Chapter 509 The Missing Royal Family
Chapter 509: The Missing Royal Family
Hasqiqige said, "After I was beaten, I asked my dad, but he always didn't tell me, so I was even more angry with him and ignored him for three consecutive days. Later, my mom told me that my dad was afraid that I would learn Chinese, communicate with the Han people, and then ran away with them. He also said that the Han people were the best at lying people, especially those who deceived Mongolian women. Most of the people who used to do business with us were Han people, and the women in us followed them several times, so when we did business with the Han people, women were not allowed to follow us, and we tried not to choose Han businessmen."
Zhang Haotian heard from Bakyare that the people here followed the four royal families, and they were only over forty years. Some of them were older. Of course, they knew what the outside world was like. Although the cities in Mongolia were not prosperous, they were undoubtedly attractive to people who liked urban life than the nomadic life on the grassland. In fact, many people who went to Mongolia to do business like Chaolu were Inner Mongolians, and they were compatriots, so it was easy to communicate with them. The so-called women inside ran away with the Han people, and most of them regarded Inner Mongolians as Han people.
Although this is a forbidden area, it is not isolated from the world. However, from the words of Hasqiqige, the royal family does not want their own people to contact the outside world. Zhang Haotian said again: "I heard that you have four royal families here, Shuchi, the eldest son of Genghis Khan, the second son Chagatai, the third son Ogedei, and the fourth son Tolei, Hasqiqige, I heard Bayar say that you are from the Boyan tribe, and the prince is called Aldun Leng. Whose descendants are he? Is he evil to you?"
Unexpectedly, when he heard Zhang Haotian's words, Has Qiqige was stunned and said, "What, does the Holy Ancestor have four sons? Why do I only know three? My father said this, Bayar said this, everyone said this, who else is there?"
Hearing this, Zhang Haotian was also surprised and hurriedly said, "Then tell me, who are the three sons of the Holy Ancestor?"
Hasqiqige said, "The first three you mentioned are: the eldest son Shuchi, the second son Chagatai, the third son Ogedei, our Prince Aldon-Lang is the descendant of Ogedei. I have never heard of the fourth son you mentioned."
At this time, Zhang Haotian was shocked. Tolei was once written by Jin Yong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and he had a fictional hero Guo Jing since childhood. As the novel spread to the Chinese world at home and abroad, even Chinese people who were not familiar with Mongolian history knew that Genghis Khan had a son named Tolei. Among the sons of Tolei, Mongke and Kublai Khan became the great khan one after another. Kublai Khan even founded the Yuan Dynasty and became the Yuan ancestor of Mongolia who entered the Central Plains. Such a character could not be mentioned in Mongolia and among the royal people. It can be said that it is a shocking and incomprehensible thing.
So he said, "Have you never heard of Mongke Khan and Kublai Khan?"
Has Qiqige shook his head blankly and said, "No."
Zhang Haotian said: "Then what is the history of the Mongolian people you heard about?"
Hasqiqige said: "I heard that the Saint Khan has three sons. The eldest son Shuchi is not the biological son of the Saint Khan. He was born by the wife of the Saint Khan, his enemy, Meerqi tribe. Therefore, the Saint Khan named his name "Shuchi" in our Mongolian language. The Saint Khan gave him a fiefdom, called the Shuchi Khan Kingdom, the second son was Chagatai, and the Saint Khan also gave him a fiefdom, called the Chagatai Khan Kingdom, and the third son was Ogedei. He was the favorite youngest son of the Saint Khan. Except for the other two Khanates, he handed over all the land and people of Mongolia at that time to him. He was the second Mongolian Khan after the Saint Khan. Our family followed the heir of the Ogedei Khan until now."
Zhang Haotian looked at her and said, "Has Qiqige, you can really be sure that the Saint Ancestor Khan has nothing else except these three sons. Ogedei is the youngest son of the Saint Ancestor Khan?"
Hasqiqige nodded vigorously and said, "Of course, it is certain that this is what we say in our songs and stories. Ogedei Khan is of course the youngest son of the Saint Khan. We Mongolians have always inherited the family business by our youngest son. Otherwise, how could the Saint Khan make him the second Khan? Even now, Prince Dariachi and Prince Surile have to listen to Prince Aldon Leng."
Zhang Haotian immediately said: "Are Prince Dariachi and Prince Surile the heirs of Shuchi Khan and Chagatai Khan?"
