"I am a descendant of Genghis Khan, Tuogu Si Timur!"
Facing Han Du's disbelieving gaze, Togu Si Timur flicked the soil on his body slightly, avoiding the embarrassment of being forced to kneel on the ground and about to be strangled to death by a bowstring.
I?
Han Du and Tang Ding were stunned.
"Togus Timur! You, are you the fake...Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?" The city of Yitang Ding spoke when he heard this man calling himself the name of me and Togus Timur. Even his mouth was full.
Han Du couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He originally wanted to make a big profit and go back so that he could explain to Lao Zhu. But he didn't expect that he would accidentally capture Emperor Beiyuan alive.
"That's wrong!" Han Du suddenly frowned and stared at Togu Si Timur with suspicion.
"You said you were the Emperor of Beiyuan, so how could that man dare to kill you just now?"
Just kidding, the tribes on the grassland all respect the Golden Family. As long as this person is really the Emperor of Beiyuan, then the person just now would not dare to kill him at all. Even if that person wanted to take action, that person's subordinates would not agree. Not only would he stop anyone from attacking Emperor Beiyuan, he would even directly switch sides, stand by Emperor Beiyuan's side, and risk his life for him.
"That man is my general, Yesudiel, and he is a descendant of Brother Alibaba." Tuogu Si Timur explained.
I see!
Han Du and Tang Ding looked at each other and had a clear understanding in their hearts. Since this Yasudel is also a descendant of the Golden Family, his people will naturally not turn against him.
However, Han Du still had doubts: "You are the emperor, how can one of his subordinates dare to attack you?"
If this person is really the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, how can a subordinate of Yesudier dare to regicide? And how could he be held hostage here by Yesudier alone? Where is the Beiyuan cavalry under his command?
Togu Si Timur sighed slightly. When the bowstring was strangled around his neck just now, he really thought he was dead. After escaping from death, Togu Si Timur never wanted to taste the taste of death again.
This is why he did not struggle at all after falling into the hands of the Ming army, and he also revealed his identity immediately. He did all this to survive.
Now he just wants to continue living. As for the glory of the past and the dignity of the emperor... he completely lost it when he escaped from Yuyuerhai.
"Since my defeat at the Yu'er Sea..." Tuogu Si Timur felt that there was nothing to hide. Before that, he had ambitiously wanted Yesudiel to escort him all the way. Soldiers and horses, prepare for another battle with the Ming army to avenge Yuerhai.
After all, in the eyes of Togu Si Timur, his defeat in the Yuerhai battle was too humiliating, and he would not have the face to see anyone unless he regained his position.
But after he was almost killed by Yesudier and fell into the hands of the Ming army, Togu Si Timur suddenly realized that he had no hope of revenge in this life. And whether he can continue to live depends on how the Ming army plans to deal with him.
Therefore, he knew everything about the Ming army's questions.
"Wait!" Han Du waved his hand unceremoniously, interrupting Togu Si Timur's words.
"What did you say? You were defeated in Yuerhai? Who defeated you?"
Han Du's heart
He had already made some guesses, but guesses were just guesses after all, and he still wanted to confirm it from Togu Si Timur's mouth.
Tuogu Si Timur smiled flatteringly when he heard this. After a moment of embarrassment, he hesitated and said: "This... the wind and sand were too strong at first, and I didn't see it clearly. I only knew it was the Ming army. .”
Throwing the blame to the wind and sand is too big. It's all Togu Si Timur who is trying to gain face for himself. The actual situation is that he didn't even take a look at who the enemy was and just ran away.
Han Du and Tang Ding looked at each other, wondering whether it was Lan Yu or Fu Youde? However, judging from the location of Yuerhai, sapphire is the most likely.
Thinking of Lan Yu going deep into the grassland, defeating Bei Yuan in one fell swoop, and driving the Emperor of Bei Yuan away, both of them couldn't help but get excited and their blood boiled.
Lan Yu's battle was unprecedented in a thousand years, and his achievements were astonishing. With this battle alone, Lan Yu is enough to become the number one in the army.
"continue!"
The situation was stronger than the people. Even though he was the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he still had to ask and answer in front of Han Du and Han Du.
"In the battle at Yu'erhai, I was defeated so humiliatingly. As time went by, Yesudiel gradually began to rebel against me. Unfortunately, I never noticed... ..." Having said this, Togu Si Timur couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
I don't know whether he is feeling sorry for Beiyuan's great land, or whether he is worried about his unpredictable future.
"Just because you lost the battle at Yuerhai, Yesudiel has ambitions to kill you?" Han Du's eyes stared tightly at Togu Stimur's eyes, refusing to relax at all.
