulan showed a sly smile.
In the afternoon sun, that smile was so satisfying.
The big black horse and the red horse were chewing on the yellow and green grass side by side, and an eagle flew past in the sky.
The two teams of personal soldiers waited for an hour before seeing two thousand-mile horses returning, and then one team headed north and the other headed south.
On the dark horse, Zhai Zhe remained silent all the way. He wanted to marry Ulan. This was a promise. After saying this, he realized that he had long cared about this girl in his heart. But among the three men who had rumors with Ulan, he was the least likely one. Yuetuo and the prince of Chechen Khan could bring powerful foreign aid to Tumote, and he would only split Tumote. Ulan's reputation among Tumote people Omubu Khan knew very well how could he tolerate Tumote's appearance of another three lady by being shackled by the three lady.
As soon as the jujube was red, Wulan's face was filled with an unconcealed smile. It turned out that the Han man was not a piece of wood! She did not take that sentence seriously, and it was enough to get a promise.
Autumn goes and winter comes.
Since the first snowfall, the busy grassland has returned to silence, and the business in Guihua City is also in a semi-closed state.
Duo Juejie, the master of Huang Sect who has been practicing in Liangcheng, welcomed his fellow disciple from Liaodong, and then the two of them joined Guihua City (to be continued)
