Toboke's five-short figure is also erect and the short whiskers on his chin seem to be standing up.

Everyone went north from the corridor, and the guards on both sides came with bows and signaled the guards of Tobok to stop.

The guards followed Toboke for many years. In the past two years, the guards were eliminated due to constant wars. The rest were strong men with both loyalty and courage. They carried bows and arrows, pressed swords, and looked hesitant on their faces.

"This is the Khan Palace." Tobok smiled and said, "There are no Han people here. If there are really police officers, it is the Han people who are coming in from outside!"

When everyone heard this, they put down their hands holding the sword and smiled.

The guards still had a look of nervousness on their faces. Toboke felt that the people from the Khan Palace had been in the Han power for a long time, so they were inevitably too suspicious. He cheered up in his heart and said to himself: "We should still welcome the Khan out and leave this tiger and wolf place. Even if we still have to surrender to Heyusheng, the Khan is not within their control, so the room for maneuvering is much larger!"

Entering several palace gates, the main hall is located in front of you.

At this time, Toboke strides, but suddenly he heard a whip. His face showed suspicion, and he didn't know who was whipping people in this Khan Palace.

After a few steps, I turned over the last palace gate. In front of it was the junction between the main hall and the main gate. Although the Mongols' palace imitated the Ming Dynasty buildings, it was built on the grassland. It was far different in terms of scale and size. The base of the main hall was not high. As soon as Toboke entered the door, he saw a person tied to the base of the main hall. The current King of Shunyi and the Great Khan Omubuhong were the ones who whipped the whip.

Toboke stepped forward a few steps before he saw that it was Taiji Ayushi being whipped. He said in shock: "Stay Khan, stay here. As Taiji, Ayushi, should have a noble character, how can he be whipped in public?"

Omubuhong wore a warm hat with a pointed top, with Dongzhu in the hat, wearing a green sling and long boots. The boy's round face seemed to have grown a little longer, and his short velvet beard turned black and hard, and he looked like a heroic young Mongolian nobleman. He looked at Toboke after hearing this and said, "The Ayushi tribe died of starvation, but he lived in Qingcheng with more than a hundred strong followers around him. He refused to return to the tribe to try to survive the cold winter for the herdsmen, but wasted manpower and material resources in Qingcheng. As a tribe's khan, I would not be angry if I didn't punish him."

When Toboke heard this, he was shocked. Some of the herdsmen of A Yushi and other tribes were all recruited by him and several Taiji to conduct military training. He did ignore the preparations for winter. It seemed that the Khan's summoning this time was related to this matter.

After all, Omubuhong was a big sweater, and there were enough reasons. Toboke couldn't persuade him anymore. He could only watch the young big sweat continue to whip A Yushi's body. A Yushi gritted his teeth and said nothing. He was only wearing a single dress, and his whip was mottled and broken, with obvious blood marks on his body, and his skin was already broken.

Omubuhong whipped ten more whips before throwing them to the ground, saying, "A Yushi Taiji, go down and apply medicine, and then go back to your tribe immediately. Before next summer, I don't want to see you in the Khan Palace."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Khan." A Yushi crawled on the ground and saluted, then stood up and retreated.

At this moment, Toboke had some illusion, feeling that the powerful sweaters were standing in front of him, rather than the weak sweat like Bu Shitu Khan.

But the Dahan in front of him was only a 17 or 18-year-old boy, and he had no inch of land. He had no direct manpower except the guards of the Khan Palace. In the past, Bu Shitu Khan also had twelve tribes directly under the jurisdiction of the twelve tribes and had their own direct power.

While Toboke was pondering, he saw Omubuhong glance at him, Toboke saluted and said, "Khan, I have also recruited the herdsmen of the Ayushi tribe to hunt, which delayed the disaster relief. He was guilty of serious crimes. Please punish him."

Omubuhong waved his hand and said, "He is the leader of a tribe. Of course, he has to be the master of his tribe. Just take care of your tribe."

After saying that, everyone entered the hall together. The fire was not cold. Then Omubuhong ordered people to hold a banquet. Everyone sat cross-legged and cut the boiled mutton with a knife to serve.

After the atmosphere in the hall was gentle, Omubuhong asked slowly to Tobok: "Taiji recruited manpower from various departments, saying it was to conduct hunting, but it was actually to train troops."

Toboke was chewing a piece of mutton, and his mouth was filled with tender lamb. Hearing this, he didn't know how to answer.

"Taiji is loyal and brave." Omubuhong looked at Tobok in a deep voice: "I am not willing to live in the long term. I will be independent sooner or later in the future. Taiji can connect with more people and accumulate strength slowly..."

Toboke was moved. The former Khan in front of him was not very prominent here. He was just an ordinary little yaki. Unexpectedly, after taking over Khan, he might have changed greatly under the pressure of the Han people. It seems that Tumote's luck is endless, and the Khan in front of him is really a wise gift.

He bowed down and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, Dahan, Toboke will definitely live up to the Khan's entrustedness. Within two or three years, the troops will be restored to the scale of tens of thousands of people. After Dahan got rid of Qingcheng, he raised his arms and shouted, and Bai Hong Dataiji responded, and 100,000 troops will be able to get it at any time..."