There was a hint of concealment in Tuugusi Timur's eyes, and he nodded calmly, sighing: "In the battle on Yuerhai, I was defeated so miserably. In Yesudiel's heart, I lost all my dignity and dignity. Without Cun, he will naturally no longer obey me sincerely."
On the grassland, the strong are respected.
This law of the jungle applies not only to ordinary Mongolian people, but also to Tuogu Si Timur, the Northern Yuan emperor.
In the past, Togu Si Timur had many soldiers, generals and strong strength. Naturally, no tribe dared to disobey him and had to obey his orders. But Tuogu Si Timur is not the only descendant of the Golden Family. Now that he is weak, Yesudiel, who also has the blood of the Golden Family, naturally dares to kill him.
This is not a rare thing on the grasslands. It is even common for fathers to kill their sons and sons to kill their fathers for the sake of power. From this point of view, there is no difference from the Central Plains Dynasty.
Listening to Togu Si Timur's very reasonable explanation, Han Du always felt that something was wrong.
"you are lying!"
Han Du suddenly raised his head and stared at Togu Si Timur with burning eyes.
"Why did you say that?" Togu Si Timur frowned angrily. He was also the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty after all. He was accused so unceremoniously by Han Du. He understood his situation and felt a little bit towards Han Du. Not fast.
"Now that I have fallen into your hands, I can kill or behead you as you please. Do I still need to deceive you?"
After saying that, Togu Si Timur suddenly waved his sleeves and robe angrily, raised his head and turned around, not wanting to see Han Du and others again.
He is the emperor of Beiyuan, although he wants to live
But as long as he can't survive, he also wants to keep the last bit of dignity as the emperor.
Tang Ding looked at Han Du suspiciously, indicating whether Han Du was overthinking it.
Han Du smiled coldly at Tang Ding, took two steps forward, turned around, and looked into Togu Si Timur's eyes with cold eyes.
"You said that Yesudiel wanted to kill you because he no longer obeyed you. But what benefit would doing this have to him? Apart from the reputation of being a regicide, I don't see how killing you would do anything to Yesudiel. Half a benefit.”
Facing Han Du's burning gaze, Togu Si Timur looked calm and unmoved. However, when his fingers were folded in his sleeves, he pinched them involuntarily.
"Since you don't believe what I said, what do you think the reason would be?" Togu Si Timur glanced at Han Du with disdain and sneered. He did not deny or admit it, but casually put the question back to Han Du.
Yesudiel's motive for killing him was naturally not as simple as Togus Timur said. However, Togu Si Timur was convinced that Han Du knew nothing, so he was so confident and fearless to question Han Du.
Han Du looked at Tuogu Si Timur for a moment, and suddenly he had an understanding, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Perhaps ordinary people would have become wary when they saw Han Du's expression change like this, thinking that Han Du had guessed what they were thinking.
But Togu Si Timur didn't pay attention to the change in Han Du's expression at all. He just looked into Han Du's eyes calmly, with a calm and fearless expression.
"Yesudiel will not kill you just because you have lost the battle. What good will it do to him? Even if he escorts you all the way back, he can get a lot of rewards from you, including official positions, gold and silver, tribes , land, soldiers and horses... everything is available. Faced with such a generous reward, why would he, Sudiel, take the risk of killing you?" Han Du had slowly come up with an idea in his mind, and he stared at Tuo Gusi carefully as he asked. Tamerlane hoped to detect something from his face in order to confirm his guess.
Tuogu Si Timur pondered after hearing the words, nodded in admiration of Han Du's statement, and sighed: "To be honest, as long as he escorts me back, I will give him these things without hesitation. Until now, I can’t even figure out why he would kill me.”
"Since you can't figure it out, why not let us think about it for you?" Han Du looked calm and had a signature smile on his face.
When Tang Ding saw Han Du's smile, he immediately laughed knowingly. He had seen Han Du's expression more than once, and every time it was beyond his expectation.
Tuogu Si Timur didn't know why, but Han Du's bright smile not only didn't make him feel the slightest warmth, but on the contrary, under the sun, it made him feel a chill that penetrated into his bones.
"I'd like to hear from you." Togu Si Timur smiled and nodded, and gave Han Du a slight flattering compliment.
Handu didn't care at all about Tuogusi Timur's high praise. He just followed his own train of thought and said: "Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the bustle in the world is for benefit. Yesudiel is also a human being. A person will seek good fortune and avoid harm, and will always choose the side that is most beneficial to him, don't you think?" Han Du stared into Togu Si Timur's eyes and said meaningfully.
When Togu Si Timur heard this, the smile on his face suddenly became stiff.
Sure enough, what he worried about most was about to happen.