Hasqiqige nodded again and said, "Yes, by the way, you said that the Holy Ancestor Khan has four sons. What's going on? I think you must have heard it wrong."
Zhang Haotian was speechless. He knew some of the history of the Yuan Dynasty and drove to the Shengling Forbidden Zone with Zhou Xueman. He also talked a lot along the way. What the little girl in front of him must be incomplete. Genghis Khan enfeoffed the four major khanates, not the three major khanates, also known as "Wulus", which means the fief of the Great Mongolian.
Among the four major "Ulus", the Khanate of the eldest son Shuchi was also called the Golden Horde or Shuchi Wulus. Its main jurisdiction was the area that started from the Ertise River in the east, to the Danube River in the west, and to the Caucasus Mountains in the south. Later, the second son of Shuchi, Badu, conquered tribes such as the Volga River basin west of the Ural River, and conquered Uros, and forced Uros to claim tribute. The Shihe River, which started from Yeer in the east, went to Uros in the west, and started from the Balkash Lake, Caspian Sea, and Hei.
The sea, from the north to the vast and vast Khtar Khanate near the Arctic Circle, enjoys sovereignty over the Eastern European Principality, including the Principality of Ross, which is today Russia. The fiefdom of the second son Chagatai was mainly in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, including Kashgar and Turpan, which ruled the Hezhong area. Today, Xinjiang and most of the surrounding areas are also under the rule of the Chagatai Khanate. The Khanate of the third son Ogedei is only the upper reaches of the Erttis River and east of the Balkash Lake, and the area is the smallest.
As Hasqiqige said, Mongolia has always had the tradition of "small son keeping the childbirth". Genghis Khan finally handed over the most fertile Mongolian grasslands and the Central Plains to his fourth son Tolei. Now, in her mouth, it actually belongs to Ogedei. There is definitely a big problem here.
Suddenly, Zhang Haotian thought of the blood-stained White Wolf King on his body and vaguely felt that his life experience might be related to the Tolei, which the little girl didn't know. In the library, Baccarel said it very clearly that the four royal families entered the sacred area more than 40 years ago, namely three tribes. Now it has become only three tribes. Behind the problem, there seems to be endless blood flowing.
When Zhang Haotian heard Has Qiqige ask about his Thunder, he thought about it, afraid that she would tell others after telling her, which would cause trouble for him. At this time, he had already become alert. Thinking of Bayar's strange expression just now, he suddenly regretted showing him the tattoo. Has Qiqige, who is only in his teens, doesn't know about the four royal families, but Bayar, who is over 60 years old, has absolutely no idea.
So he said, "Genghis Khan has four sons, and I also heard others talk nonsense. Everyone often says that, just like you know, he only has three sons, and his favorite is his younger son."
Hasqiqige nodded and said, "I'll just say that the Holy Ancestor Khan is the pride of us Mongolians. Do we not know how many sons he has? It must be a story that you Han people cheated. My dad said it well, and the Han people cannot believe the words."
Zhang Haotian already understood that some people deliberately concealed history, so naturally they also wanted to isolate the communication between the people inside and the outside world, so that young generations like Has Qiqige are afraid of interacting with the outside world and not believing in other people's words is the purpose of these people.
The White Wolf King tattooed with a royal bloodline, but the White Wolf King is stained with blood. The Tolei and his team quietly disappeared in the forbidden area of the Shengling Mountains. More and more clues are making his life experience surface, but everything cannot be finalized.
When he asked about other things about Has Qiqige, Has Qiqige frowned, widened his eyes, and looked at him with his chin, "We are so boring here, it's not interesting to say, let's talk about the latest things outside you. By the way, when I slipped out last time, I saw people in the city using something, but there was no wire connection, but when I talked to it, I could hear it from a distance, as if it was called a mobile phone. Do you have it? Can you lend me some fun?"
After passing Otegang, the phone had no signal. Although Zhang Haotian put it in a cloth bag, he threw away all useless things when he set out in the battle with the wolf pack. He knew that this place was like North Korea reported in the news, a black hole of information and could not use modern communication. Moreover, the rulers inside would not allow it. People from the outside world were learning and civilization was progressing. Here, it was obvious that they wanted to go backwards and let people live a primitive nomadic life that was being eliminated by the outside world.