"Well, it's great." Omubuhong looked happy and poured a glass of wine for Toboke in his own pot, and said in his mouth: "Toboke, you have served the Khanate since my grandfather. You are so loyal... This is Yu Luchun hidden in the palace of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Zhang Han gave it to me. The Han people are not good. The wine is brewed well..."

"Our goat milk wine is really good..." Tobok replied casually, drinking the wine in his glass dry in one sip.

There seemed to be noise outside the hall, and Tobok listened with his ears, worried that his guards had clashed with the guards of the Khan Palace.

"Taiji eat more meat." Omubuhong's voice seemed to float in the distance, and it was light and could not be realized.

Toruk subconsciously took the knife, but accidentally cut his hand, and blood flowed out, sprinkling the gold brick floor in the hall.

"Khan..." Toruk woke up and stared at Omubuhong with his eyes, and several Taiji not far away. Their figures were like ghosts, and they could not see clearly.

"Why... I am loyal to the Khan..." After Toruk finished speaking, he seemed to use all his strength to lie on the ground, and slowly rolled over.

Omubuhong waited for a while, turned to Zhuo Soktutaiji and said, "The weeds we are looking for are indeed very toxic. Be careful to keep in the palace and not be taken out at will."

Several Taiji bowed and responded. Omubuhong squatted beside Toruk again, looked at the dead man's expression, and said lightly: "At this time, your loyalty can only cause trouble for us. What is the purpose of this loyalty? I don't understand the overall situation and don't know the general situation. Fortunately, there are not many Taiji like you. If there are any, it will be the same dish today."

"Zhuosoktu Taiji?" Omubuhong turned around again, waved his hand and ordered: "You will go in person, ask to see Lord Zhang, and quietly tell you about this today. Tell Lord Zhang that I will cooperate with the Military Department to restrain our Taiji people to save themselves as much as possible and reduce the burden on the Military Department."

Zhuo Soktu pursed his chapped lips, and he didn't know what he had answered.

...

The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month of the fifth year of the Tianqi period is the day to worship the Kitchen God.

Zhang Han rode half-closed his eyes and rushed back from the tribe nearly a hundred miles away in the northwest direction, but he almost stopped all the way, which was really exhausted.

The city gate has not been opened yet. Yesterday, a team of Mongolians rushed out of Qingcheng to greet him and reported some latest news, some news that made Zhang Han feel relieved and surprised.

The sky is high and the air is cool and the cold is imminent. Frost is hanging on the grass near and far away. The remaining snow is not over and fresh snow is coming. The cold winter of this year is really imminent.

Behind him, Jiang Yi and others, more than 140 people were wearing armor and pressing their swords, sitting on the horse with their backs straight, forming a fan to protect Zhang Han firmly. Except for the straddle, the horse was accidentally sniffed and swaying the horse's tail, there was no sound at all, and the golden sword was exuded.

These special guards are all combatants who have been transferred from various departments recently to rotate. The murderous aura on their bodies is very obvious and distinct.

More than ten Mongolians including Zhuo Soktu were separated from each other. They felt the murderous aura on their guards, and they were all shrank their necks and as far away as possible from these guards.

The city gate finally slowly opened with the creaking sound.

A squadron of armored infantry slowly lined up in a straight stance.

The big red army cap, gray military robe, two rows of glittering copper buckles, long black military boots, neatly arranged movements, and the vibration when stepping on the ground shocked everyone outside the city. Even if I had seen it thousands of times, this unique masculinity of soldiers still shocked and appreciated everyone.

All soldiers carried muskets on their shoulders, and there were simple fortifications outside the city. The soldiers were divided into several rows and stood in their own security posts.

Every time there is a squadron, each squadron is on duty for two hours. Of course, it is a chore in this kind of weather, but looking at these young men holding their heads up, they don’t seem to think it’s hard.

There are also whistles everywhere on the city wall. From what we see, any surprise attack will not have any effect.

The squadron leader who led the team obviously saw Zhang Han, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over to salute.

"No wonder Li Zhengshi and Sun Zhengshi are all at the gate of the city," the squadron leader saluted and said with a smile: "It turns out that the lord is back to the city."

Zhang Han solemnly returned the military salute and said with a smile: "Thank you all for your hard work."

The squadron leader smiled and retreated. Of course, he would not ask Zhang Han why he didn't call the city gate early, which was not in line with the thinking style and logic of the Shang Group Army.

More people gradually emerged at the gate of the city. It was indeed Li Shenming, Sun Jingting, Kong Minxue and others, and a half-mature old acquaintance, Sun Yuanhua was also among them.

Sun Yuanhua also looked at Zhang Han and saw that Zhang Han was wearing a cocoon-colored robe, without armor, and a gray cloak, and a belt decorated with a large piece of green jade tied around his waist. Zhang Han's official position was also qualified to tie the jade belt, but the belt was very compact, completely different from the officials' loose jade belt. Zhang Han was tall and neither fat nor thin, and was considered a heroic and steep and handsome, with extraordinary appearance. He was just tied with a military standard straight knife around his waist, which made people feel the unfair atmosphere of a sage-like martial artist. This feeling of being both civil and military is even more heartbreaking.
