The two of them rode to the lake with one horse.
Many Di women were fetching water from the lake. The morning light was shining on the lake, and there was still some white mist that had not completely dissipated.
After letting the horse go to graze, Urhan accompanied his Yanshi for a slow walk along the lake shore. From time to time, people saluted him. Their faces did not show fear when facing the superior, only pure enthusiasm.
After sending away another tribesman, Urhan looked at Jiang Rui. She was staring at the lake, and a falcon flew across the lake. It hooked a big fish with its sharp claws, flapped its powerful wings twice, and flew quickly into the sky.
“Do you want to raise one?” Urhan looked toward the sky following her gaze.
Jiang Rui turned back to look at him.
Urhan curled his lips and continued: “There are people in the tribe who know how to train eagles. If you want one, I will grab a stronger one for you.”
“No need. Thank you King Khan for your kindness.” Jiang Rui shook her head slightly, and the drop-shaped ruby hanging between her forehead swayed, reflecting the bright light on her fair forehead.
Urhan found that no matter what she did, she was so charming that people couldn’t take their eyes away. Her indifference and rejection not only did not damage her charm at all, but it made people want to chase her even more.
He was about to say something more when he suddenly felt something rolling under his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a ball made of rattan. With a twist of his toes, the ball flew up and landed in his hand.
“The Great Khan, it’s ours!” Several children were panting and chasing after him.
When they saw the newcomer Yanshi next to the Great Khan, they immediately stopped. The monkey-like urchins immediately began to behave politely, one pushed the other and squeezed each other.
Urhan held the ball and bounced it. Looking at these children who were sweating profusely even while playing in the spring morning, he said, “No classes today?”
Several children looked at each other. A little boy with eyes like black grapes took a step forward and glanced at Jiang Rui, but then he quickly slipped back and then said: “Bakshi said that the Great Khan is going to marry Yanshi, so he gave us three days’ leave.”
“I think he wants to be lazy.” Urhan snorted and threw the ball back.
“Thank you, the Great Khan!” The child ran away after getting the ball. He looked back while running.
He was so absorbed in watching that he tripped and rolled on the ground. The other children laughed. His face flushed, and he got up immediately without complaining about the pain. He dusted himself off twice and continued running. He didn’t dare to look back now.
A smile appeared on Jiang Rui’s lips. She remembered that this kid was the one from yesterday.
Urhan stared at the smile on her face. From the first time he saw her, he had never seen his Yanshi smile before. Unexpectedly, the first time she smiled was because of those boys.
“What’s the name of this child?” Jiang Rui asked as the two of them continued to walk along the lake.
“Hassen.”
“Is he Aruna’s brother?” she asked again.
Urhan raised his eyebrows slightly, “Yes, Yanshi knows about them?”
Jiang Rui said: “Their siblings look a bit alike.”
Urhan agreed: “They are all like Aguda, not like Wu Lan.”
It was rare that his Yanshi was willing to talk to him for a few more words. Urhan raised his eyes and looked around, pointing toward the tent area, “Look, the one who is repairing the tent is Aguda.”
Jiang Rui looked over and saw a man squatting on the top of a round tent not far away. She had good eyesight and saw that the man’s face was full of beard, so she silently looked away.
Children with round heads, round eyes, and fluffy hair are very cute, but adults with fluffy beards are only rough. (T/N: Haha… Are you referring to someone?)
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but glance at Urhan.
His beard was not long, with a short layer close to the skin. Coupled with his deep facial features and dark skin color, he looked like a man with wild charm.
The premise of this charm was that he would not rub her with his beard.
But thinking about the previous habits, Jiang Rui was not optimistic at all.
After walking for a while, the sun rose higher and higher. She was about to go back, so Urhan led the horse and walked beside her.
When entering the tent area, someone walked toward him. Jiang Rui could feel his gaze scraping across her and Urhan’s bodies like a razor before he leaned down and saluted.
He seemed so reluctant and seemed to be dissatisfied with Urhan, could it be—
“Ogle.” Urhan called out the other party’s name.
Jiang Rui remembered that he was the eldest son of the former King Khan and the second warrior of the Di tribe whose strength was said by Aruna to be watered down.