So he smiled and said, "That's called a mobile phone. As long as you unlock the other party's number, you can talk to each other for thousands or thousands of miles. However, you need to build a signal receiving rack, which is not available here. And I have lost it on the road. Has Qiqige, you are still young now. When you grow up and have the opportunity to go out, you will know that there are more novel and fun things in the outside world."
Hasqiqige showed disappointment and shook his head, "Someone in our tribe ran out, and they never came back. Prince Aldun Leng was very angry. Just a few years ago, he gave an order. If anyone dared to run outside privately, his parents, brothers and children would be beheaded. If the whole family ran, he would send someone to chase him back, tied him to the tree to peel off the skin layer by layer, and finally threw the bones in the wild to feed the wolf. Last year, a young man named Alaifu in our tribe ran out, but his parents were both chopped off by the father's orders. Three months later, Alaifu was also caught and tied to the tree by the lake, and people were peeled off one by one. Although I dare not go and see, Alaifu screamed for a day and one night. Now when I think about it, I will have nightmares."
Speaking of this, she said again: "You are lucky. When you meet my dad, although he looks fierce on the outside, there are eighteen tribes in our Boyan tribe. Even if he is the best to speak, when he meets other tribe leaders, he will probably say that you are evil demons from outside and then execute you."
Zhang Haotian also felt that although her father Su He had a stern face, he had saved Zhou Xueman and agreed to send someone to send them out, which was considered friendly. He nodded and said, "How many people are there in your Boyan tribe?"
Hasqiqige shook his head and said, "I don't know this, but there are 231 people in our Lanya tribe and the little Bagen born yesterday. Abba said that the largest tribe of the Boyan tribe is the Tade tribe who lives in Amur Castle, five times more people than our tribe."
Since the largest tribe of the Boyan tribe is only more than a thousand people, Zhang Haotian roughly calculated that the entire eighteen tribes combined are only about ten thousand people, and they are not even comparable to many villages in China. However, there are not many people in Mongolia, and there were naturally very few people who followed the four major royal tribes into the forbidden area of the Holy Mausoleum. This population of more than 10,000 was obtained after more than 40 years of development. Hasqiqige said that Aldun, the prince of the Boyan tribe, was a descendant of Ogedei and the most authoritative person here. So the other two tribes must have a small number of people.
Thinking of the missing tribe of Tolei's descendants, Zhang Haotian guessed, and suddenly felt a palpitation, with an indescribable sense of sadness.
Seeing that Zhang Haotian didn't say much about the new things outside, Has Qiqige also felt bored and said, "Zhang Haotian, it's too late now. My mother is going to find me. I'll come to play with you tomorrow. But you have to tell me more about the things in the city. In exchange, will I teach you how to ride a horse?"
Zhang Haotian nodded, and Hasqiqige walked out of the yurt. He was thinking about Zhou Xueman and walked out. The yurt that Zhou Xueman was carried into was only about fifty meters away from here.
After walking through two yurts, he arrived at the place where Zhou Xueman was carried in. When he lifted the curtain and used the oil lamp, he saw a man lying on a carpet inside, covered with a blanket and his long hair hanging from the outside of the blanket. It was Zhou Xueman.
When I walked to Zhou Xueman, I saw her sleeping quietly lying on her face, with a clean face and obviously having taken a shower.
Zhang Haotian sat on the carpet, silently looking at Zhou Xueman, who was as beautiful as a water lily, and the scene of the mud pit clearly appeared in his mind. At that moment, he had two unexpected thoughts, but Zhou Xueman would say something that he loved him, and even more unexpectedly, she would jump out of the mud pit and live and die with him at the last moment. In the past, he loved her deeply. After such a thing, he really felt that he didn't know how to love her more.
As he looked at it, his feelings were thrilling, and he couldn't control himself for a moment. He slowly bent down and gently kissed Zhou Xueman Xueyan's cheek.
However, although Zhang Haotian's movements were very light, Zhou Xueman did not sleep too much. He still felt it. He opened his eyes suddenly and showed a look of horror. However, when he saw it was him, his face suddenly calmed down. He supported himself slightly and wanted to sit up, saying, "Haotian, how long have you been here?"
When Zhang Haotian saw a cushion next to her, he picked it up and placed it behind her neck. He felt cold at night, so he covered her blanket tightly and said, "It's not long time, Sherman, are you getting better? Have you eaten?"
