Chapter 7: Encountering a relative (7)

At the first moment when Mei Yingchun, Prince Shiwuzhile returned to the tribe, Chi Duo Khan sent his confidant Tieheer to Mei Yingchun, in name to protect the safety of His Highness the Prince, but in fact, it was to conduct comprehensive monitoring of him. Tieheer held the special authorization of Chi Duo Khan: as long as Mei Yingchun was found to have any signs of disobedience and rebellion, he could be killed. Therefore, from the beginning, Tieheer never truly respected Mei Yingchun as a prince. In Tieheer's eyes, Mei Yingchun either became a puppet of Chi Duo Khan or was mercilessly eliminated, and there was no third possibility.

However, this prince, who was as scheming as the sea, had a decisive and cold behavior, developed a third possibility. He kept a distance from Chi Duo, neither obeyed nor showed any unfair intentions. He did not become Chi Duo's puppet, nor did he make Chi Duo feel urgently threatened, so he could not find a reason to kill him for the time being. After dealing with his father's funeral, he immediately left Tuqishi and passed by the battle for power again.

In order to test Mei Yingchun's true thoughts, the Khan of Duo appointed Mei Yingchun to represent the Tuqi Shi tribe to participate in the New Year's celebrations of the Great Zhou court. If Mei Yingchun just pretended not to be interested in Khan's position, he would never give up the opportunity to develop close relations with the Great Zhou court. The Great Zhou, the overlord of the Central Plains with outstanding strength, was it also the object of surrender of the countries in the Western Regions. Joining such an allied army, isn't it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Mei Yingchun, who lacks support and urgently needs foreign aid? But Mei Yingchun once again showed unexpected performance. Tieheer followed Mei Yingchun all the way with a shadow, and he still couldn't figure out his intentions.

Mei Yingchun set out on the itinerary two months in advance, but spent all her time on appreciating the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Central Plains. Occasionally, she was looking for some weird people who were divine and pretending to be a ghost. No matter how you look at it, he even gave all the divine bows bequeathed to him by his father to Tieheer and asked him to keep them for him, because it was too annoying and useless to carry the bow with him. Along the way, Tieheer almost believed that Mei Yingchun was indeed unambitioned and willing to live a mediocre life. But suddenly, the situation changed tremendously outside Jincheng Pass on the bank of the Yellow River.

At first, Mei Yingchun just heard of Shen Tingfang's name, and once again became curious. According to the convention, she stayed in Jincheng Pass for a few more days to find this secluded strange man. Tieheer and his subordinates were idle all day long. They were really bored and were taken to an underground casino outside Jincheng Pass. They lost in a daze and almost lost all their money. When they saw Tieheer who was depressed and defeated from the casino like a devastated dog, Mei Yingchun realized that he had been waiting for a long time and finally appeared. Chi Duo Khan hated gambling extremely and strictly prohibited his subordinates from participating in gambling. Once they were discovered, they were in the most cruel punishment. Tieheer's behavior this time was equivalent to giving Mei Yingchun the most powerful handle, and from then on he would have to look at Mei Yingchun's face.

The right time and place always come together. Mei Yingchun happened to visit Shen Tingfang's exact address at this time, so he used the excuse of going to Shen Tingfang to borrow classics and stayed at Jincheng Pass. At the same time, he sent Tieheer and his men to the other side of the Yellow River without any ambiguity and asked them to wait there. Tieheer originally refused to leave Mei Yingchun, but now he had the handle of gambling in the hands of Mei Yingchun, and the subsequent itinerary had to be paid for Mei Yingchun, so he never dared to

As a result, he had to obediently lead his subordinates to cross the Yellow River first, and pass the time randomly in the Gaohe Post Station. He waited until the New Year, the eighth day of the first lunar month of the third year of the Shengli period, and waited for Mei Yingchun and his party from the other side. In order not to disturb Shen Jun, Mei Yingchun did not allow Tieheer to rush with them, and only let them follow them from afar. Tieheer never figured out where the two women who suddenly appeared came from, and did not dare to ask, so he was so depressed that he followed Luoyang.

Mei Yingchun also knew very well that Tieheer was so obedient because of helplessness. He must not take it lightly. Otherwise, if there is a mistake, Tieheer will definitely fight back. At this moment, this guy kept spying on his words and deeds and observing his words and deeds with malicious intentions, including when he went to Di Mansion to invite Chen Huai to the Di Mansion today, I am afraid that Tieheer's eyes could not escape Tieheer's eyes. Mei Yingchun sneered in his heart, just look at it if you want to see it, one day I will make you unable to see anything.

Mei Yingchun looked up at Tiehell who was still waiting by the door, who seemed to have some intentions, and said coldly: "What? Is there anything wrong? Let's leave if you have nothing to do." Tiehell tried his best to hide the resentment in his heart, bowed respectfully, and retreated out of the door. When he walked to the door, he stopped again, took out a piece of stacked paper from his arms, and held it in front of Mei Yingchun with both hands.

"What is this?" Mei Yingchun didn't go to pick it up, but just frowned and asked. "This..." Tieheermai took a step forward and pretended to be mysterious: "While my subordinates were waiting for the prince at Gaohe Station, they met a group of Han people. One of them... took the prince's divine bow." "What?!" Mei Yingchun's face suddenly changed and she shouted loudly: "No one can touch this divine bow, don't you know?" Tieheer nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes! Yes! My subordinates understood that it was just that the Han man was too agile. We, the group of people, didn't see clearly how the bow was in his hands. He also... pulled the bow open."

Mei Yingchun's eyes burst into light, staring Tieheer so hard that he didn't dare to show his breath. After a while, Mei Yingchun finally suppressed the aggravation in his chest and said in a calm tone: "Put it open and pull it away. I understand, you go." Tieheer sent the paper forward and delivered it: "Your Highness, this paper is written on the name of the Han man." Mei Yingchun took the paper and waved his hand in disgust. Tieheer hurriedly retreated.

Mei Yingchun was holding the paper tightly and hesitating when he heard someone outside the door calling: "Mr. Mei, can you sleep well?" Mei Yingchun heard that it was Chen Huai's voice, so she quickly put the paper in her arms and replied: "Is it General Chen? Isn't it? I haven't fallen asleep yet." She hurried to open the door.
