Urhan had already visited the summer pasture before and left some tribesmen to guard the field. But just one day before the Di people in the Royal Court were about to leave the Royal Court, the guards on the field came back covered in blood to report that the Rong people attacked the summer field and killed their people!
All the cheerful atmosphere solidified instantly as the news arrived. Sad, angry, and raging fighting spirit filled the chest of every Di tribesman.
Urhan’s face was as dark as water. He returned to the king’s tent without saying a word. He was taking his bow, arrows, dagger, and scimitar. After seeing his actions, the other Di tribe warriors also returned to the tent and brought their own weapons.
They remained silent, neither saying their pre-war heroics rhetoric nor saying goodbye to their families. They suppressed all their emotions to the extreme. Just waiting for the moment they see the enemy to break out, avenge the dead tribesmen, and regain the territory and glory that belonged to them.
In the next few days, a heavy atmosphere hung over the Royal Court. The children still came to learn from Jiang Rui how to grow crops, but there were no smiles on their faces.
Qiuhua arranged Jiang Rui’s hair into a bun, looked at the perfect face in the mirror, frowned, and said worriedly: “Princess, do you think the Great Khan can win?”
“I believe he can.” Jiang Rui said calmly.
“I hope so.” Qiuhua sighed and said to herself, “Why do we have to fight?”
Jiang Rui didn’t say anything, but she took off the golden hairpin on her head and replaced it with a plain jade hairpin.
If it is due to other issues, it will still be possible to sit down and negotiate, but when it comes to survival, you have to fight to the death.
This land cannot feed everyone. If you want to survive, you must step on the bones of others. This is the law of survival in the grassland, and it is the wolf instinct in the survivors’ bones.
Two days later, when Jiang Rui was about to fall asleep at night, she suddenly heard cheers coming from outside the big tent. She put on her robe and walked out. As expected, it was the warriors of the Di tribe who made a triumphant return.
Although everyone was injured and their faces were splattered with blood, unlike the depressing solemnity they felt when they left, the dark blood stains highlighted their bright and sharp eyes like beasts. They were like murder weapons that had drunk enough blood and still carried the ferocious aura of war and killing.
She immediately saw Urhan who was in the lead, and he also happened to look over. The two of them looked at each other. Jiang Rui nodded slightly and returned to the big tent.
After a while, Urhan came in after explaining what happened outside. The smell of blood on his body was particularly strong, and the original color of his clothes could no longer be seen. It was unclear whether it was other people’s blood or his own.
“Are you injured?” Jiang Rui asked.
“It’s a small injury, don’t worry.” Urhan said indifferently.
In fact, the small wound in his mouth was cut from his chest to his waist and abdomen, and the skin of the wound was rolled outward. Because he rode back so fast and his movements were rough, there was still blood seeping out, like a big bloody mouth, which was very scary.
Qiuhua came in with two young chamberlains carrying water. When they saw the wounds on his body, the three of them turned pale at the same time and almost spilled the hot water.
Jiang Rui approached and took a closer look. There were brown grass stains around the wound, which looked like herbs to stop bleeding, but the effect was obviously not good.
Urhan was worried about frightening her, and he was about to wrap it up casually, but he was looked at by Yanshi’s frown and stopped his movement.
Jiang Rui stood up, gave Qiuhua a few words, then looked at Urhan, and said, “Although the wound is not serious, if it is not treated in time, it is very likely that the pus will turn into inflammation, and it will become serious by then.”
Urhan was about to say that he had mixed the hemostatic grass, but when he saw Yanshi’s face, he swallowed his words.
Qiuhua quickly presented the items she needed. Jiang Rui first cleaned Urhan’s wound, poured a layer of golden sore medicine on it, and then wrapped his entire upper body with a long piece of gauze.
Although Urhan was very happy that Yanshi cared about him, such a complicated process was a bit fussy. When he was about to speak, he saw her taking out another golden needle and gesturing in front of him, saying: “If the wound opens again, I can only use a needle to sew it up for you.”
Urhan consciously swallowed the words again.
He felt that there were some restless emotions hidden under the calm expression of Yanshi tonight. Although he didn’t know what it was, his instinct told him that it was best to be obedient at this time.
Of course, this did not mean that he was afraid of Yanshi, but that he was an excellent male wolf, so he must be generous and tolerant of his partner’s emotions.
Don’t make her angry.