Zhou Xueman leaned against her body and nodded, "A doctor has come to see me. A Mongolian sister-in-law fed me medicine and cooked goat milk porridge for me. I feel better now and it will be better in two days."
Zhang Haotian knew that high fever caused by irregular heat and heat should be a common disease in the grassland. Mongolian doctors will definitely have special treatment methods after thousands of years of practice. He said "Hmm" and then said, "I hope you are faster, we should leave here early."
When Zhou Xueman saw his face wrong, she hurriedly said, "Haotian, have you discovered something wrong?"
Zhang Haotian nodded and said, "It's not that something is wrong, but something is very wrong."
After saying this, he said the conversation with Has Qiqige in full.
Zhou Xueman's face became more and more serious as he listened to his words. It was not until he finished speaking that he thought for a while before saying, "It is indeed very wrong. The Tolei clan is the longest-dominant family in Mongolia. It is absolutely impossible for him to disappear for no reason. The four royal clans cannot become the three royal clans for no reason. There must be something unimaginable here, and the blood-stained white wolf king on your body..."
Having said this, she did not continue and looked at Zhang Haotian. She knew in her heart that this matter was likely to be related to his life experience.
Zhou Xueman followed and said, "We can't stay here for a long time, but we can only trace your life experience through them. This way, Haotian, tomorrow you will talk to Bayar to see if you can find a way to take out something from his mouth. He must know the reason for this matter. I also asked the Mongolian sister-in-law who took care of me. If it doesn't work, go to another place to ask. But this time, you must prepare dry food and blankets, and then find someone to find a good direction."
Zhang Haotian nodded, not wanting to mention this matter again, but stared at him and said, "Sheman, thank you for telling you how you feel about me, and thank you for being with me..."
However, before he could spit out the word "death", Zhou Xueman kept shook his head and said, "Don't say it, Haotian, please don't say it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haotian couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Don't say it anymore? Why?"
Zhou Xueman no longer faced his gaze, but lowered his head slightly and whispered: "Those words are all I have been saying impulsively. I jumped down to accompany you. I didn't have the confidence to walk out of the grassland. I feel that it's better to die with you than to die alone. There is no other meaning. Don't think about it, we... we are still the same as in the past, and don't make any changes."
Of course, Zhang Haotian would not believe what she said now, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Why, Sherman, why, you obviously... you obviously like me, why would you refuse me? Since you are willing to die with me, why don't you live with me forever?"
Zhou Xueman listened to his questioning, but kept hanging his head and not speaking.
Seeing Zhou Xueman's appearance, Zhang Haotian could understand a little more. He stretched out his arms and held her palm and said, "Is it because I have Sister Yumei and the others that do you think I am not a dedicated and reliable man?"
Zhou Xueman raised her head and looked at him and said, "It's because I'm not used to facing a man younger than me. That would put too much pressure on me. No matter what, we are still good friends. By the way, the Alan you said to me when you were trapped in a mud pit, is it Ye Binglan?"
Zhang Haotian knew that she knew her own affairs very well and did not want to hide anything, so he nodded.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xueman did not show any surprise on her face, but said, "I have been reading your information very carefully. As Ye Binglan, I am a woman, and of course I can guess why. Haotian, you are a man with a lot of heart. When you are busy with your career, there are five women. How can you take care of them? What I just hope is that you will never show mercy everywhere and accompany them well. Give them happiness and be fair to them."
Zhang Haotian sighed and said, "Sheman, I know it is unfair to them, but I don't show mercy everywhere, I just... just..."
Zhou Xueman shook her head, staring at his handsome and heroic face with beautiful eyes and said, "Haotian, you don't need to explain. Don't forget that I am a psychology student and understand your personality. It's not your fault. You are a person who values feelings and is unwilling to hurt women. Of course, you won't have the heart to refuse. What's more, your women are all very outstanding, especially Xiaowei. I have read her information. You can accept her, and you are much better than ordinary men."
Speaking of this, she said, "I didn't mean to blame you for a few women, but since this situation has become a reality, you should think about how to treat them. As for us, I think it should be clear. It is not ruled out that I had some good feelings for you in the past, but it can only be limited to good friends and mud pits. It's just an accident. Since the accident has passed, we are safe and sound, of course everything must be back on track. Do you understand?"
