Chapter 776 The Pearl of the Grasslands (1)
Wangyou never doubted the fighting strength of her people; after all, their ancestor had almost wiped out the whole of Europe.
However, the Mongols were good at conquering the world, but not good at governing it. Wangyou wanted to cultivate his brother Borjigit Tolui into an excellent leader, rather than a brute who only knew how to fight.
The results over the past few years have been good. Torre has an extraordinary talent for training troops, but his political acumen is still lacking. However, there's no rush; we can take it slowly.
Although Wangyou has more than one brother, only Tuole is her biological brother from the same mother. The others are half-brothers, each with their own ulterior motives, so she has to be careful around them in daily life.
"Sister, what brings you here? And you've brought two brothers-in-law with you."
"Come and see how your training is going, brother, and maybe improve the firearms while you're at it."
"Perfect timing! I practiced that Bagua formation you mentioned today. Why don't you come and see the results? I think it's already pretty good," Torre said excitedly.
"Okay, by the way, brother, how's the naval training going?"
“This is a bit slow. We’re not very close to the sea. Father is thinking of relocating some of our people there.”
“How about I take Achen and Linlin with me to relocate? I’m free anyway, and Emperor Kangxi is coming soon, so it’s a good opportunity to avoid them.”
"His Majesty will arrive in another half month. We can't put together a decent team in half a month, and being too hasty will arouse suspicion. It's better to wait until they leave before making preparations," Torre said logically.
"Wow, bro, you actually have a brain!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever lost my brain?" Torre laughed and scolded.
"By the way, someone from the Qijia clan also came this time, and it was none other than the young prince, Princess Mu, from the Qijia clan."
Wangyou, Zhang Qilin, and Xie Yuchen exchanged a glance. Could this Gegemu be Heixiazi? Those three have also come.
"That's perfect, we can meet up then." The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the training ground. Torre waved his hand, and the military formation was activated once again.
"It looks alright. Although it can't compare to a real Bagua formation, it's more than enough to deal with ordinary people." Standing above, watching the formation in operation, Wangyou nodded and said.
"Little sister, interested in giving it a try?"
"Then forget it, it's too tiring and a waste of time." Wangyou shook her head and refused. She was a noble little princess of the grasslands, and this kind of tiring work of breaking through the army was not suitable for her.
"Why don't you two brothers-in-law give it a try? It'll be a good opportunity to test your recent progress," Torre said, looking at Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin.
“Why not!” Both of them nodded.
Both of them are fourteen years old this year. Two years ago, they successfully stayed by Wangyou's side with their unparalleled martial arts skills and also gained the recognition of Prince Borjigit, Princess and Crown Prince. They generally do not refuse to prove their strength by breaking into the army formation.
In this life, Zhang Qilin's original name is Nagus Qilin, and Xie Yuchen's original name is Guo Erluosi Yuchen.
Wangyou wouldn't stop him; isn't friendship between men forged through fighting?
"Then good luck to you guys, I'll be waiting for your triumphant return," said Wangyou, who loved watching the drama unfold.
The two men mounted their horses and entered the Bagua Formation. As soon as they entered, the formation began to change. When they turned around, they were surrounded by people. Entering was easy, but getting out was difficult.
Torre also wanted to test his training results, so he went in with the two of them.
The three were now surrounded, making the fight extremely difficult.
I thought it would be quick, but once the formation turned, it was already dark.
The three of them are now obsessed with the Bagua Formation and will not give up until they can get out openly and honestly.
Temujin and his queen Hailanzhu were waiting for their children to come home for dinner, but they didn't see them. They then learned that their three children were trying to break through the Bagua Formation, while their daughter was watching the fun.
After learning that the three had been trying to break through the formation for a day, Temujin became interested and came over with his queen.
"Father, Mother, what brings you here?"
"Look at you, you little rascal! What kind of excitement has you been so engrossed in that you forgot to eat?" Hailanzhu said, tapping her daughter's nose.
"Mother, I almost forgot. I'm hungry, but my brother, Achen, and Linlin won't come out. They insist on passing through the Bagua Formation in a fair and square manner. I was thinking of timing them to see when they'll come out."
"I brought you dinner. Why don't you eat while you watch?"
"Good idea, Father, do you want to come along?"
"I'll go see how powerful this Bagua formation is; it actually trapped my excellent sons and sons-in-law!" Temujin was eager to try it out; he really wanted to test the power of the Bagua formation.
"Alright, let's ignore them and enjoy our meal together."
“Mother is right, let’s go, let’s go.” So the mother and daughter sat down to eat and watch what was happening below, while Temujin stood aside watching the army formation operate. To be honest, he really wanted to experience it himself.
After the mother and daughter had eaten and drunk their fill, Wangyou decided to wait for the others to come out. Breaking through the formation was very tiring, and even though the three of them had physical strength and martial arts skills far exceeding those of ordinary people, they would probably be half-crippled by the time they came out.
“Father, Mother, you should go back first. I’ll wait for them to come out. Judging from their condition, they probably won’t be out until tomorrow. They’re practically ruined. I have to wait and check their health.”
"Alright, just tell the servants to do it if you need anything." Hailanzhu didn't insist, and pulled Temujin, who was eager to try, aside and left.
"Don't pull me, I need to check again."
"What are you looking at? You're an old man, do you think you can go in and come out alive? Just look, don't overestimate yourself and try it. I don't want to be a widow!"
"Hailanzhu, you're exaggerating. I am, after all, one of the top warriors on the grasslands!"
"That was back then. Now you're over forty, don't compare yourself to when you were young." Hailanzhu's sharp tongue pierced the heart.
"Hailanzhu, I will show you whether I am capable or not!" Enraged, Temujin picked up his queen and carried her back to their room.
After watching her father and mother's dramatic performance, Wangyou was still not satisfied. She thought to herself, "My mother knows that my father is easily teased, but she still teases him all the time. The price she pays is that he can't get up the next day. Why bother?"
The gaze shifted back to the Bagua Formation. The three people fighting fiercely inside looked exhausted. It was hard to imagine whether their two fiancés would still be able to stay together after they came out and took a shower.
It is said that Emperor Kangxi came to Mongolia this time for the marriage of his brother Tolui, wanting to marry a princess of their Qing Dynasty to him. However, it is unknown which princess it is.
It seems that Emperor Kangxi's princesses were all quite unlucky in history. This dynasty is a little different, but the unlucky attribute should still be the same. I just don't know which one will be sent, and whether her brother will like her.
However, it's unlikely he'd like her. After all, given how Emperor Kangxi treated Mongolian women, his daughter would likely receive the same treatment in Mongolia, so a romantic relationship was definitely out of the question.
