"Proprietor, Ombuhong and Harbala are here." Zhao Wu walked in from outside the house.
Li Shuheng looked away from Zhao Wu and said: "The Mongols move very quickly. Boss, as soon as you arrived with your front foot, they came to the door with their back foot."
"Has the office been packed up?" Liu Heng asked Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu said: "It's ready. The two maps of the grassland have been hung on the back wall."
"Bring them to the office and I'll meet them there." Liu Heng ordered Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu retreated from the house.
"Follow me to meet them." Liu Heng called to Li Shuheng who was beside him, stood up and walked out.
Li Shuheng also stood up from the round stool and followed Liu Heng to the office next to him.
The furniture in the office room had been fully equipped before Liu Heng arrived. When Zhao Wu cleaned up the office room, he only put away some official documents and account books, hung maps on the walls, and put away some things brought from Xinpingbao.
Liu Heng walked around the side of the table and sat on the Taishi chair behind the table.
There are several seats in front of the table.
Li Shuheng walked to the seat closer to Liu Heng and sat down.
The guards in the room gave each of them a bowl of tea.
Not long after, Ombuhong and Harbala were brought to the office by Zhao Wu.
"I have met the respected Dongzhu Liu of Tiger Flag."
Ombuhong and Harbala put their hands on their chests and saluted Liu Heng.
Liu Heng put his hands on the table, smiled and said to the two people: "The Great Khan is too polite, Zhao Wu, please take a seat with the Great Khan and Harbalataji."
The last sentence he said was directed at Zhao Wu.
There was no shortage of seats in the room, so Zhao Wu moved the two people to the seats aside, then retreated to stand next to Liu Heng.
After Omubuhong and Harbala sat down, Liu Heng looked at them and said: "Before I congratulate the Great Khan on becoming His Royal Highness the King of Shunyi of our dynasty, I first congratulate His Highness. In our dynasty, only the clan has I’m qualified to be crowned king, and a white guy like me would never have a chance to climb high.”
"Don't dare." Ermubuhong stood up with a look of fear. "In front of Liu Dongzhu, I am just a junior. Liu Dong mainly doesn't like him. Now I will send people to chase the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty court." Come back and tell them that I am no longer the king of Shunyi."
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Liu Heng.
Liu Heng smiled and waved his hands and said: "Your Highness, don't be nervous. I have no objection to Your Highness being granted the title of King Shunyi. Stop standing and sit down!"
Omubuhong looked at Liu Heng's face for a few more years, and when he saw that he was really not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his seat.
"As soon as the Great Khan heard that Dongzhu Liu had arrived in Qingcheng, he immediately rushed over from the Khan Palace to greet Dongzhu Liu. On the way there, he told me that he hoped Dongzhu Liu could stay in Qingcheng for a longer period of time so that he could have time to get closer to him." Halba said Liu Heng, who was trying to please.
Liu Heng smiled and said: "I won't leave when I return to Qingcheng this time. I will have plenty of time to get close to each other in the future. If Your Highness and several Tai Ji need anything, you can also tell me. If it can be satisfied, it will be satisfied."
"Dongzhu Liu will live in Qingcheng from now on!" Harbala opened his mouth, but there was no happiness on his face.
Ombuhong, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but ask: "Has Dongzhu Liu given up on the Tiger Character Flag, which has such a huge foundation in the Ming Dynasty?"
Liu Heng said with a smile: "Many things in Tiger Character Banner no longer require my personal intervention as the proprietor. The people below are enough to handle things well. It is of little use for me, the proprietor, to continue to stay in the Ming Kingdom. On the contrary, here, Need me more.”
"Winter will become difficult on the grassland, and winter here comes earlier than in the Ming Dynasty. Especially if it catches up with the White Disaster, not only the cattle and sheep will freeze to death, but even the herdsmen living on the grassland may not survive it. Now Winter is about to come, and if Dongzhu Liu comes to Qingcheng at this time, he is afraid that he will suffer in the winter. In fact, he can come to Qingcheng again next year when the weather gets warmer," Harbala said.
Liu Heng looked at Harbala and said with a smile: "It seems that Taiji doesn't welcome me to Qingcheng at this time!"
"No, no, absolutely not." Halbala waved his hands repeatedly, and then added, "I'm just worried that Dongzhu Liu won't adapt to the winter in the grassland."
Liu Heng smiled and said: "Taiji, don't worry that I won't adapt. When I was in Liaodong, the winter there was not much warmer than here in Qingcheng, and my Tiger Flag soldiers can stay on the grassland to spend the winter." , naturally I, the proprietor, can’t be too special.”
"It seems that I was worrying too much. I didn't know that Dongzhu Liu had already made preparations." Harbala said coquettishly.
He emphasized that the winter on the grassland was cold, not because he was afraid that Liu Heng would be frozen, but because he did not want Liu Heng, the proprietor of the Tiger Flag, to stay on the grassland.
A shopkeeper Li on the grassland has already made it difficult for the Mongols to deal with it. If Liu Heng, the proprietor of the Tiger Flag, comes again, their hope of regaining control over the Tumote tribe will be even slimmer.
Liu Heng looked at Omubuhong and said in a warm tone: "His Highness has not spoken for so long. Could it be that there is something you want to say?"
"No, no, I came here just to greet Dongzhu Liu." Ombuhong explained hurriedly.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "As early as when your father Khan was still there, the Tiger Character Banner had close contact with the Tumote tribe. You were still young at that time and may not know much. Harbarataji should know this." .”
As he spoke, he looked at Halbala.
"Yes, the Tiger Character Banner brought the Ming Dynasty goods such as grain, tea, and iron pots that the herdsmen lacked to the Tumut tribe, as well as things like iron pots." Harbala nodded at the side.
Ombuhong said: "My father Khan always said that because of the tiger flag, the herdsmen's life has been much easier."
"Because of this relationship, I, the proprietor, have always taken care of Your Highness as my nephew, so if Your Highness has anything to say, you can mention it, and I, as an elder, will not ignore it." Liu Heng said with a smile.
At this time, Harbala pushed Omubuhong with his hand.
Ombuhong was stunned and looked at Halbala in confusion, wondering why he pushed him.
Seeing this, Harbala had no choice but to say: "Great Khan, why are you still dazed? Quickly salute Dongzhu Liu, he will be your Abba from now on."
"Abba!" Ombuhong raised his head and looked at Liu Heng behind the table.
He saw Liu Heng smiling and nodding towards him.
"Hurry up and salute!" Harbala pushed Ombuhong again.
At this time, Omubuhong realized what he was doing, stood up hurriedly, bowed respectfully to Liu Heng, and said at the same time: "Omubuhong has seen Abba!"
"Okay, we are all family members. We don't need so many etiquettes. From now on, you can just call me uncle. This is what the Han people call your Mongolian Abaga." Liu Heng smiled and recognized Ombuhong as his nephew.
